Dear Marketing
Professional,
You can increase your customer base, slash your marketing costs, and
outsell your competition by delivering problem-solving white
papers to your customers and prospects.
And you don’t have to slave over this for weeks or months.
Your white paper can be finished, published, and
bringing new clients to your email box by this time
tomorrow.
Hi, my name is Perry Marshall. During the last three
years I’ve written over 100 white papers and magazine
articles. And I’m here to tell you that writing a white
paper doesn’t have to be a dreary chore. It can be
straightforward, pleasant, and remarkably
effective.
I’ve developed a no-nonsense formula for writing and promoting
your white paper that causes educated, sophisticated customers to call
you, so you don’t waste time and money chasing them.
How
a White Paper Takes Your Company’s
Message
And
Broadcasts it Across Your Industry
Why is
a White Paper more effective than more conventional, more
costly marketing tools?

Because nobody who bought a drill
ever really
wanted a drill.
They wanted a hole.
Therefore, if you want to sell drills,
you should
deliver information
about making holes,
not about drills!
Sounds awfully simple, doesn’t it?
But most companies do NOT understand this.
They just stand on rooftops and shout about how great their state-of-the-art, robust, scalable, best-of-breed, cutting edge solutions are.
Blah blah blah.
Everybody shrugs and walks on by.
Sure, ultimately the
"drill" does matter. But
before you sell someone a solution, they must agree with you
about the problem. A white paper is your company’s
statement about how that problem should be solved.
So if you sell drills,
you’ll get far more attention by offering useful information about making
holes. Do that and you’ll
instantly differentiate yourself from everybody else.
Few of your competitors will ever figure out that a simple
white paper is your secret to success.
White
papers are a best-kept secret that attracts new customers like a
magnet. My customer Mark Clark of Instant Access Music got a
sensational 16% response to an email blast, offering a white paper to
video producers. This kind of spectacular result is not at all unusual.
A similar approach for networking equipment got requests from 27% of
the people who got the email! Your
White Paper Does Not Have to Be
A 30-Page Dissertation!
One of the secrets to getting it done
fast is realizing that your customers are looking for quick,
accurate information, not an academic treatise. Half the
white papers I’ve done are only one page
long, most are 3-5 pages, and the longest was 14.
They only take a few hours to create, and they can be re-used
and recycled for years. It brings your paying clients, again
and again and again,
... Because a White
Paper Converts Web Visitors to Leads -
10 Times Better
than Ordinary Advertising!
Right now four of my corporate clients are offering
various problem solvers, white papers and guides on their
websites. The response ranges from 8% to 43% with an average of 17%.
Cost per
sales lead ranges from a maximum of $5 to as little as 30
cents. That’s a ten-times improvement over what most companies
get!
In direct mail, 0.5% is considered good. But a very simple campaign
using
cheap postcards got a 4.9% response. My clients and members consistently get two to ten
times more results than almost anybody else out there.
So what’s going on?
All of these astonishing results simply
come from creating concise, informative white papers and
guides, and promoting them effectively.
This Smarter Approach to Publicity Will Attract New Clients
Like a
Magnet
- Without You Chasing Them -
And Infuriate Your Competitors at the
Same
Time
Not only can you offer reports and white papers in exchange for
contact information, you can position yourself as an expert, win
free exposure in the press, and automate more of your sales process than you ever thought possible.
So I teamed up with C. Kenna Amos, a Professional Engineer and former editor of
Industrial Computing magazine, and together we’ve written the ultimate
course, called The Definitive Guide to Writing and
Promoting Your White Paper.
It’s
being used by everyone from small startup companies to The
U.S. Navy and three different divisions of IBM.
It is rapidly becoming industry’s definitive body of work on this subject.
Obviously it’s important to write it
correctly, and I’ll show you exactly how to do that. But it doesn’t matter how good your document
is unless people find out about it, ask for it and read it.
Remember:
the
most beautifully formatted, professionally written white
paper in the world does you no good ...
... If
Nobody Reads It!
That’s where most companies fail. But make no mistake - if you use my
formula, the results are breathtaking. You get emails and phone calls,
asking you for your information. Double digit conversion rates on
websites and email campaigns. Direct mail that didn’t used to work at
all, suddenly springs to life.
After hearing the audio interviews on publicity, your press
releases will generate explosive results and mega-credibility. Magazine editors
will ask you to contribute articles and sidebars to their publications.
Nowhere else will you find another white papers guide, manual or resource
with even a fraction of the publicity strategies that you’ll get in my Definitive Guide.

