I understand that a copy should go to exisiting clients and any prospects. Is there anywhere a white paper can be "published" or put on the web that will attract more readers? By the way, your blog is a must read! Thanks for everything. My question is in regards to distributing and marketing white papers.

Information about the subject was vague, promotional and difficult to comprehend, due to the jargon surrounding the concept. The first draft was rejected, siting my paper was "too negative". The second draft was submitted, without any feedback whatsoever. I took great pains to research something I didn't understand; in addition to that the guidelines about writing this were vague from management. Needless to say, its frustrating, and do not know if the second draft will be the end of my career here. I hope that isn't the case, but suspect that the person I am working with expects me to mirror them down to the last jot and tittle. Any advice?
