Looking for actionable, real-world ways to make money with AI?

AI isn’t just reshaping industries — it’s opening new income streams for everyday creators, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. From selling AI-generated images to building passive income with short-form videos, the possibilities are multiplying.

And in this guide, I am walking you through all the tried and tested and highly monetizable methods to make money with AI!

How to Make Money with AI Image Generation

Turn creative ideas into cash by generating stunning AI visuals. From printable art to stock photos, this is how to use AI to make money!

1. Sell AI-Generated Stock Images

One of the easiest ways to start monetizing AI is by generating high-quality stock images that you can sell on platforms like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Depositphotos, or Envato.

Businesses, bloggers, and content creators are always looking for unique, royalty-free visuals — and AI gives you endless possibilities.

With ImagineArt’s Text-to-Image tool, I can create:

• Nature landscapes that look stunning for travel blogs
• Abstract patterns perfect for website backgrounds
• Conceptual futuristic scenes ideal for tech presentations
• Product mockups for niche markets like skincare, fitness, or digital apps

The key here is to focus on keyword-driven stock categories that have constant demand.

For example:

• business team collaboration
• mental health concept art
• eco-friendly technology.”

Once generated, simply curate your best images, upload to stock marketplaces, add the right keywords, and let the passive income build over time.