Is the term "White Paper"
worn out?
In some professions, yes.
"White paper" has become a synonym for "thinly disguised sales
pitch" (especially in IT). How do you sidestep that
problem? You’ll get a list of 43 alternatives to the term "white paper" so that your information always sounds fresh and intriguing.
The
Definitive Guide to Writing and Promoting White
Papers covers all of these topics, and includes
34 examples and 11 case studies from nine different industries. You’ll be
equipped with savvy methods that build your credibility and grow your market
share.
Plus: You’ll also get
2 rare audio CD’s valued at over $40 retail, but frankly worth much more
in terms of the value they’ll bring to your marketing strategy.
This is
my exclusive interview called
"How to Get Free Publicity in Trade Magazines."
Publicity can reliably generate new customers for you if you do it right. But
playing the publicity game with
trade magazines is
a subject that nobody’s addressing properly, and sadly, many
PR firms will actually do you more harm than good.
My formula for writing white papers is inherently
compatible with writers and editors. You’ll get those CD’s as part of the package.
No extra charge.
"How Do I Know if This is Right for My Business?"
If you’re a business-to-business marketer who sells to
sophisticated customers and feels like there must be a
better way to get your foot in the door, then you’re
right.
- Does your company sell innovative, cutting-edge products or technology?
- Are you a business management, sales, or
marketing and process consultant?
- Is yours a specialized service firm?
- Are you a hardware & software developer
or reseller?
- Do you specialize in Information
Technology, Customer Relationship Management or
manufacturing?
- Are you a healthcare manufacturer or
service provider?
- Does your company sell to governments and the Fortune 500?
If you answered
Yes to any of
the above questions, this toolkit is designed
precisely for you.

You Could Spend
10 Times
as Much in Other Advertising
For the
Same Results
You’d Get
from
One
White
Paper!
The last White
Paper I wrote for a client cost $5500. Depending on your perspective,
that might sound cheap - it might sound expensive. But considering it
was the first time their full sales story was ever told in print, and that the sales leads they get from
it are 1/10th as expensive as every other marketing method they’re
using, it was quite a bargain. You’ll discover the same methods I employ in my consulting work, for a tiny fraction of the
cost of hiring it done.
Are you a freelance writer or independent marketing
firm? Tired of getting paid only 50 cents or $1.00 per
word? This course will show you how to transform an
ordinary document into a credibility- building, low cost
customer magnet - an entire marketing channel for your
client. Far more valuable for them, and much more
lucrative for you.
So how much does this cost? The whole package
- the toolkit, the audios, the exhibits, the critique certificates and
consulting credits, is only $297.
"How
Do I Know I’m Not
Wasting Time & Money on This?"
Eric Ruth of DMI used a white paper strategy to generate over $100,000
of business in 3 months in the ultra-conservative credit union
industry. Eric then left DMI to be a consultant to athletic trainers.
He used the same strategy in his startup business, also with great
success:
"Using
the White Papers Course I created a PDF Special Report. I bought a $250
email newsletter ad that went out to 18,000 targeted suspects. I
followed your guidelines for
writing compelling teaser copy for the report.
"The newsletter went out on a Monday, by the end of the week
862 prospects had completed the form on my site to download
the Special Report. This represents almost a 5% conversion
rate, but more importantly, a cost per qualified lead of just
29 cents!
This one strategy alone, in about 30 days, has generated total sales
of $10,020 from $250 in marketing dollars, an ROI of 40:1."
If you don’t use a toolkit
like this, how much time and money will you waste? How
much does it cost to re-write a white paper? How much
does a failed direct mail campaign cost? How much does
it cost to miss a customer you would have otherwise
gotten? How much does it cost to make cold calls or buy
advertising space or web traffic?
The price of this toolkit is very
small in relation to the time and money it will save you.
If you’re on a tight
budget, just go ahead and choose the "Digital Download Basic"
version (without the bonus consulting sessions) for only $99 - and it still includes the
full course in PDF and "Publicity in
Trade Journals" interview in MP3. What are you
waiting for? Let’s get started.
