- ChatGPT and MidJoureny are still breaking the internet, so I figured I'd share my thoughts on how we could use these AI tools to make money using a recent Fiverr integration.
Enjoy!

8:36 Opening My Own Gig
I used Midjourney back in summer of '22, didn't know of the potential of it this way for starting an Etsy shop. Now I'm gonna get started, thanks for making this amazing video.
Alek, appreciate your videos. Educational and motivating. Thank you
I wish RUclipsrs would focus less on what OTHER people are making and more on the how! Over half of this video is simply talking about 'potential'. Too many factors go into showing other people's potential income. PLUS you don't mention how much Fiverr is taking out, in terms of percentage, if the Fiverrs designer already has a base following, or how long it takes to actually become a Level 2 Seller. Please take these things into consideration for future videos. Thanks in advance for taking constructive criticism!!
Glad you call out this show of a bullshit videos about people are getting rich, generate money for yourself.
Exactly! Im trying to do just that. Feel free to tell me what content you want to see and I will make a tutorial on that:)
Do you really need a disclaimer it takes time, effort and money to become successful?
RUclipss are desperate for content, they post about anything nowadays
@@VitaliiThe have you tried any of the things the RUclipsrs are saying ?
And What happened with the weekly update on that 100k etsy challenge?
What challenge?
Right? We haven't seen an update in a while.
I am also curious
Thanks for the info. Definitely provided some ideas.
Great video Alek
This is fantastic! I guess its never too late to live your passion! Im here for the journey and of course to make some money. Thank you!
Well said!
Should I try ?
Do you use Final Cut? What plugins do you use in editing? Thanks for the content!
This is very exciting! Thanks for this valuable info. Looking forward to building as many gigs as I can handle over the next few months.
how is it going?
Nice catch on Fiverr gigs with AI! I suspected that people were posting regular gigs and using AI generated art anyway, before this AI Artists category
Breakdown of the comment section...
100%: Wow, this is such a great idea!
0%: This actually works! I made money!
That's because the REAL side hustle is the ad revenue he gets from making these RUclips videos.
Don't fool yourself.
@@user-kx8no1wh4u Don't let other's fool you
Best way to make money is to make videos telling people how "they can make money" lol
Thank you as always !
Fascinating fascinating post Alek
Thank you Maxwell 🫡
Hello,great video. Are you going to do part 2? Thanks
Aramis, you deserve a medal. Watch out
Binge watching you r channel man ! it's awesome.
My esy account got suspended !! So I'm designing. A quesiton though: I could go crazy and make 20+ font variations over the same design. Is that recommended or should I select my top 5 or 10?
Hey, thanks! I would stick with 5 or less, and pick your absolute BEST ones. I think more designs targeting different interest groups is better than more font variations. Once you figure out what fonts sell the best, just keep using those
Alek! You are a legend. Thank you for your honest tips!
Looking forward to your results video
Looking forward to see how this turns out!
Amazing Alek. I'm getting on this right away!!
what prompt did you use with these images 8:25?
I just listed as well. Joining the competition
Hello Alex, I appreciate how you break things down. I would love to change the trajectory of me and my son's life. Do you do one-on-one help?
Hi Alex I love the lamp 🪔 you have back there. I am a extreme home design app player and it resembles one of the lamps on home design app. ❤️ Pretty dope.
it's from aliexpress
😂
Another great vid man! Love your content. Are you planning to set up a discord server for your subscribers? Would be cool to have a place to interact and learn together as we implement the tools and ideas you teach :)
Such a cool video dude! Thanks for taking the time to make it. AI is 100% the future, excited to see what it becomes.
Alek please make another video about this subject please! I appreciate your videos Thank You.
Will do!
@@alekSheffy what's up with all the damn bots or whatever it is. I just found you today and I'm already being attacked 😂
Very interesting! Thank you. Etsy has been a bit slow for me too. How is your 100k challenge coming along?
Thank you! So after a month from this video, what was your income using this method? Can you share a link to your Fiverr?
Just make sure you guys buy the 30$ subscription for midjourney to do this, so you dont get copyright striked.
$60 one because you don't want your client's work to be public
@@comeforaride - Right on, Victoria! I paid for the entire year and got a 20% discount. Why? Because of stealth mode. I have a physics, math, and filmmaking background and don't want anyone else to see my prompts.
Actually you can get the $10 plan and get commercial usage
@@TheEchoSage Yes but... 200 generations go by fast.
AI art can't be copyrighted, so it doesn't matter which option you go for.
Hey, how are those gigs performing? Has anybody purchased yours?
thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
No follow-up video, guess it bombed lol
It would be so great if you did a video on how much you're making now with You Tube!
Can you do a video of different applications with various art styles? I've been trying to make a logo but it does not come out good. It's all done but nothing close to what I want.
