The End is Just the Beginning

Your masterpiece is complete and you are at the end of your book. What’s next? A simple “The End” will do but you can always do more as an indie author.

Readers like to connect with the author and the author should allow this. Add a personal message or a biography about yourself. You can also add social media info or other ways the reader can get informed of your works.

Another great marketing technique is to offer reading samples from some of your other books. It’s one way to tease your reader and get them hooked.
