Notes in the Margin

This is a podcast about one woman's mission to help entrepreneurs and business owners write and self-publish better business books. Each week, we tackle your writing excuses (because they're our excuses too) – and help you beat the Blank Page Of Doom so you can write a book that makes a real difference. Also contains adulting fails, the adventures of the TinySheeps, and a bundle of fantastic interviews with people far smarter than us. Find us at moxiebooks.co.uk.

Vicky lisps her way through this week's podcast. No, she's not drunk – yet… If you want to know why she's suddenly developed a speech impediment, tune in. You'll hear Joe's top tip about fitting skirting boards, and why that's relevant to your business. And, of course, you'll discover if you actually do need beta testers for your book, new product, or new service – and how to get the best out of them.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:50] Vicky has braces!!!

[5:00] Vicky gives a quick trapeze update! 

[8:25] Vicky did not get beta readers on her first book, and her book would have been much better if she did. 

[10:20] You don’t always need to pay your beta readers.

[12:40] How do you find your beta testers?

[18:20] Vicky doesn’t expect everyone she asks to become a beta reader.

[19:25] Who should you include in your beta list?

[24:15] When Vicky sent out the beta version of her book, she sent it out in a wirebound format so that people could easily make corrections. 

[24:45] Send a thank you letter to your beta readers! 

[27:30] Next week, Vicky will dive into the questions she asked her beta readers!
