English to Serbian: Bibliotherapy General field: Other Detailed field: Advertising / Public Relations
Source text - English Feeling sad? There is a treatment with a long history where it's believed that you can read yourself happy. The official definition of "Bibliotherapy" is the use of books as therapy in the treatment of mental or psychological disorders. You don't need a clinical study to know the healing power of books.
Read before bedtime.
Set aside 30 minutes purely for reading a book at the end of the day and turn this into a daily routine. Don't play with your cellphone at this time - reading texts, replying to emails or looking at cats on the Internet will not bring prolonged relaxation or provide the true escapism that a book can offer. A good book can be hard to put down so it's possible that 30 minutes can turn into 60, but that's not a problem. You might have had a bad day but at least try and end it on a calm, positive note.
Read to someone else.
Reading doesn't have to be a solitary experience. The kids, your grandchildren, your partner, anyone. It's also therapeutic for the other person to listen. Some elementary schools welcome parents for 1-1 reading sessions with pupils. Some libraries want volunteers for reading sessions. Same goes for old peoples' homes. Also a natural consequence of reading to someone else is discussion about the book afterwards. Shared experiences are good experiences.
Embark on a reading quest if you feel your life lacks direction.
A quest can vary from a straight-forward challenge to read a certain number of books in a year to finally reading something you have always meant to read - you know, that dusty copy of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment that you bought in 2002.
If you are a committed fan of a particular genre, try something completely different.
Walk across to a section of the bookstore that you have never visited and select something unlikely. You like romance, try a business memoir. You like thrillers, try PG Wodehouse. A change is as a good as a rest sometimes. Your selection might turn out to be awful but at least you will now definitely know it's not for you.
You could also arrange your next vacation around visits to amazing bookshops - aka bookstore tourism.
Translation - Serbian
Osećate se tužno? Čitanje je tretman sa dugom istorijom, za koji se verovalo da može doprineti vašoj sreći. Po definiciji, ''Biblioterapija'' je vrsta terapije u kojoj se čitanje knjiga koristi kao tretman u lečenju mentalnih i psiholoških poremećaja. Ne treba vam nikakva klinička studija da biste se uverili u isceljujuću moć knjiga.
Čitajte pre spavanja
Izdvojite 30 minuta samo za čitanje knjige na kraju dana i neka vam to postane svakodnevna rutina. Ne mojte se tada igrati mobilnim telefonom - čitanje tekstova, odgovaranje na mejlove, pa čak ni gledanje mačaka na internetu vam neće doneti dugotrajno opuštanje niti obezbediti pravi beg od stvarnosti koji samo knjiga može da ponudi. Teško je zatvoriti dobru knjigu, pa 30 minuta može da se produži na 60, ali to ne treba da predstavlja problem. Možda ste imali loš dan, ali bar pokušajte i završite ga dodajući mu umirujuću, pozitivnu notu.
Čitajte drugima
Ne morate čitati samo kada ste sami. Možete čitati zajedno sa svojom decom, unucima, partnerom, s bilo kim. Ima terapiski efekat i lekovito je i za druge da vas slušaju dok čitate. Neke osnovne škole pozivaju roditelje da čitaju svakom đaku pojedinačno. Neke biblioteke traže volontere za tretmane čitanja. Neki odlaze u staračke domove. Naravno, ono što usledi nakon čitanja nekom drugom je razgovor o pročitanom. Zajednička iskustva su najbolja iskustva.
Stoga, ako osećate da vam u životu nedostaje dobar pravac, krenite u pravcu čitanja. To može značiti postaviti sebi izazov u vidu broja knjiga koji ćete godišnje pročitati, ili da konačno pročitate ono što ste oduvek želeli - znate, onaj primerak ''Zločina i kazne'' od Dostojevskog, koji ste kupili još 2002., a na koji je već pala prašina.
Ako ste odani ljubitelj nekog određenog žanra, pokušajte onda nešto potpuno drugačije.
Idite do odeljka knjižare koji niste pre posetili i izaberite nešto drugo. Ako volite romantične knjige, izaberite poslovne memoare. Ako volite trilere. probajte nešto humoristično od P.G. Woodhouse-a. Promena, je poput odmora, dobra s vremena na vreme. To što ste izabrali može vam biti užasno, ali bar ćete konačno znati da nije za vas.
Možete isplanirati i da tokom nekog od sledećih godišnjih odmora posetite i neke predivne knižare - aka bookstore tourism!
English to Serbian: Physical books still outsell e-books — and here’s why General field: Other Detailed field: Marketing
Source text - English Physical books still outsell e-books — and here’s why
Do you prefer reading an e-book or a physical version? It might be a surprise, but for most people, old school print on paper still wins.
