Found this interesting article on learning from other Indie Authors

Great advice. I take it one step further, though. I BUY the book from the author, read it, and then contact the author if I enjoyed it. You’d be surprised what kind of wonderful responses you get when you offer sincere support to an author. I’ve made many new friends this way and cross-promote with many of them. No, not everyone answers. However, when you knock gently on many different doors — some open and the hospitality and warmth you find in some of those India authors is amazing. So, study them — yes. But don’t be afraid to reach out and say hello.