We need updates about your shop in esty 😃
Thanks for the inspiration. I checked out MidJourney, but it seems like it would take a lifetime to learn. Any suggestions on how to start the learning process?
Choose your niche, learn Prompt + Imagination is equal to 1M asset
Check out MidNinja style guide.
How do you use chatgpt to write the descriptions
It's a good idea but couldn't all these clients just download an AI app, do it themselves & not have to pay anyone?
Can you pay for a month or so and cancel Mid journey but still use the images you may have gotten under that month of subscription for commercial purposes?
I believe so
awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
So... 2 weeks in. Any takers Alek?
btw, the code you generated with cgpt3 doesn't really do anything
What percent cut does Fiverr take of your earnings? Also, last week I paid a guy $50 to generate 1000 ai images for me. I'm guessing he made around 40 before taxes. Took him almost a week. Sure doesnt seem like a profitable use of time.
Wow ripping the guy off. 1000 images takes a long time to generate.
@@comeforaride he posted a job at a price and I bought it. How is that ripping him off?
Fiverr takes 20% cut of your sales, this just platform fee not including taxes, so yeah about 40,
if you're seller not based on the US and had to use service like Paypal to withdraw your earnings to you local banks,
then that's another cut from platform fee
@@comeforaride probably new seller, new seller with low or no reviews and ratings got burried on the back end of search pages,
new seller had to undersell their service first so they can climb up on top of the search page rankings,
Very good
Very good
I listed all available gigs and has just fulfilled my first order. That was fun. Thanks for making this.
How is your sales going?
Mine was a ghost town for the longest time.
Alek one question
How would you tweak an AI generated image. How can you make small revisions a customer may want?
If it's something drastic, you can always try feeding the link to the original image that needs tweaking back into midjourney with the tweak. You should probably note on your gig or in conversations with the customer that regenerating the art may not be completely consistent from image to image
right click and send dm its send mesage to bot which had your seed couple the seed paste add the prompt.. your welcome
Magic eraser or Playground. I honestly thow things into Playground after MidJourney to edit it.
Dall-E can be used to correct issues with parts of a Midjourney generated image
Please make a video on your youtube income so far.
I see a bull in the background, do you trade perhaps? ^^
Is there a way to get a 1-1 chat with Midjourney bot? As far as I can see now, its a public chat
you can add the midjourney bot to your server
I got Fiverr for this and never got paid to do a gig so I guess I was late to profit
I personally wouldn't recommend using fivver at this point, i've heard too many horror stories of clients fraudulently reporting artists, so they don't have to pay for the work they received.
@@im_Polyhedrons what do I use bro
@@hontema there are a lot of freelance/gig sites, the first that come to mind are "upwork" "peopleperhour"(as mentioned in this video) or "seo clerks" I recommend watching videos on as many alternatives as you can, so you can find one that meets your needs.
What is the point to pay someone for those services made by ai, while anyone can do it by himself using the same ai?
Good prompt engineering takes time to master. Many people don't want to spend time to learn it. They just want results.
And when human creativity is dead, you won't care, you have made money killing it, and that is good enough for you.
Why would your creativity die? That'd be terrible
@@alekSheffy Sarcasm aside, since you don't know me or what I do, I wish you had the mental acumen/discipline to pause for a second, look around you and think, or better notice how these AI models are created. AI generated art does not hold any Copyright, there are multiple class actions and lawsuits taking place in all corners of the world as we speak, and It was created by scraping prominent artists' IP (Intellectual Property to make it clear to you) without their permission, compensation or knowledge. If you were capable of such mental prowess as to understand that a young person growing up with this kind of technology will never again dream of becoming an artist as a career, you would spare me the sarcasm and the need to explain, but that's too much to ask I guess.
what is a gig guys
Again, thank you for this video!! I'm already executing the AI poster design for Etsy and I want to do stickers as well.
Might give this a try as well! Thank you for all you do!
do u have etsy?
The number of reviews vs. how many sales you make is similar to Etsy. So the 36 reviews is likely closer to 100+ sales.
Okay! Great point. I guess most people don't leave reviews anyways
😂 they really don’t.
So the customers tell you what kind of image they want generated and you let AI generate it? Why don't the people just do it themselves?
Good prompt engineering takes time to master. Many people don't want to spend time to learn it. They just want results.
I don’t understand why people would pay someone knowing they are using AI? Why not use the AI themselves? It’s like paying someone to do a google search for them 😂 but hey I’m not complaining. I’ll be the guy you pay to click a few buttons for you.
people are busy all people are not AI expert or selling persons they just want to buy.
Ppl are busy .. and fyi there is ppl pay for Google search by the way 🤣🤣
People can move their own furniture too. 🤷
Knowing what to prompt the AI is a useful skill that most don't have
@@homeboy_jay you can get great results with the most basic prompts, it takes an hour to learn how to use midjourney from a RUclips video.
