This article will guide you on how to become a blogger with just Facebook. While everyone's Facebook posts are usually quite short, the Facebook Notes app lets you post longer posts with photos, videos, titles, and more. If you want to spread your posts through your network of friends, you can create a Facebook Page and use it to share your posts and ideas with more readers.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Use Facebook Notes
Visit the page https://www.facebook.com/notes from the browser. The Facebook Notes app allows you to share articles, photos, videos and ideas with friends in a longer format. The app also provides text formatting tools like bullet points, numbering, font selection, and media attachment.
- If you aren't logged into Facebook, follow the on-screen instructions to log in.
- You can also access the Facebook Notes app from your profile by clicking on the tab More (See more) at the top of the screen and select Notes (Note).
Click + Write a Note (Write notes) to create blog posts. This button is near the top-right corner of the page. This will open up a large text input area for you to create new posts.- If you visit the page Notes (Note) from the profile page, you will see options + Add Note (Add notes).
Click Drag or click to add a photo (Drag and drop or click to add photo) to add cover photo. This step is optional, but it will make your post stand out.
Enter a title for the article in the "Title" field. This field is below the cover image at the top of the page. The title of the article will appear in the Notes list.
Write or paste blog content into the text input field. You can type the content directly into this field, or type the content using other word processing software and applications, such as Pages, Microsoft Word or Notepad, and then paste it into the text input box. You can choose any way.- Click the small paragraph icon in the left corner of the text input area to view editing options. You can add titles, lists and text markup (HTML Tags) in this menu.
- To add media to the article, click the mark + next to the text input area, and select Photo (Photo) or Embed (Embed) (to paste the path of the video).

After clicking this button, the post will be visible to the audience you have selected in the privacy menu and a link to the post will appear on your profile as a regular status line.
- To see my own articles, visit https://www.facebook.com/notes and click My Notes (My Notes) near the top right corner of the page.
Method 2 of 2: Use a Facebook Page
Create a Facebook page for blogging. The Facebook page is a special Facebook page that allows artists, musicians, people of the public, organizations, businesses, and brands to connect with their fans and customers. Creating a Facebook page for blogging is a great way to keep your blog posts separate from your regular personal page. You will also be able to access more data than you would on your profile. To create a Page from Facebook.com, you would do the following:
- Click Create (Create) near the top right corner of the homepage and select Page (Page).
- Click the button Get Started (Get Started) under "Community or Public Figure".
