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.

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.

The crisis hair reaches breaking point, and Vicky and Joe ponder when this lockdown will ever end. Then they talk about actual important things. And finally, onto writing excuses: why it doesn't matter if it's all already on the internet for free because books are special, peeps!

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:40] Joe is still reading Wheel of Time. 

[3:50] Project Dingle update.

[9:45] Googling things can sometimes overwhelm you.

[11:45] Sometimes the information on the internet is so sporadic that you have to go to multiple different sources to get the full picture.

[13:45] How do you even know if the author of the article actually knows what they’re talking about? 

[15:10] What’s the difference between buying a random book on the internet vs. a random article? 

[17:30] Your book is your chance for your audience to get to know you. 

[19:15] People read books everywhere! 

[21:10] Articles are fleeting whereas books last forever.
