- And so that is well over $300 a day just from this one account. So you can see that
there is a lot of money to be made with this art. Hey everyone and welcome back. Today, I'm gonna be sharing something that I am super excited about, and that is how you can
generate free AI art to earn money online. Yes, it's true. With AI image generators,
you can now create free, stunning pieces of artwork all
by just typing in some words. You don't have to draw or be an artist and paint a picture yourself and you don't have to spend
hundreds to thousands of dollars to hire artists to do it for you. Nope. All you've gotta do is
just type in some words. And best of all, you are
allowed to earn money from free AI generated artwork legally. Yes, as I will show you, it is 100% legal to
earn money from AI art. So this here is Dall-E 2. It is one of my favorite
AI generators for artwork and I will show you quickly how it works. You just come to the search bar and type in whatever you
want Dall-E to create. You also want to include
what type of image style or art style you want it to be in. And then Dall-E 2 will
generate four images for you to choose from, which is pretty cool. And something else that's pretty cool is that if you like one of those four images that Dall-E creates, you can then go in and create different
variations of that image so that you have multiple
versions of it to choose from. And you could even expand on
the artwork and make it bigger. So let's say for example that you generated an AI
image of a Corgi face, but you wanted to expand on the Corgi and make the picture even
bigger to show more of the dog. Well, you can use the expander tool to add to the picture
to make it even bigger. Now, when I first started using this, I had three thoughts. The first thought was, this is so powerful and it's gonna make a
bunch of people rich. I mean, seriously. I'm excited for me. There are so many ways
that I can use Dall-E to create artwork that I would've previously
had to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on to hire an artist to create for me. And I'll show you
examples of that shortly. And my second thought when I saw this was who owns the legal right to this artwork? Is it me? Is it Dall-E? I mean, seriously, this is a really powerful tool, but it's kind of useless if
I try to sell the artwork and then Dall-E just
slaps me with a lawsuit. And so I checked out the terms of service, and in it, they give away full rights
including commercial rights to the user who generated the art, but they do retain the
rights to use the artwork when necessary to keep
running their services, which makes sense and is very fair. And my third thought was,
how expensive is this? This technology is crazy powerful so surely it's gotta be
super expensive, right? Nope. You can use it for free. When you first register, you'll be able to get
50 free image searches, and then each month, you will get an additional 15 for free. And I also tested it out by registering for multiple free accounts so that you could get
multiple free image searches each month. And Dall-E didn't stop me and I also couldn't
find anything against it in their terms of service either. So in short, it is incredibly powerful, it is legal, and it is 100% free. But is it actually
useful for earning money? The answer is yes. So to show you how, I'm gonna show you two different examples of people selling artwork on Etsy and earning money from it. And then I'll show you how we can use Dall-E to create similar or even arguably even better images. So let's get started with this store here. This store is selling its
art as a digital file. And so when you buy one of these posters, you aren't getting an actual real poster. Instead, you will be emailed an image file which you can then print out and then create your own poster at home. Digital products like this
are really popular on Etsy and they sell really well. If we put the store into the
Etsy research app Allure, you'll see that it estimates that the store has made
around 84,000 euros, which is over 87,000 US dollars. And because these are digital downloads rather than physical products, most of the money that a
digital store makes is profit. And something else that Allure can show us which is really helpful when you're doing
product research for Etsy is it can show you the top
selling products for a store. And if you take a look at this
store's top selling products, you'll notice a pattern real quick. And that is that a lot of the
posters are quite similar. They feature a black and
white photo of an animal in a hand drawn style wearing some sort of colorful accessory such as colorful glasses
on a white background. And actually, this is not the only store selling black and white
pictures of animals on a white background. This is quite a popular image
style for posters on Etsy. Lots of stores are
selling variations of this because it's a really
popular style with customers. They like to print them out and then put them up as
posters in their nurseries. So with this all in mind, you can probably guess
what I'm about to do next. Yep. We're gonna see if we can
create similar pictures using Dall-E. So let's take the second best
selling product in that store. It's the poster of a
curious cat wearing glasses. Now, the question is, if we'd come up with this
poster idea ourselves, could we have created a
similar image using Dall-E? Well, let's see. I went back over to Dall-E and I did a search for a detailed pencil black and white drawing of a curious cat wearing light pink colored
glasses on a white background. And the results I got were pretty awesome. Out of these four, there was one that I liked the most, so I went ahead and I
generated more versions of it just to give myself more options. And you know what? These images, they are just as good as the images that you see selling on posters on Etsy. Although you may have
noticed something earlier. When I was looking at other black and white animal posters
earlier in the video, some of those posters used photos, not drawings of animals. Well, Dall-E can create photos too. Just come to Dall-E and do a search for whatever
you want a photo of. So I wanted to have a photo of a lion head that was black and white. Dall-E will create that photo for you. So that's one way that you