What do you do when your prompts come out all wonky? Whenever there is any organic being generated, something always comes out with body parts that aren't right. You need to go into Photoshop to correct it. Which takes hours sometimes.
Use Dall-E edit mode to correct mistakes made by Midjourney. It works really well for this.
Where's the follow up
Do sell formation please . I need your assistance please 🙏🏽
What? I'm not sure what this means
Is alek ai generated? Because his hand movements don't match what he's saying.
you are an early arbitrageur, I'm glad you're making money, but don't rely on it continuing
Let's face it, we're all just hustling for scraps at this point. By the time a money making idea gets on youtube, it's already too late.
Not really though, because everything is going to have competition eventually
Hei Alek, actually they probably make more. The thing you looked at was reviews, not orders. So they have a lot more orders
Or a lot more less 😉🤣🤣
@@SaidThaher No that's not how it works. People can only leave a review when they make the order, so when it says x amount of reviews it has many more orders
@@joakim3964 aha .. good to know though.. i never uses the platform .. can someone who have old reviews in another type of work change to AI and keep the number of reviews too ?
@@SaidThaher You have a "total review" on your page as a seller that people can see, which provides credibility, but you cant change your listing into something completely different. Then you need to make a new listing.
@@SaidThaher But I have made over 25K usd on the page in the last 1,5 year. Most of that income comes from the last 6 months. I recommend giving it a try.
Im Just curious but, why someone is going to pay someone to do something that they can do by themself on midjourney 😅
ya but why are u giving this out for free tho, why not just do it all ur slef and max proift
Because some things in life (helping others, being a successful youtuber) are worth more than just more money (which he has plenty of from his success at these same methods)
Because he also profits from you watching this & more
cuz he will prob make more money from us watching this video then the actual methods they show. That's the funny part of all these "side hustle" channels. They make the most money from you and I watching.
You simply started making kind of fake easy high income videos like everyone else on yt..
If anyone is wondering how or if to start with fiverr. I made a video about the challanges you will have to face when starting on this platform
I feel like this is gonna be too saturated to make anything now
👏👏👏
Haha or they're just AI 👀
Thanks for watching
@@alekSheffy It's real :) Great channel and great content Alek!
Helo
Have you used AI to create this video?
That's cute, but you shouldn't treat your audience like they're dumbasses with a fancy number on the title.
I'm a Fiverr Pro Seller, so I have a history on the platform, and I made a MidJourney AI Art gig last week, but the website is flooded with other people doing exactly the same. I don't need to tell you that I put my best pictures on the gallery, and until now I had a total of 0 clicks. Kind of misleading this whole video.
If you proposed the idea of selling on Fiverr (which is valid) but not a silly number that make any poor folk naturally go
🤑 you wouldn't get a thumbs down.
Every method of ai money tricks is fake just dont lose your time on that things and focus on actualy developing a skill that pays you
What skills would you recommend? Doesn't this get you a foot in the door to learning a new skill?
Looking for some extra help with Shopify/ Etsy and selling stickers if anyone is available to help, would be very much appreciated!
Good luck trying to compete with 14,000+ other people on Fiverr doing the same thing.
I use ai to decrease conntact with people. Not if I use fiverr. Lol
Them hand gestures were so distracting, arms didn't get tired the whole video? Lolol anyway good tips
$100 per hour from Midjourney. $20k per month from AI art. I gotta ask you my dude, why don't you do this?
because my business makes plenty of money and I'd rather scale that one, and make videos which long term will make more than that.
Are you sure
You just want to get views
Not that easy my friend.
I began accumulating wealth when I started following up my investment properly, The value of expert mentorship cannot be overstated. Without proper mentoring, people tend to make mistakes and loose money. This is why I prefer to invest with Juliann Hart because her methods are unique and extremely profitable-
I invest with Juliann Hart. She's the best when it comes to making gains in the financial market she's well accredited and proficient to help beginners through managing your investments-
Her investing strategy and risk management is well structured. She also offer copytrading
what color was my sock 😏
Saw that video. Wasn’t wearing socks and had an amazing ass.
They aren’t “artists” lol what are you taking about…
RUclipsrs always throwing poor people under the bus!
a bunch of scammers in my opinion lmfao. it's not hard figuring out AI art like mid journey.
You'd have a more realistic chance of actually making money, if you charged $2, $5 or $8 for prompt ideas that are proven to create specific things. People selling the ai art for anything above $5 for 5 images is a scam, when dalle 2 and stable diffusion are free.
Oh look another hustle guru telling people to commit fraud with AI just because he's hopping on the bandwagon
No, don't commit fraud David 😂
RUclipsrs so desperate for content lol never speak from experience only speak from speculation

👹
I F%$#@! did it Alek, I made it to the 1st comment
Second! 🎉
Thank you for all your content 🙏🏼I enjoy your videos
DARN, you beat me by one minute!

better method is to talk how to get rich through ai on youtube
