Hi SaaS marketers! Emily Amos here from Uplift Content.
White papers make excellent B2B SaaS lead magnets. They enable you to highlight your products or services while offering readers actionable value. But, of course, nobody will benefit from the lead magnet if no one knows about it. The first step to getting results is knowing how to promote a white paper for your SaaS company.
White papers can be time-consuming to produce, so you need to make sure they don’t sit on a (virtual) shelf collecting dust. Here are 8 ways to promote your white paper effectively:
How to promote a white paper on your website
1. Blog posts:
As part of your overall content strategy, create blog posts that funnel readers to your white paper with strong calls to action.
2. Landing pages:
These webpages give people a preview of the value that your white paper will deliver.

3. Newsletter teasers:
Before you publish your content, start generating interest in your white paper by including a preview snippet in your email newsletter.
4. Email signature:
Instead of including a link to your website’s homepage, link directly to your white paper to drive your contacts there.

5. Scheduled posts:
Choose a few social networks to promote your white papers on. Create a series of posts to release gradually that highlight different points of interest in the material.
