I'm going to have to get this book.
I think.
flap copy:
White papers are at the forefront of an educational marketing revolution. Powerful enough to lure readers and able to persuade with unyielding strength, the well-written white paper is a super weapon in the marketing professional's arsenal.
Wearing many hats, the white paper can talk business or converse technically, and it can inform or influence. Best of all—it is highly sought-after. The white paper's underlying strength rests on this premise: If you give readers something of value, they will give you their loyalty, and ultimately their business. This book aims to equip anyone with the tools necessary to immediately begin writing white papers that attract readers and keep them engaged.

You can make money at this? I'm actually shocked. I've read a million white papers and produced a few myself, but it never occurred to me that this was an "industry."

I know!
It's pretty cool.
Doug?
Is that you?
Sundseth, I mean.
Hi Michael!
Cool!
It looks really interesting.
The Norwegian Sundseth looks like someone who simply found and commented on a blog with posts from another Sundseth... I really doubt Doug would list his Astological Sign or Zodiac Year in his profile (if he even knows them)
Its really great the white papers have such value. I also found a link at http://whatsonweb.blogspot.com which is damn good for white paper writer.
