You've heard the hype. But does social media really work for complex, high-ticket, B2B aviation marketing? We have complicated products and services that can really benefit from being demonstrated online. And you have competitors who still think social media is for teenage girls to share eye makeup techniques and funny videos of their guinea pigs. (It is. But it HAS grown significantly beyond that!) Authors John and Paula Williams are no strangers to the high expectations (and sometimes low margins) of FBOs, MROs, charter companies, repair stations, software companies, component makers, and doctors, lawyers and insurance professionals in the aviation industry. The company they founded has achieved consistently high performance results for these clients. The answer is yes. In fact, in some ways, it works even BETTER for aviation. We have specialized audiences, so targeting is much more important so that we're not wasting money advertising to the general population. From the Forward by Best Selling Social Media Author Kim Walsh Phillips "Like one of my celebrity coaching clients - Kevin "Mr. Wonderful" O'Leary of NBC's Shark Tank - likes to say, "It isn't magic. It's smart marketing."You are in the best time ever to grow a business. Opportunity abounds and if used wisely it can skyrocket your growth. This book is the exact tool you need to get you there. In the pages that follow, Paula shares how to build an effective long game marketing campaign that will drive a prospect from not knowing anything about you to seeking a conversation and ultimately closing the sale. Paula is the leading expert in aviation marketing and she's put together the exact blueprint you need to effectively market online.Reviews of the 2016 Version "This book will revolutionize how you view the power of marketing and social media." By Jeff Stodola "A definite must-read for everybody in the aviation business! Tons of great information and ideas about how to create a comprehensive and long term marketing plan using social media. A warning... you'll need a pen and paper while you're reading this book to write down specific things you need to do for your business. Full disclosure: I've worked with ABCI in the past and am probably biased toward their strategies since I know how well they work. Unsolicited Review - This is totally worth the few hours of reading time."By Jerry Buccola on Amazon"Read this on the flight to national NBAA convention. This book is worth the few hours of reading time because it is REALLY helpful. Why? It is packed with concrete practical analysis, tips, and recommendations on implementing an effective social media presence. Highlights for me: 1) The fighter pilot checklist of Observe/Orient/Decide/Act, 2) Why Content Matters - with a half dozen effective items to include in postings, 3) LinkedIn Success Stories, 4) Why Google is Worth Evaluating. Read it. I mean it. By the way, this is an unsolicited review.

A two-year-old biracial American girl brought to China on the eve of the Communist takeover endures societal discrimination and maternal betrayal as she struggles over 30 years to maintain her identity as an American and to return to the United States. Among the first wave of educated youth sent from the cities to the countryside two years before the Cultural Revolution, she spends 9 years in Xinjiang, China's rugged far west. There, as part of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, she travels through the Taklamakan Desert on an unusual mission and faces the Soviet army and near-starvation while forging friendships with the Uyghur inhabitants. Returning to Beijing, she manages to contact the U.S. Liaison Office there to establish her American citizenship in the face of strong opposition from the Chinese government and in 1978 becomes the first American involuntarily held in China to return to the United States since the Korean War. Back in the United States and tasting freedom at last thanks to her resourcefulness and the work of U.S. Department of State officials, she is determined to fit in despite the different culture and the challenges of a new language she was not allowed to learn in China. Her knowledge of Communist China, rare in the United States at that time, makes her a sought-after resource by a number of government offices and private businesses. She marries an American diplomat and travels to Taiwan where she looks to the future with the determination and optimism that have taken her so far.

A forgotten feminist classic about a civilization without men. A mirror image to Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale, Herland is Charlotte Gilman's feminist utopian novel that attempts to paint a portrait of an all-female society and its resulting accomplishments. Herland is a paradise: no war, no crime, no hunger, no waste, no vanity, no jealousy and no heartbreak. First appearing as serial installments in Charlotte Gilman's own Forerunner magazine in 1915, Herland was not published as a single volume until the feminist movement revived it in the 1970s. Though it was written close to a century ago, Herland depicts a utopian vision that successfully incorporates a feminist philosophy and critique. In spite of certain cultural stereotypes that persist in the novel, Herland is still a relevant and powerful model of feminist thought and community. Gilman's own use of language in Herland is uniquely feminist. She frequently utilizes plays on words and her own word coinages in her descriptions. In Herland, Gilman comments on a set of themes that are instrumental in shaping women's identity and thus inherently a part of in feminist study. These themes include language and education; sexuality and motherhood; and power structures and religion. The women of Herland defy the expected norms of female behavior in both the turn of the century and present day United States. They have short hair, their manner of dress is based on comfort and function, they are naturally athletic and physically strong, they are all highly educated and have specialized jobs in the community, their self-esteem is not dependent on validation by men, and they are assertive in setting and maintaining boundaries. Charlotte Gilman was a prominent American sociologist, novelist, writer of short stories, poetry, and non fiction, and a lecturer for social reform. She was a Utopian feminist during a time when her accomplishments were exceptional for women, and she served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of post-partum depression.

A work of modern apologetics aimed at intelligent young people searching for answers to the meaning of life. As the title indicates, the author addresses his nineteen nieces and nephews, who range in age from 17 to 40. However, these young people are taken as representatives of a wide and varied audience. The questions posed by the author lead to an examination of whether human beings are immortal, what life after death may be like and how the choices made in this life relate to it.

Born about the year AD 200, Thascus Caecillius Cyprianus was the scion of an ancient and noble Roman family living in North Africa. A convert to Christianity in mid-life, Cyprian was acclaimed bishop of Carthage during a time of intense Empire-wide persecution by the Roman imperial authorities under the emperor Decius. In the twelve year span between his conversion and his martyrdom in AD 258 during the reign of Valerian, Cyprian wrote some of the most important foundational documents of the ante-Nicene Church.This volume contains the entirety of Saint Cyprian's writing--13 treatises and all of his correspondence, 82 letters in all. It also includes "The Life and Passion of Saint Cyprian" by his companion, Pontius the Deacon, as well as the minutes of the Seventh Council of Carthage over which Cyprian presided. His writings encompass the major issues of his day including the Roman persecutions, the unity of the Church, dealing with those who renounced the faith under threat from the state (the lapsi), the Novatian heresy and the rebaptism controversy. His correspondents included the most illustrious men of the early Latin Church, including three Popes--Cornelius, Stephen I, and Sixtus II.Read and cited frequently by theologians down through the ages, Saint Cyprian's writings are of surpassing authority and were considered works of genius "brighter than the sun" by Saint Jerome. Aside from their obvious ecclesiastical import, the works of Cyprian also offer a detailed and unique glimpse into Roman society at the height of the anti-Christian persecutions and demonstrate the growth and struggles of the early Church during a time of intense external political pressure.Based on the translation originally published as part of The Ante-Nicene Fathers [1885], this new edition includes a new introduction, updated commentary, an updated bibliography, and several new appendices including "The Quotable Cyprian".
