Do it right: Get a White Paper Blueprint

Would you build a house with no blueprints?

Of course not.

Would you introduce a new product with no launch plan?

Never.

Then why should a white paper be any different?

But far too often, white papers are started with next-to-no plan.

A typical white paper scenario

Someone says, “Let’s do a white paper!”

And an eager colleague starts Googling. Another starts typing.

But with no clear blueprint, the project can easily spiral out of control.

That means false starts. Disagreements. Unhappy reviewers. Blown schedules.

A ton of stress for everyone.

And sometimes, that white paper never gets published at all.

Why do white papers fail?

white paper with question markAfter working in white papers for 25 years, I saw how some papers get started, but never finished.

And some are published, but never generate any significant results.

Ask anyone who’s done a few white papers. They’ve all seen some fails.

Why does this happen?

Common pitfalls.Unexpected surprises.

And most of all: Not enough planning.

So I decided to do something about it.

Introducing the White Paper Blueprint

I put on my thinking cap and developed the White Paper Blueprint: a process to make sure your next white paper gets published and gets results.

I tested and refined this process on dozens more white papers. By now I’ve done this so many times, it’s quick, easy, and affordable.

How quick?

In one 60-minute online meeting, I’ll pose all the key questions and lead your team through a productive discussion.

After a few days of reflection, I’ll send you a detailed blueprint for your next white paper.

Having that will save you weeks of time.

How easy?

You round up your key stakeholders for an online meeting. I’ll do the rest.

During our meeting, we’ll cover all these areas…

  • Your goals: your business goals, target audience, and desired outcome.
  • Content: the right format, your experts, and further research required.
  • Formats: the look, feel, and repurposing strategy.
  • Promotions: your promotions and success metrics.
  • Project management: your reviewers, timeline, and budget.

How affordable?

My one-time fee of US$975 covers your White Paper Blueprint.

That’s a fraction of your white paper budget. And you’ll see how that small investment saves you $$$ and guarantees better results.
