The answer to this question is not always simple, however if you want a definite answer, look at the tips below:

If you wanted to end on a perfect cadence, you should modulate to a G major chord and then move down to the tonic chord (C major).

If you wanted to end on a plagal cadence, you would modulate up a fourth to a F major chord and then resolve on a C major chord.

If you wanted to end on am imperfect cadence you simply modulate to the dominant chord (in this case G major) and end there.

Finally, if you wanted to end on an interrupted cadence you modulate from the tonic chord (C major) to the relative minor, an A minor chord.

So in most cases a song which began in C major should end in the tonic key (C major), however a song in C major can end in G major (an imperfect cadence) or in A minor (an interrupted cadence).

Hope this helps.

What are some tips for writing songs?

Well first of all, you need a concept for the song. Alot of songs nowadays are based off of some crush or break up. So, base it off of something like that. Then, just start writing away. You can look at other song lyrics to get a basic idea of how long it should be. Make sure you have a chorus though! Find a catchy melody, and meaningful lyrics. With the melody, you need the right set of chords that fits with the melody. With the lyrics, try and match the melody and lyrics, for instance when the word is "low" make the melody go down. This helps the listener to hear the lyrics well.
