The very first thing we're going to do is go to your Events section within your Facebook account. Click on the "Create Event" link on the top. Add a catchy title for your message and keep the Network marked as: "Global" for maximum exposure.
Enter in the event type and your description/message.
Choose a date a month ahead of time so that the event will not pass by too quickly and show up for some time ahead.
Make sure that you keep the rest of the default settings to ensure maximum exposure.
Click on "Create Event" to continue.
The next step is to upload a photo (something that will capture your users attention) but something that goes along with the theme of your message.
After uploading your photo, ask all of your contacts to join the event by clicking on all of their names (in the pre-created menu) and they will automatically be added to your mailing list. After your list is ready, click on the "Send Invitation" button.
Now, go back to your Events page and click on the event that you just created. You will see all of the information you just entered. Now, click on the "Message All Guests" link that is located under the photo that you just uploaded.
Make sure that the "Attendees" section is set to all.
You can now message the entire list, by clicking on the "Send Message" link. It will show you a preview of the message that you just sent to your entire list, upon completion.
When your friends arrive in their Facebook inbox they will see a preview of your message with the photo that you've uploaded.
This technique is a powerful one!
