Friends who pay attention to AI should know that 2023 is known as the first year of AI development on the Internet.
In this year, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly around the world. Various high-quality AI tools are constantly emerging on the market, and various large models are constantly iterating. All technology companies are exploring AI and making AI They are racing to be the first to implement technology. Whether people think about it or not, AI has been integrated into every aspect of our work and life unconsciously but with great fanfare. Maybe at a certain moment of a certain day, you took a look at something that you have seen countless times in the past, and suddenly realized that this thing has been made by AI, such as Douyin AI anchor, Taobao AI product delivery video, etc. There will only be more and more moments like this.
AI has had such a huge impact on our society and industry. It is almost impossible for ordinary people not to worry that one day their jobs and positions will be replaced by AI. Under such circumstances, we can still sit in our current positions and do nothing. Not ready? Of course not .
AI has developed to this day. As the tools become more and more convenient to operate, the barriers to entry are getting lower and lower. It is no longer just something that only technology giants can start to study in the past. Now it is us ordinary people who learn AI and use AI to build side businesses. The best opportunity to make money .
However, of course, not everyone can simply use AI to make money . You also need to know which channels and methods are easier to make more money , instead of blindly choosing a direction and going straight to trial and error. AI The cost of making money is indeed very low, but you must also consider the cost of your own energy and time. Most people first choose the wrong direction, and then find that it is difficult to make big money easily in this direction, so they mistakenly think that AI Making money is a false urban fairy tale, and then giving up easily and shrinking back into his safe zone is absolutely wrong. We must not do this when doing side jobs.
So today this article will share some of the huge potential money-making channels that the author summarized after carefully examining the market.
This track has two categories, one is for illustrations, cover images, and material images, and the other is for stickers and emoticons.
The idea of making money through this channel is actually very simple, that is, using AI tools to generate a large number of high-quality pictures in a short time, and then selling them to picture material websites. But how to generate pictures, what kind of pictures to generate, who to sell the pictures to, and how to sell them are new questions. Let’s understand them one by one below.
At present, most platforms that accept AIGC images generally only accept the generated works of Midjourney, and some also accept Wenxin Yige. You can learn about the operation of these two tools.
Midjourney registration is a little complicated, but here is a detailed registration tutorial that may help you: Midjourney registration tutorial, super powerful AI tools help you make money easily!
Four popular image types are recommended below, but you can also decide what kind of image to generate based on the search hotspots of the photo gallery website .
① Popular solar terms . When a solar term is approaching, there will definitely be a large number of users who need relevant illustrations and material pictures for content. Such pictures will generally sell well at this time.
② Exquisite photography . If you want to sell this kind of picture well, it must meet the two characteristics of high quality and not easy to be photographed. If both points are met, it can often sell for an unexpectedly high price.
③Abstract background pictures . The demand for this type of pictures in the market is also quite large. It has many application scenarios and is quite easy to sell.
④Illustrations . These types of pictures are often used as material pictures. They have a wide range of application scenarios and are easy to produce using AI. High-quality illustrations are also easy to sell.
The three mainstream platforms in China are: Visual China , Tuchong Creative , and Zukuu Hailuo . As long as you sign a contract with them, you can sell the pictures you generate. As long as the volume of pictures is large, you can make thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in profit every month.
Regarding the selection of AI image quality enhancement P-picture tools, you can refer to these two collections:
This direction is similar to the first one, which is selling AI pictures for money, but the content generated and the sales channels will be somewhat different. Let’s talk about the process in detail below
Paper products such as stickers and postcards are products that are close to huge profits . The cost of a sticker or postcard may only be a few cents at most, but a single sheet can be sold for a few yuan or even a dozen yuan. Use AI pictures to self-print. There is absolutely no need to spend too much upfront cost, and it is very easy to recover the capital and make money.
Emoticons are currently the most underestimated way to make money. Mainly, this method is also very simple and is closer to ordinary people's lives. As long as you regularly surf the Internet, you can definitely use AI to realize monetization, and the rate of return is much higher than imagined.
The pet industry is currently recognized as one of the industries with the most potential in the future. There are a large number of pet owners who are willing to pay for various aspects of their pets. The price and sales volume shown on the website (Printy Pet) above are the best. It proves that what is introduced here is one of the aspects they are willing to pay for - using AI to customize pet peripherals. This kind of peripherals may include daily necessities, artworks, electronic products, etc., but it is not the traditional form of printing pictures directly, but using AI Stylize real pet pictures and then print these pictures onto various items. According to surveys, people are often more willing to pay for cute pet images.
So how do we monetize this channel? Some examples are listed below.
Recommended AI mapping and conversion tools:
Making money through self-media is still a mainstream channel for making money with AI. You don’t need to be scared when you see self-media, and then immediately worry about how much professional knowledge is needed to make videos and operations, and whether you can do it yourself. The current AI tools can already help us solve most of the problems. The rest just needs to be understood by us. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.
However, the most important thing about making a video account is actually topic selection. Not all topic selection content is suitable for ordinary people. For example, selling courses is a direction that everyone is familiar with. It is impossible for people without a knowledge base to develop in this direction, so We need to filter out the topics for making a video account. Below I would like to recommend some topic selection directions and AI tools that are currently profitable.
This kind of video content generation is relatively simple and suitable for ordinary people. The video content itself is also relatively visually stimulating. Coupled with some popular or emotional copywriting, it is easier to gain fans.
There are two production ideas:
Film and television commentary videos are one of the most popular short video types on Douyin, Tiktok, Bilibili, Kuaishou and other platforms. This kind of account has gained followers very quickly. However, with the help of AI tools, it was originally more complicated. The content is now very suitable for ordinary people.
The following is the specific process:
The audience of this kind of video account is quite broad, and the content is often about current hot events. The content produced by these events will bring its own traffic and increase the number of followers at a fast rate. It is also a very good content selection direction. Of course, the categories of real-time hot spots are not limited to social news. You can also choose other subdivisions, such as sports events, entertainment stars, etc., which will have better traffic effects.
(PS. Although we are making oral videos, we don’t need real people to record them. We can use AI virtual people to directly produce videos, so there is no need to worry.)
The following introduces the production process.
AI technology continues to develop, and the channels for making money with AI are also expanding. There are certainly more than three methods listed by the author for monetization that are currently feasible, but they are indeed the three easiest to operate, easy to make money from, and have the greatest market potential for using AI to make money. The cost of most of these directions is only the monthly membership fee of AI tools and the cost of learning time that is so weak that it can be ignored. Therefore, in terms of its low-cost investment basis, it is still very suitable for ordinary people to use their spare time to build a side business. This not only ensures that you will not be eliminated by the times, but also helps you get an extra income. Why not Why?
