DESCRIPTION
Skip the line at the front door! Learn to detect the hidden social media
side doors that provide instant, privileged access to the top influencers
and decision-makers in any industry
Access is one of the great unexamined issues in social media. Barriers used to be everywhere, in
the form of gatekeepers and rules that governed access to people with power, authority, budgets,
expertise, and fame. But social media side doors—alternate avenues of access through social
media—have opened all around us, and few have noticed.
Through them, we can engage with top business executives, thought leaders, and tastemakers.
We have the unique ability to draw the attention of people and organizations that are bombarded
every day by countless competing traditional requests for consideration.
In The Social Media Side Door, social media strategist Ian Greenleigh reveals how to walk right
through the social media side doors that lie hidden in plain sight—to forge valuable relationships,
create business opportunities, raise your thought leader profile, or land the perfect job. It will
enable readers to expand their own means of access to those they wish to engage with, and the
ways in which this access—in both directions—can be leveraged to unlock a new level of ROI.
Praise for The Social Media Side Door
“Authentic relationship-building is the new marketing. Consider The Social Media Side Door your

—Ekaterina Walter, partner and CMO of Branderati and bestselling author of Think Like Zuck
“Social media is about connections. Real, personal connections that open doors, change your
career, and help you win. Ian Greenleigh will teach you exactly how to take it from theory to
reality.”
—Andy Sernovitz, author of Word of Mouth Marketing
“This is the stuff you wish you had known all along about social media. Greenleigh’s mix of
personal experience and proven strategy make this a compelling—and remarkably useful—read.”
—Mack Collier, author of Think Like a Rock Star and founder of #blogchat
“There’s a whole other mode of using social media in marketing—particularly in business-tobusiness, professional services, and in any business where thought leadership is effective:
influencer marketing. In The Social Media Side Door, Ian Greenleigh has provided a thorough and
valuable guide to overcome obstacles and be more effective. The timing couldn’t be better.”

DESCRIPTION
Little has been written about the instability of the Euro, but it’s a very real threat to investors
worldwide, as well as to the global economy. In The Fall of the Euro, the Global Head of Currency
Strategy at Nomura describes why the breakup of the Eurozone remains a real risk and outlines
investment strategies for the most likely scenarios.
Over the last two years, swings in global asset markets have been increasingly driven by
developments in Europe. This is something new: in the past, Europe was one of the most stable
parts of the global economy, and its typically minor economic fluctuations would have little
bearing on US equity markets. In the new environment of European turbulence, Europe's
economic and political developments will be a persistent source of shocks for global financial
markets. If the path ahead involves a disorderly breakup of the Eurozone, the instability to come
will be much more intense than what we have seen to date. As an investor, you need a roadmap.
This book provides it.
