In the edition, Sammy the Squirrel, crudely rendered also using AI, learns from his forest friends about saving money after happening upon a gold coin. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to inspire him to compose other books using the software. There were over 200 e-books in Amazon’s Kindle store as of mid-February listing ChatGPT as an author or co-author, including "How to Write and Create Content Using ChatGPT," "The Power of Homework" and poetry collection "Echoes of the Universe." There is even a new sub-genre on Amazon: Books about using ChatGPT, written entirely by ChatGPT. In the video, White says anyone with the wherewithal and time could create 300 such books a year, all using AI.
Dawson shared his tips for authors to get their books in front of readers and make a living. Hire a professional designer to produce your book cover. Writing a 10,000-word novel is a different skill compared to writing a 150-word blurb, Dawson said.

Mark Dawson started publishing on Kindle Direct Publishing after his first books didn't sell well. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Mark Dawson, 49, an author from Salisbury, England, about publishing via Kindle Direct Publishing. My first two books didn't sell.

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.