Publishers of books in all formats made almost $26 billion in revenue last year in the U.S., with print making up $22.6 billion and e-books taking $2.04 billion, according to the Association of American Publishers’ annual report 2019. Those figures include trade and educational books, as well as fiction.
While digital media has disrupted other industries such as news publishing and the music business, people still love to own physical books, according to Meryl Halls, managing director of the Booksellers’ Association in the U.K.
“I think the e-book bubble has burst somewhat, sales are flattening off, I think the physical object is very appealing. Publishers are producing incredibly gorgeous books, so the cover designs are often gorgeous, they’re beautiful objects,” she told CNBC.
People love to display what they’ve read, she added. “The book lover loves to have a record of what they’ve read, and it’s about signaling to the rest of the world. It’s about decorating your home, it’s about collecting, I guess, because people are completists aren’t they, they want to have that to indicate about themselves.”
Genres that do well in print include nature, cookery and children’s books, while people prefer to read crime, romantic novels and thrillers via e-reader, according to Nielsen Book International.
It’s more than a decade since Amazon launched the Kindle, and for Halls, there is also a hunger for information and a desire to escape the screen. “It’s partly the political landscape, people are looking for escape, but they are also looking for information. So, they are coming to print for a whole, quite a complex mess of reasons and I think … it’s harder to have an emotional relationship with what you’re reading if it’s on an e-reader.”
While millennials are sometimes blamed for killing industries, it’s actually younger people who appear to be popularizing print. Sixty-three percent of physical book sales in the U.K. are to people under the age of 44, while 52% of e-book sales are to those over 45, according to Nielsen.
It’s a similar picture in the U.S., where 75% of people aged 18 to 29 claimed to have read a physical book in 2017, higher than the average of 67%, according to Pew Research.
Translation - Serbian Prodaja štampanih knjiga još uvek nadmašuje prodaju eknjiga - evo i zašto!
Da li više volite čitanje štampane ili eknjige? Možda će vas iznenaditi, ali za većinu ljudi stara škola štampanja na papiru još uvek pobeđuje.
Prema godišnjem izveštaju Udruženja američkih izdavača iz 2019, prošle godine u SAD-u izdavači knjiga u svim formatima ostvarili su prihod od skoro 26 milijardi dolara, od čega su štampane knjige donele 22,6 milijardi a eknjige 2,04 milijarde dolara. Ove brojke uključuju knjige namenjene široj publici, udžbenike, kao i beletristiku.
Prema izjavi Meryl Halls, generalne direktorke Udruženja knjižara u UK-u, dok su digitalni mediji potkopali druge produkcije kao što su dnevna štampa i muzička produkcija, ljudi još uvek žele da poseduju štampane knjige.
''Mislim da je preuveličana priča o eknjigama nekako splasnula, prodaja se smanjuje, mislim da su štampane knjige vrlo privlačni predmeti. Izdavači prave neverovatno raskošne knjige, dizajn naslovnih stranica je često predivan, to su prelepi predmeti'', rekla je ona za CNBC televiziju.
Ljudi vole da pokazuju ono što su pročitali, dodala je ona. ''Ljubitelji knjiga vole da znaju šta su pročitali, a i da to pokažu drugima. Pretpostavljam da se radi i o tome da ukrasite svoj dom, da napravite kolekciju, jer ljudi su kolekcionari, zar ne, žele to da imaju i da to nešto govori o njima.''
Prema Nielsen Book International-u, žanrovi koji se u štampanom formatu dobro prodaju su knjige o prirodi, kulinarstvu i dečje knjige, dok u e-formatu ljudi najviše vole da čitaju krimi literaturu, romantične romane i trilere.
Prošlo je više od jedne decenije od kako je Amazon lansirao Kindle, i prema Halls-u, postoji glad za informacijama i želja da se izbegne ekran.
''Delimično, to je neka vrsta politike, ljudi traže načine da izbegnu ekran, ali isto tako i tragaju za informacijama. Pribegavaju štampanom materijalu zbog mnogo kompleksnih razloga i mislim ....teže je biti emotivno vezan za nešto što čitaš ako je to na e-čitaču.''
Dok se omladina 21. veka ponekad krivi za uništavanje industrije, čini se da zapravo mlađi ljudi popularizuju štampanje. Prema Nielsen-u, 63% prodatih štampanih knjiga u UK-u proda se mladima uzrasta ispod 44 godine, dok se 52% eknjiga proda starijima od 45 godina.
Slična situacija je i u SAD-u, gde je prema Pew Research-u, 75% ljudi uzrasta od 18 do 29 godina tvrdilo da je čitalo štampane knjige u 2017, što je iznad proseka koji iznosi 67%.
