this painting wasn't made by a person
neither is this one or any of these they
were made by typing a prompt to an AI
and clicking a button
so for the next 30 days I'm gonna try to
sell a ir and see how much money I can
make with my masterpieces big thanks to
HubSpot for sponsoring this video the
first step is to get access to an air
generator there are a bunch like Dolly 2
mid-journey and night Cafe let's try to
generate a gangster baby oil painting
that baby is looking fresh now an issue
with these generators is that they cost
money to use they have free trials but
to generate a lot of images you have to
buy credits or a monthly subscription if
we're aiming to turn out thousands of
Mona Lisas a day we're going to want to
cut down on costs so after some digging
I found stable diffusion it is an open
source ARR generator that you can
install on your own computer and lets
you generate unlimited images for free
it's going to take 30 minutes what other
generators could do this in a couple of
seconds a problem with stable diffusion
is that it was designed to run on
computers with an Nvidia GPU which I
don't have I got hit up my gaming
buddies I'm at my friend Daniel's place
right now and he has an insane gaming PC
with an Nvidia GPU let's generate some
air
bananas and space baby we got Elon Musk
there too banana spaceship that is
strange that only took 30 seconds pretty
good you're down to sell some air art
let's do it man let's do it so here's
the business plan we're thinking of
selling custom air on Fiverr it is a
Marketplace for freelance services like
custom art to get orders we need to
Niche down on a target market and figure
out what type of art we'll be selling
I've just made five gigs on Fiverr
here's what we're offering City and
Landscape concept art dog portraits
Dungeons and Dragons character and
Landscape art heavy metal and rock album
covers anime and furry character art
we're trying everything for each gig
I've added a compelling title and
eye-catching set of images professional
description and competitive pricing all
gigs have slightly different offerings
but I've started them all low at five
bucks for the basic package 10 for the
standard and fifteen dollars for the
premium me and Daniel experimented for
hours from anime to digital to
Renaissance we've got all art styles
under control okay maybe not that one to
create our business plan we followed
this handy one page template that covers
all the central Parts you need to know
to start a business I find that writing
A business plan is always helpful to
keep things organized and focused if
you're already thinking about starting
your own AI art hustle or any business
in general I've put the template in the
description below for you to download
for free it also comes with a more
detailed template that breaks things
down even further even if you aren't
starting a business right now download
it for the future because you never know
when you may need it these templates
were made by HubSpot which is today's
video sponsor big shout out to them for
providing these free resources it's been
over a week since we first started our
gigs here's an update we can see that
Dungeons and Dragons art and anime art
are the two most popular gigs whereas
Pet Portraits and concept art aren't
doing too hot metal album covers are
doing all right at the end of the day we
have zero orders it's not looking good I
don't even think we've gotten a single
message from anyone yet
foreign
folder hello I will go straight to the
chase me and my band we are releasing an
album genre metal oh my God he wants a
metal album cover this was sent a week
ago how did I miss it I wrote hi there
sorry for the late response I'm happy to
work on this this could be our first
customer I I need to save this hopefully
he hasn't bought another album cover
already hello too late now sorry oh my
God
why was this even marked as spam we just
missed our chance to make our first sale
we're gonna have to come back from this
we're gonna come back from this so as we
saw there are people that are interested
in AI art it's just that fiber can be a
bit slow in bringing them in especially
since we're a new seller with no 5 Star
reviews instead of just having the
customer come to us I think we need to
go to them earlier we saw that Dungeons
and Dragons art was one of our most
popular gigs I've searched and found a
bunch of Dungeons and Dragons Facebook
groups to promote it seems like one way
to promote yourself is to comment on
posts from people looking for an artist
these posts have so many comments I
think I'm gonna just post a
self-promotion I don't even know if
anyone's going to engage with this whoa
it's getting some likes is my art that
good people are commenting too AI art
isn't art it's a Franken build made by
stealing from real artists AI does learn
from data sets of artwork out there but
it's not like it's straight up copying
and pasting and making a collage out of
those artworks it's more like how a
human artist would take inspiration from
a piece of art and then use some
elements from it to create their own
would you say taking inspiration is
stealing isn't this an artist group and
not an AI scammer group you're a loser
clown you're making us real artists
disgusted it's rather disgusting that
you even dare to do this post you're
just a greedy oh my God I did not expect
AI to be such a Hot Topic this is the
funniest one dude straight up
impersonating a YouTuber and literally
went out of his way to buy his check
mark status he doesn't even believe that
the post is going crazy they are hating
on me mod admin could an official group
rule on AI art be considered oh
the post is gone they deleted the post
well this plan backfired I just got a
private message from somebody in the
group hey man saw all the hate you were
getting from that Facebook art group F
the luddites keep it up and know that
you're on the right side of History man
the exact same situation happened with
the lace making industry a century ago
all these idiots are just repeating the
past I completely understand why some
artists in that group are so angry and
frustrated they're just scared of losing
their jobs to Tech I just see it as
another tool in an artist's Arsenal just
like Photoshop like a drawing tablet
when those came out I'm pretty sure the
artist Community was freaking out you
either adapt to it or you get left
behind after being kicked off of
Facebook I felt pretty hopeless I
continued to not get any messages so I
eventually decided to change up my gigs
I removed Pet Portraits and added three
new gigs anime Landscapes anime album
covers and emo punk album covers I
needed a miracle I just got a message on
Fiverr hey just wanted to know if you're
willing to listen to a song of mine and
give it a cover art that represents the
vibe let's listen to it
okay the song is a relation towards how
my love feels and how cocaine feels I'm
envisioning dark and Moody colors I can
see a room or space that's a bit torn
down maybe a silhouette of a person okay
great let's do it oh you made the
purchase an HD front cover with text for
15 bucks yo yo Daniel we got our first
order
Daniel shared a screen with me and we
started generating art we thought it
would only take a couple of minutes to
find the right prompt and image it ended
up taking two hours it took a lot of
trial and error but we eventually did it
presenting diamond in the rough the
cover features a man or rather the
spirit of a man confined in a torn down
home the scene captures the pain
heartbreak and mood of the song and
lyrics the visual is a representation of
cocaine the pristine light outside the
windows showed the outer beauty of
cocaine but inside its White Walls is
actually suffering and distress who says
AAR can't have meaning oh he just
accepted the order we did it guys we
made our first sale
I can't believe this and that's when the
orders start coming in we got another
order this one is for an anime art album
cover
we just got two orders in one day one
emo punk album cover
and one Dungeons and Dragons character
Arc
we got another order for dungeons
Dragons character Arc they're looking
for a dwelt half elf half dwarf I didn't
know those were a thing let's do it
order by order we quickly learned that
selling aren't involved much more than
just clicking a button we got our third
emo punk album cover order customers
have specific requests so you still need
art knowledge to craft descriptive
prompts pick good images and edit them
in Photoshop if necessary we just got
our fourth emo punk album cover order
the time we spent on each order was
definitely worth more than five to
Fifteen dollars that they paid us
nonetheless it was all pretty fun it's
day 30 and the end of the challenge
looking back it was pretty Rocky in the
first few weeks but I think we pulled
through at the end in total we received
eight orders from seven customers being
that we started a brand new Fiverr
account with no reviews and did no
advertising at all other than the failed
Facebook attempt I'm actually pretty
happy with the results minus all the
fiverr's fees we made eighty dollars
comment below if you want me and Daniel
to invest in our profits into starting
an AI art print on demand business if
