  > She has sold more than one million books, by her own estimate, in digital, print and audio formats, earning more than $1 million so far this year.

  > The South African now heads an operation that has trained several hundred people in her method and is preparing to launch software for AI authors called Authorythm.

So basically she is yet another grifter making money selling her method for "success"
