Simply stated, a white paper is a report. But it's also an effective marketing tool designed to educate prospective customers.

TAPPAN, NY, October 06, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Simply stated, a white paper is a report. But it's also an effective marketing tool designed to educate prospective customers. If you're a freelance writer, you might be considering white papers as part of your overall writing services. If so, you need to learn the steps to writing effective white papers.

Suzanne Lieurance recently came across a valuable workbook that offers a step-by-step approach to writing white papers that generate sales leads. This workbook explains the difference between a white paper and a sales brochure, then describes the different types of white papers (for not all white papers are alike). There's also a chart in the workbook that helps you determine what type of white paper to write, depending on the purpose you have for any particular white paper. The workbook also includes templates for the different types of white papers.

If you follow the process outlined in this workbook, and use the templates, you should be able to create effective white papers without wasting a lot of time and effort. And that's good news for any freelance writer.

Using this workbook, you'll learn how to plan your white paper project. Visit http://workingwriterscoach.com/?p=5026 and learn how to get started in creating your White Paper today.
