The same posters (produced A4) are uploaded and posted, with nothing else. This is about as effective as the noticeboard outside your premises. Some people might see it and spread the word, but it\u2019s much more dependant on luck.<\/p>\n<p>However advanced computers are, they still rely on words. Whatever you\u2019re posting in the image, put in the text. Even if all you do is copy the text. Social media also has a way of putting your notice in places where people who want to see it, might see it, but you still have to<em> tell it<\/em>\u00a0where you want it. We do this with a #tag (that\u2019s the old pound sign, or Octothorpe if you want to use its official name). Use the #tag to include words that will help find it #wrexham, #charity are good ones, but they are quite broad #event, #free can get you some more eyes. You want to limit it to about 6 or 7 #tags, any more than that and the computer may treat your post like spam.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, you\u2019re posting on social media. If you\u2019re doing an event with someone, tag them. You tag them by typing @ (the at sign, or the \u2018commercial at\u2019 \u2013 except in Italian where it\u2019s playfully called the \u2018\u2019snail\u2019 sign) followed by their page name. That will let them know that you\u2019ve tagged them, and hopefully cause them to react. The more interaction your post get, the more people see it. It\u2019s like people nudging their friends and saying \u2018look at this\u2019.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><style>.ld_spacer_6a28d99566ce4{height:32px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6a28d99566ce4\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"vc_row liquid-row-shadowbox-6a28d99566d84\"><div class=\"ld-container container\"><div class=\"row ld-row ld-row-outer\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3 liquid-column-6a28d99566e39\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"  ><style>.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p{color:rgb(209, 220, 236);}.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {font-size:48px; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {line-height:1em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {--element-line-height:1em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {letter-spacing:-0.05em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {margin-bottom:0px !important;  } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em!important;bottom:0px!important;}.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {font-size:48px; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {line-height:1em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {--element-line-height:1em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {letter-spacing:-0.05em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea p {margin-bottom:0px !important;  } <\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6a28d99566eea\">\n\t<p class=\"ld-fh-element lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left text-decoration-default h1\"   >  02<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-9 liquid-column-6a28d99566fe3\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"  ><style>.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {font-size:18px; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {line-height:1.38em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {--element-line-height:1.38em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {margin-bottom:0.8em !important;  } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em!important;bottom:0px!important;}.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {font-size:18px; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {line-height:1.38em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {--element-line-height:1.38em; } .ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e h4 {margin-bottom:0.8em !important;  } <\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956707e\">\n\t<h4 class=\"ld-fh-element lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left text-decoration-default\"   >  <strong>Don&#8217;t Make More Work For Others<\/strong><\/h4><\/div><style>.ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956715b .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em!important;bottom:0px!important;}<\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6a28d9956715b\">\n\t<p class=\"ld-fh-element lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left text-decoration-default\"   >  People are, generally, very busy. Social media has become a way of continuing to be busy, but it\u2019s busy with their friends, and with the things that interest them. If you\u2019ve got their attention, don\u2019t make them scrabble to find the link to your website, so that they can find the post they want. On Facebook you can put the link right in the post, so do that.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sending your marketing out for others, don\u2019t send them PDF\u2019s for social media. Someone will have to convert that into an image, and THEN put it on their socials. That\u2019s a very quick way to get your stuff put into the \u2018I\u2019ll do it later\u2019 pile, which will reduce the chance of it getting anywhere in a useful time frame. Make their life easier, include the text you want in it as well. Charities often have one person with many different hats, the less work something is for them to do with their media hat on, the better the chance you have of getting your post out quickly and efficiently. The same goes for information into an email shot. Send the image (preferably in the \u2018Instagram square size), and the text in one email.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Tip: Don\u2019t put \u2018active links\u2019 into the text that you want sending out. They don\u2019t always work when copied and pasting. Make sure you have the \u2018plain text\u2019 URL.

This link also has links for specialised translations for health and law, and other useful pieces of information.<\/p>\n<p>You can also give some of the online translators a try. Their accuracy is improving all the time, but use with caution. That said, they can be really helpful if you have a Welsh learner who can read it for sense, but may not be comfortable translating.<\/p>\n<p>While the number of places that won\u2019t share your article because of lack of Welsh isn\u2019t high, it\u2019s not 0, and is slowly climbing. This is especially true if you deal with statutory bodies (like the council). If you can translate something into Welsh, it can make a real difference.
