Building Fierce Loyalty & the World according to Sarah Robinson

I recently stumbled upon a free eBook, written and compiled by Sarah Robinson, who is an authority on building loyalty around a business. This is among the clearest and most provocative works compiled on the new world of social media that I've read in ages. It's compact and gets straight to the point in just 46 pages. Robinson establishes her authority through the voices of several experts (guest bloggers and leaders in their fields) on the topic of brand loyalty. According to her and her guests, a community-driven ("social pull") approach (rather than the old "push" model) can be most effective in marketing, in observing and meeting customer needs. True engagement with a community of customers leads to the collaborative effort of defining a brand. And, without further ado, I give you the eBook...

Just Published: The Lily & The Aster...

I have just published my third book, The Lily & The Aster, edited by Xavier Martin, and it is now available as an eBook or in paperback on Amazon! Soon to be available at other major retailers!

Riding the wave of success of my first two books, whose poetry established me as Semi-finalist in the New Millennium Writing's 2010 Poetry Contest, as well as Semi-finalist in the World Poetry Movement's 2011 Poetry Contest, this may be my best book yet!


******
Take a look at the review on the back of the book:

"January Nicole Wilson has again written a thoughtful and provocative collection of poetry with The Lily & The Aster, her third book.

In this book, Wilson uses a Japanese form of poetry, the haiku, to communicate her message. Each haiku is a meditation on the love, music and politics that fill her daily life.
To borrow the title from her second chapter, time and again her poetry is 'a confession of joy.'

She uses haiku to introduce three travel essays, included in The Lily & The Aster. Each essay tells an absorbing story of adventure in three different regions of the world, spanning Europe & Africa."
