The white paper should be created on a topic that people would like to read about. That may seem like an impossible task considering it's a business document that's naturally dry. But if anyone is interested in the products, they will probably be interested in most of the topics in the white paper as well. The best way to set the topic is to ask who your audience is.

Write a one-time introduction. If you are asking a novelist, he will say that the first paragraph - even the first line - is the best in the whole novel. If a reader does not go beyond the first paragraph, he will not read the rest either.

To be descriptive: You should not gloss over the details. The white paper is responsible for this - making details about complex features or facts. You want to go into details that you think customers are interested in. However, you should not exaggerate. You have to remember that you are only trying to make a purchase decision.

Focus on value: Yes, you write a professional document that should penetrate deeper into products than they would normally do in an advertisement. But it still serves to sell the products to customers and that means you have to add value whenever you can.

Organize paper and write first draft, then rewrite it until it's perfect. One of the problems that whitepapers can sometimes suffer is a lack of organization. You have to make sure you know exactly what you are going to write. Then the first draft is always rewritten until it presents the information as succinctly as possible.

Summary:

The white paper is a professional document intended to provide detailed product information, research, technical specifications or more. In addition to the whitepaper, there are three variants: the green, the blue and the yellow paper. Whitepapers also have a few variations: the Background Whitepaper, the Bullet Point Whitepaper, and the Problem Solution Whitepaper.