can use Dall-E to make money. You can generate pictures
for digital products. But another way is that you can use Dall-E to create pictures which you then print onto
automated physical products so that you can earn
even more money per sale. For example, let's take
this Etsy store here. They sell historical public domain artwork which they print onto mind onto
posters for their customers. Well, in the past month, Allure estimates that this store
has made over 12,000 euros. And so that is well over $300 a day just from this one account. So you can see that
there is a lot of money to be made with this art. But while monthly revenue is interesting, I do think it's good to go and take a look at the lifetime revenue of a store because of the fact that a lot of stores understandably make a big chunk of money during the Christmas period. And so if we switch over to that, you'll see that Allure estimates that this store has made
over 1.1 million euros, which is pretty crazy. But which of their historical
public domain art pieces are making them the most money? Well, if we go ahead and take a look at their
top selling products, you will see that there is
one particular art genre that is dominating and that is a Japanese style of Ukiyo-e. Ukiyo-e, which I can barely pronounce in my New Zealand accent, I am sorry that I cannot
pronounce that correctly, is a Japanese art style that was popular during the
17th and 19th centuries. Well, over time, this art style became less popular and artists started painting
in other styles of genres and so there's not a lot of
people that paint in it today, which is why historical
art pieces in this genre still sell really well today. And so you take, for example,
the frog art painting that the store of styling in the style, Allure estimates that in the past month, it's made the store over 2,000 euros. And take another example,
Fuji from Tago Bay, which again, I'm really sorry for my
New Zealand pronunciation, Allure estimates that it's
made the store over 500 euros from prints sold of this art piece. And this is just one example
of a store doing this. Lots of Etsy stores are making money from selling paintings in this style. The problem, of course, is that this art style
has fallen out of favor, there's not a lot of new paintings. And so most of the
paintings that people sell have to be old ones. So you see an opportunity here, right? While it would be very
expensive for us to hire artists to create pictures in this rare art genre, it is completely and utterly free for us to ask Dall-E to do it. And Dall-E has been trained by scanning the very best
of the historical masters in this genre. And so that is why it is able to create these absolutely
stunning images within seconds. And this opens up so many
opportunities to cross niche. Think about it. Previously, if you wanted to
sell posters in this genre, you had to all sell the
exact same old paintings that all featured the
exact same imagery of Japan from the 17th to 19th century. But now, you can ask Dali
to use this art style to create a picture of a cup of coffee. And so now, you can sell
your coffee themed poster to baristas that love Japanese imagery. And to do that, of course, you can just register for
a free print on demand app like Printify. Printify connects to
major eCommerce platforms like Etsy and Shopify. Just go through their
catalog of blank items and choose which one
that you'd like to sell such as a poster and then upload your Dall-E
generated art onto it. And now you can list it for sale. Each time somebody comes and buys it, Printify will see the order and get their print shop to
print your art onto the poster, package it up, and ship it out to the customer while you get to keep
the difference as profit. As you can see, if you go the print on demand
route to sell products online, you could earn more profit per sale compared to digital products. And if you're interested in setting up your own free Etsy print on demand store, I have a YouTube tutorial
that shows you how to do that. And I also have a free ebook which shares how I and
others use print on demand to earn passive income every day. And if you'd like to get a copy of my free $10,000 a month ebook for yourself, I'll have a link to it
in the video description. Plus, I've also added in a video tutorial on how to use Dall-E to generate art inside my print on demand video course, The Ecomm Clubhouse. If you're interested in seeing
if that's right for you, I'll have a link to it
in the video description. There is, however, one limitation that you need to know before you get started with this and that is image resolution. When you generate and download
a picture from Dall-E, the image is quite small. However, for some of you watching, that might not even be a problem. If you're only planning
on selling your products onto small products like laptop stickers, then I've tested it out, and on Printify, you can upload a Dall-E
generated artwork piece and then print it onto
small products like this at a high resolution 300 dpi. If you want to sell your products onto bigger products though like posters, it's not big enough. Luckily though, you
can fix this limitation with surprise surprise AI. Yes, AI image enlarger
is a website that uses AI to increase the resolution
and size of a picture without losing image quality. It fills in the extra pixels
With its smart technology. You just create an account and then drop in a picture
that Dall-E created for you and it will increase the size of it and then you can download it. Now, I've tried out both of their plans. I've tried the free plan and
I've tried the paid plan. Now, the free plan does have
an image limit per month, although again, I did try registering with
multiple free accounts and I didn't get stopped and I also couldn't
see anything against it in the terms and conditions. And the free plan increases
your image size by up to 400%. Well, that was enough for me to be able to sell it onto
midsize print on demand products while retaining high
resolution such as notebooks. And the paid $9 a month plan lets you increase image
sizes by up to 800%. And by using that, I was
able to create images in high enough resolution
to be able to print in 300 dpi onto posters. Yay. Did my video inspire you? If it did, please subscribe and click that little notification bell so that you don't miss
