Now with the passage of time, the world of art is changing.

There was a time when I used to use Photoshop and Inkscape to make small illustrations. I would take one day to make simple illustrations. I was a beginner and passed out from YouTube University, so had not much hands on experience with creating arts. Also, art was just a way of giving my self a break from my other business.

Then came a time when I started using Canva and Depositphotos. Agree that a lot of things are involved. But loved the idea of making images from already created ones. Of course, you need a commercial license for that. There were marketplaces where I used to buy them in bundles.

And now it’s AI. You pretty much know what’s going on in the AI world right now. everything is created in a bang!

Can I sell AI-generated Art?

I see many people asking me this question. And all I can say is that “Yes!”

I sell AI art myself so definitely you can sell them too. It’s now a very vast market and thousands of people are taking advantage of this change. What’s stopping us from doing this?

Yes there are some rules and regulations too in case you wanna sell this work. I will discuss this in the article.

I very much like to explore various desgins and patterns created by AI that I can sell on various platforms. Some which are very popular and I love a lot are —

  1. Realism
  2. Abstract Art
  3. Expersionism

Is it Legal to Sell AI-generated Art?

No doubt that you can sell these art but there are some things you need to consider before selling them. I have discussed them below —

  1. Fair use of artwork needs to be considered beforehand. I made sure to change the design a little bit so that it doesn’t resemble the original art.
  2. I see some platforms put restrictions. So before uploading I read them carefully. You need to do this too.
  3. Do not use the artwork as it is. Change it a little. All this is possible by making and using a proper prompt. I will discuss this soon.

In short, you can use it but make sure you follow the rules and regulations of the platforms you are going to use.

How to Sell AI Art?

Now time to see how I sell my artwork. Just follow these simple steps in order to do so.

  1. The first step is to see which platform lets you upload AI-generated content. Make a list if possible.
  2. Register on the platforms. I will advise you to use the same email ID everywhere. Will be helpful in the future.
  3. I always and always make sure to read the terms and conditions of the website. This was not what I used to do before. But for AI art, this is a crucial step.
  4. Upload a few designs at a time. Not to upload in bulk. I upload only 1–3 designs per day and wait until it gets approved.
  5. If pricing yourself then price it lower first. because this is not something you have created. You will make more money by selling artwork in bulk. Remember this.
  6. Not only sell AI art on platforms but I would suggest offering services as well. People really don’t want to learn promptly and they are always looking for someone who can do this for them.

whatever you do, make sure you state this as “AI art” before proceeding further.
