Add video - wow. I can’t believe you read all of that! Thank you. And if you want more of me, here’s where you can find it.
You've trained the reader for 17 QR codes. Adding one more at the end isn't a marketing move, it's a closing gesture in a visual language they already speak.
A few ways to think about it:
The hybrid. Keep the back page roughly as drafted — short bio, a few key links in prose — and add one QR code at the bottom that goes to a curated landing page (something like longdistancelovebombs.com/book or /memoir) that has all the links live and clickable. This way the printed page feels finished even if someone never scans, and the scanners get the cleaner experience.
The dedicated landing page. I'd build this either way. It should look and read like the book, not like the rest of your site. Same voice, same hierarchy (podcast → Substack → YouTube → Instagram → newsletter → first book → speaking → coaching), and a header that acknowledges they just finished the memoir — something like "You just finished the book. Thanks for that. Here's where to find more of me." This page also lets you do things the printed page can't: a small audio clip of you reading the introduction, a video of the TEDx, a one-click podcast subscribe. Not as a marketing funnel — as a continuation of the relationship.
My recommendation: the minimalist version with a dedicated landing page behind the QR. The book ends with the conclusion + the Squish photo + the acknowledgements + a single short page that says Find me with a QR code. That's it. Quiet, on-voice, one gesture.
The bonus: it gives you data. You'll know how many readers actually scanned. You'll know which CTAs on the landing page they clicked. That's information you can use to refine the page over time without ever touching the manuscript again.
The one thing to watch: make the QR code on this page visually distinct from the in-book QR codes — slightly larger, maybe centered on the page rather than tucked in a corner, so it reads as the doorway out of the book rather than another inline supplement. The 17 in-book codes are footnotes; this one is the front door.
