In this article I will explain step by step how to create and sell AI generated images online.
By putting into practice what you will learn, you can earn some extra money without having to invest anything other than your time, because all 3 websites, that I will present and that you will have to use, are FREE.
How to create and sell AI generated images online on Adobe Stock
In order to create and sell AI generated images online you´ll need the following websites:
1 — Adobe Stock Contributor: which is the website where you will sell your Ai generated images;
2 — LimeWire: which is the platform where you will create your ai images;
3 — Image Resizer: which is the website where your ai generated images will be resized before being uploaded to your Adobe Stock Contributor account.
Adobe Stock Contributor
So let’s start with Adobe Stock Contributor. To create your seller account, CLICK HERE, and then at destination page, click “Join now” button and follow the steps indicated until you complete your account creation.
LimeWire
Step number 2 is to create your LimeWire account and to do so CLICK HERE, and then at destination page, click “Sign In” button and enter your email to begin account creation procedure. Alternatively, you can use your Google, Discord or Facebook account.
After completing the creation of your account you will have access to “LimeWire AI Studio” and to start using it click on “Try AI Studio”, and make sure the “Image” option is selected. Then enter the description of an image you want to create.
For exemplary purposes, and as I show in the video below, I have used the following prompt: “A modern office with a large conference table in the foreground, the table is surrounded by comfortable chairs and there is a large flat-screen tv on the wall”
Then, by clicking “Generate” button an image was created with Artificial Intelligence.
LimeWire allows you to choose between several AI models to create your images, including BlueWillow, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and Google Imagen.
And, for each of the AI models, you can also choose image dimensions, Prompt Guidance (where higher values will make your image closer to your prompt), image quality and number of images you want to generate.
A very important piece of information that you have to take into account is that the free version of LimeWire only offers 10 free credits per day and that’s why I recommend that you usebasic settings, because this way you will spend the minimum amount of credits for each image generated.
For example, creating an image using BlueWillow with basic settings will cost you just 0.99 credits, while choosing high quality image will cost 1.5 credits.
The AI model that I normally use to create my images is BlueWillow and I recommend that you also use that one because the latest versions of the other ai models will cost you more credits per each generated image.
As I mentioned, you will get 10 free credits per day and if you use BlueWillow with basic settings you will spend around 1 credit for each image generated, which means that you will be able to create 10 free images per day.
After generating an image you can enlarge it to see if it´s what you really intended to create and if there are no gross errors – yes, because sometimes Artificial Intelligence creates aberrant images which won´t be accepted for sale on Adobe Stock, so it is not worth wasting your time with those images.
If you decide image is ok, you can download it to your computer by clicking “Download”.
And before uploading the image to your Adobe Stock account you will have to resize it because Adobe Stock only accepts images with at least 4MB.
In the video posted above, I also show how to resize ai generated images on the website: https://imageresizer.com — and how to upload them to your Adobe Stock Contributor account.
At the moment of writing this article, I have 8 images “pending review” in my Adobe Stock Contributor account and moderation could take up to 8 weeks.
If the images are rejected they will be moved to “Not accepted” section and I have had dozens of images that were not accepted due to quality issues.
On the other hand, images that are accepted will be added to your PANEL and will be part of your portfolio.
I have a total of 113 images in my portfolio, which have generated $14.48 in sales, so far.
Obviously it’s not big revenue, but the advantage is that from now on, even if I don’t upload more images, those 113 images will remain for sale on Adobe Stock and will continue to generate passive income.
But my goal is to keep investing some of my time creating and uploading more ai generated images to increase and diversify my portfolio, in order to also increase my earnings potential.