English to Serbian: Why There is Free Hosting but No Free Offshore Hosting? General field: Marketing Detailed field: Advertising / Public Relations
Source text - English In the modern digital and the world of trade having a web-site is an absolute must. Depending on your budget you might be wondering - free hosting vs. no free offshore hosting?
Hosting refers to the act of providing the backbone of web services to the general public (when server ''send a message'' to a web browser how to present the webpage we can say that server is "hosting" that certain website).
Free hosting means that the people who own the server do not charge the website's owner any money to host their content. Although free hosting is 100% free of charge, which is its main advantage, it has its disadvantages:
-limited in user support,
-the page loading speed is extremely slow,
-provide limited storage space; only 1GB,
-protection - your website is absolutely not secured from cyber
hacking,
-isn’t reliable, if one fine day the provider decides to shut it down,
there might be a possibility of your website disappearing without
notifying you,
hey can position their ads anywhere on your web pages, without
your approval. Your web page can get crowded with those ads thus
taking your advertising space too.
On the other hand, in offshore hosting, the location of that server is not in the country where the business is located.
Although it has to be paid, there are many advantages:
-you are deciding all about your content and design (ofc it’s add
free),
-24/7 assistance,
-the technical staffs are friendly and knowledgeable to solve your
queries,
-reliable and secure - your data on your web page also remains
secured,
-along with connections up to 10 Gbps, your data on your web page
will thus be transferred in milliseconds.
In conclusion, we can say although it will cost you, offshore hosting always wins over free hosting.

Source text - English USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO MARKET AND ADVERTISE
You can probably remember a moment in your life when you joined some of the popular social networks. Of course, reasons, why you did it, can vary from the wish to find new friends and be more in touch with old friends, to communicate with others and have good entertainment. But even more, you probably won't forget the day when you realize that social networks, social media, and digital marketing, in general, can be great business area, the field of market and advertising. Maybe you heard about it from a friend who has already benefited from advertising his small business over Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Twitter or maybe you just saw it on the Internet. Anyhow, let's discuss the use of social media to marketand advertise.
Traditional vs. Digital Marketing
Social media marketing is a form of Internet marketing that involves creating and sharing content on socialmedia networks in order to achieve your marketing and branding goals. Social media marketing includes activities like posting text and image updates, videos, and other content that drives audience engagement,as well as paid social media advertising.On the other hand, traditional marketing is a conventional type of marketing with various offline advertising and promotional methods. It is a form of marketing that we have been exposed through many decades before the era of expansion of the digital world. It has its limits in targeting the audience and has limited offline ranges. But advertising in the print form (such as magazines, newspapers, etc.), broadcasting (TV, radio, etc.), via direct mails (catalogs, postcards, etc.) and telephone (telemarketing, SMS marketing, etc.), still has its important place in our lives.If we consider PROMOTION as the main goal of marketing, we can find that digital marketing is more effective. On the other hand, traditional marketing can do what digital can not. So, in conclusion, I can rather say that we should use each one of them in their unique manners enjoying their complementation.No matter how large is the size of your business, for many businesses, choosing the right type of marketing is not easy, even though it can make a huge difference in their result.
Benefits of Social Media marketing and communication
Social media marketing is a powerful tool for all types of businesses to reach potential customers. You present to your audience through social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest your products. Social media helps you to reach more people nearby and to reach more customers in your area.They provide different types of adds which you can design directly. Such a great marketing on social media can bring remarkable success to your business, creating devoted brand advocates and even driving leads and sales. Social media marketing can help with a number of goals, such as increasing website traffic, building conversions, raising brand awareness, creating a brand identity and positive brandassociation, improving communication and interaction with key audiences. The bigger and more engaged
your audience is on social media networks, the easier it will be for you to achieve every other marketing goal on your lists!More people know about your website, more your brand and the products you sell are exposed to potentialcustomers, the more familiar they become with it. This eventually can lead to increasing of the sale, but more than just that it also provides a valuable site for better understanding of your target audiences.
Social Media Strategy
In the end, let's consider what is a social media strategy, and how it can help you to boost your marketing results and build rapport with customers?A social media marketing strategy is a summary of everything you plan to do and to achieve on social media. Every post, reply, like, and comment should serve a purpose to measure and signalizing whether you are succeeding or failing! But before you finally design your social media strategy you need to consider in more details who is your audience, how do you want your brand to be perceived, what kind of content will you share, what social platforms are you going to use, what are the goals or results you want to achieve? Strategies vary for different social media platforms, depending on the nature of the platform. For example, you could use Facebook for reaching new customers, Instagram for visual content, and YouTube for video material. Anyhow, you have to be there where your audience expected you to be! So, define your business goals and proposals, choose your audience, personalize messages, manage your social media reputation by interacting with your social media followers, choose different social platforms, create proper content and start!
