Place Links to Your Social Media Pages at the Back of the eBook Place the link to your social media pages at the back of your eBook. This way, readers can find you on social platforms after they’ve finished reading your eBook. We recommend that you don’t add any self-promotion at the start of your book. This is because readers are most likely going to skip it and begin reading the book. Readers will also be interested in you as an author after they’ve read and liked your work. Include an “Other Books by This Author” Section at the End of the eBook If you have other books published on the Kindle Store, including an “Other Books by This Author” Section at the end of the book. Add hyperlinks to the titles of the books so that readers can find your work easily. People aren’t going to know what you’ve published unless you tell them. Don’t waste any opportunity to promote your work. Adding this section will increase the chances of people purchasing what you’ve written. Consequently, you will make more money from your eBooks.
How Can You Use Other’s Work as Inspiration? Almost every artist can identify someone as their inspiration. Inspiration is important because it gives you the drive to be better, and it’s one way to learn what to do to become a better artist. These two reasons are why we greatly encourage you to take inspiration from other writers out there. Take a look at what they’ve published and what they did to become successful writers. Most of them started where you are right now, so don’t feel that you are any less than anyone. Study their book descriptions to see what they have included in them, the style of their book covers, and the length of their books. Here are some detailed instructions on what you should look at when you’re studying other people’s work. How Should You Use Existing Book Descriptions to Write Yours? Let’s make things clear before we move forward – we are not asking you to plagiarize other authors’ work. Instead, we are advising you to take inspiration from other people’s work. Look at a good book description and analyze what makes it interesting. Copy the entire book description onto a notepad or Microsoft Word document. This will make it easier for you to separate or highlight certain sentences. 111
