When you finish a white paper, what’s next?<\/h2>\n

If you’re like most writers, you send in your invoice<\/strong>, and then take the rest of the day\u00a0off.<\/p>\n

But haven’t you forgotten something?<\/p>\n

What about sending your client all the sources you referenced in your white paper?<\/p>\n

How about backing up all those claims\u00a0in your argument with some solid evidence?<\/p>\n

I believe this must become a\u00a0standard practice<\/strong> for white papers to maintain their stature in B2B marketing. Here’s why.<\/p>\n

Can you handle the truth?<\/h3>\n

In 2016, the U.S. went through a terribly divisive election. And in the UK, the Brexit referendum was equally contentious.<\/p>\n

Many observers point out that campaigns on both sides of the Atlantic spewed out a continuous stream of exaggerations<\/a>, fantasies<\/a>, and old-fashioned lies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"collage<\/h3>\n

Some politicians go so far as to insist that the truth doesn’t matter any more. Something just has to “feel” true.<\/p>\n

Or, as a writer for Esquire<\/em> magazine put it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

There no longer is any line between information and disinformation, between empirical fact and magical thinking, between truth and Colbertian “truthiness<\/a>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Truth does matter<\/h3>\n

But nothing is true just because it “feels” true.<\/p>\n

After all, doesn’t it “feel like” the earth is flat? And doesn’t it “feel like” the sun goes around the earth?<\/p>\n

But science proved thousands of years ago those feelings aren’t true.<\/p>\n

By the same token, effective B2B marketing requires separating facts from feelings. And any false claim, once exposed, can sink a sale.. and ruin the reputation of a vendor.<\/p>\n

I’ve never had a client ask me to fabricate sources. And I wouldn’t do it even if they did ask.<\/p>\n

But in every workshop I give, someone asks if it’s okay to make up your sources. Guess what I tell them?<\/p>\n

Never.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back to white papers<\/h3>\n

One reason white papers pay so well is because clients expect you to do your homework, to dig out authoritative sources and to quote them properly.<\/p>\n

How can you prove that you really did that?<\/p>\n

The best\u00a0way is to turn over a set of your sources to your client with your draft.<\/p>\n

Why should a writer spend extra time doing something your client never asked for? Or, if you are a client, why should you insist on this?<\/p>\n

For all these reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The ability to easily spot-check<\/strong> sources adds quality to your white paper.<\/li>\n
  2. Having sources on f<\/strong>ile\u00a0<\/strong>enables your client to deliver them on request… even if the original webpage is taken down or moved to a different URL.<\/li>\n
  3. This shows you’re a professional<\/strong> who’s diligent<\/strong> and confident<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. This elevates the level of discourse<\/strong> in your white paper, and in your\u00a0industry, to rely more on evidence and less on hype.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Use a universal file format: PDF<\/h3>\n

    Enough of the preamble, let’s get on to the how-to.<\/p>\n

    \"logo<\/p>\n

    No client wants to deal with a hodge-podge of sources in all different file formats:<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Graphics
    \n\u2022 HTML
    \n\u2022 PowerPoints
    \n\u2022 Screen grabs
    \n\u2022 Word
    \n\u2022 etc.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Why not make it easy by delivering all your sources as PDFs?<\/p>\n

    PDF is a universal file format with a free reader for every platform.<\/p>\n

    Once you have a PDF, you’ll be able to access it for many years.<\/p>\n

    And as shown in the table, you can easily pull any type of source material into that file format.<\/p>\n

    How to generate PDFs<\/h3>\n

    Here are a couple more tips on how to create PDFs under MacOS or Windows.<\/p>\n

    From MacOS<\/strong>: Save as PDF or Print to PDF from any application.<\/p>\n

    From Windows<\/strong>: You can Print to PDF from any application if you own Adobe Acrobat\u2014the paid version, not the free Acrobat Reader.<\/p>\n

    If you don’t have Acrobat, if you can see it on the web, you can save it as PDF.<\/p>\n

    Check out the online converter at http:\/\/www.html-to-pdf.net\/free-online-pdf-converter.aspx<\/a>. Just copy in a\u00a0URL, paste it into the converter, and wait a few seconds for your free PDF.<\/p>\n

    Numbering PDFs to match footnotes<\/h3>\n

    After you have a\u00a0complete set of PDFs, you don’t want to deliver them as a jumble. You can make each of your sources\u00a0easier to find.<\/p>\n

    One simple way is to match each PDF filename to the right footnote<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    I use the |<\/strong> character to separate the title from the publisher in the filename:<\/p>\n

    #–Title | publisher.pdf<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This way, you can name the PDFs for footnotes 1 through 3 like this:<\/p>\n

    1–Can-You-Handle-the-Truth | CNN.pdf
    \n2–The-scientific-method-still-counts | Economist.pdf
    \n3–ACME-special-report-on-honesty | ACME.pdf<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0takeaways<\/h3>\n

    It’s not okay to make up “facts” for a white paper. Instead, you should do your own research. Then provide your client with a complete, organized set of sources.<\/p>\n

    Otherwise, how can you prove you did the research and quoted it properly?<\/p>\n

    I believe this is a best practice that all white paper writers should follow. This practice is good for readers, good for clients, and good for writers.<\/p>\n

    Once you get in the habit, this will become a familiar part of wrapping up every white paper project.<\/p>\n
