But then a member of the Facebook group LitRPG Books posted a review to the group and tagged Krout.
Group members took an interest in the book, and he made $5,000 in book sales in the month after it was published.
So those earnings from the book sales got his full attention.
By the end of 2017, he'd made more than $82,000 on Amazon book sales alone, plus more income from audio-book sales and non-Amazon revenue streams such as Patreon.
AdvertisementTo keep that interaction going over Facebook, Krout joined other Facebook groups beyond the LitRPG group.
