(Stay consistent and make $$$.)

AI is definitely the hot topic these days, isn’t it?

It feels like everywhere you turn, there are videos, ads and articles promising to make you rich overnight using AI tools.

Just like you, I’ve been bombarded with this stuff — “Make easy money with AI!” “Become an AI guru in 5 steps! etc.”

It’s enough to make you wonder… is there any truth to it all?

Can people like YOU and ME really leverage these AI tools to make $$$?

Before making any false and surreal promise, let me tell you a fact:

AI can be a great tool, but it’s not a magic money machine.

Yes!

That’s a very simple and logical thing.

Don’t consider AI tools as a magic genie that just grants your wish and makes you a millionaire in one week or 10 days.

Everything requires strategic action, planning and consistency.

That’s the real secret sauce to make $$$.

Having said that I’d also like to state the fact that — AI has the potential to be a game-changer when it comes to boosting your earning potential.

And, in today’s post I’m going to tell you about a lucrative and simple side hustle that you can start now using AI to make your first $$$ online.

Excited to learn and earn?😊

Just follow along!

Step 1: Choosing the Platform

You’ve probably noticed the buzz around AI-generated art lately.

It’s everywhere!

Nowadays, AI can create images so lifelike, it’s hard to tell real from fake.

That’s why starting a ‘Stock Photography’ side hustle can prove to be a smart move.

I’ve also made more than 1000 € (and still counting) by this side hustle.

If you’re hearing this term for the first time —

Stock photography is a collection of ready-to-use images covering a wide range of topics and styles.

You can create and start selling your very own stock images right now, all with the help of an AI tool.

But, first you need to choose the right platforms.

There are tons of platforms like Freepik, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, etc. which you can choose to open your contributor account.

One of the best perks of collaborating with a renowned platform is — they’ve built in audience, which is actually a good thing for you.

You don’t need to struggle to find those eyeballs.

All you need to do is post content, optimize the SEO and be consistent.

I’m going to use Freepik for this post, since I’m a contributor on this platform.

Although Freepik provides a lot of creative resources like, Images, Icons, PSD, Mockups, etc.

The best part about this is — It allows you to sell AI generated art.

They know that AI is here to stay, so, why not embrace it!

And that’s why they’ve included a section of AI Images in their portfolio.

Visit Freepik.

Click on the AI Images option and you’ll see a lot of top-selling categories.

Explore the platform and choose your favorite category.

Once you’ve selected a category, now, it’s time to generate your AI Art.

Step 2 : Generating AI Art

For generating the AI Art, we’re going to use one of the best AI Image generators and that’s — Ideogram AI.

This is by far the best AI Image generator which is actually taking the internet by storm.

It can seamlessly integrate text into generated images.

So, if you want to generate things like logos, social media posts with text overlays, you’re free to do that too.

Let’s say you want to generate some fantasy images.

Before generating your image, take inspiration from the images already selling well on the Freepik platform.

Now, head over to Ideogram AI.

The interface is pretty simple and user-friendly.

You can use ChatGPT or Gemini to come up with the prompt idea or use PromptBase to find out more prompts.

Type in the prompt. Choose additional options to refine your prompts.

Wait for a few seconds and boom!

Here’re the results:

Click on the image you like.

Then navigate to the three dots menu and select ‘Download’.

Your file will be downloaded.

But, you need to upscale the image to get quality results.

Check this blog to know about amazing AI upscalers.

Step 3 : Rinse and Repeat the Process

Alright, so now that you’ve generated a bunch of those cool AI images, upscale them and get them uploaded onto the platform.

At first, don’t expect a flood of sales right away.

It takes time for people to notice your stuff.

Remember — consistency is key.

Keep adding to your portfolio regularly, and you’ll start seeing those sales roll in.

Make sure you keep an eye on what’s hot in the market and what your competitors are up to.

This way, you can stay competitive and offer something fresh and exciting.

Also, use social media platforms like Pinterest to reach more buyers.

Final Thoughts🎯

Try this AI side hustle, stay consistent and you’ll yourself see the results.

Remember consistency always pays off!
