Okay, so I’ve been messing around with AI art for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s pretty addictive. But then I hit a wall – how do I actually sell this stuff? I didn’t want to build a whole website, and all those marketplace fees? No thanks. So, I went on a mission to find a no-website, no-fees way to sell my AI-generated art. Here’s what I did:
Diving into AI Art Generation
First things first, I needed some art. I’ve been playing with a few different AI art generators. Picked one,tweaked the settings until I got something, download images what I like.
Figuring Out Where to Sell (Without a Website)
Next up, how to sell these without the hassle of a website. I’m no web developer, and I didn’t want to spend hours setting something up. So, I looked into platforms that were already popular and didn’t need me to build anything from scratch.
- Social Media Marketplaces:I started simple. Used an existing personal social media account, posted some of my best pieces, added a simple description, and a * fancy sales pitch, just “Hey, I made this, DM me if you want it.”
- Print on Demand (POD):I used another platform that do print-on-demand stuff.
Setting Prices and Getting Paid
Figuring out pricing was a bit of a guessing game at first. I checked out what other people were charging for similar stuff and went from there. I didn’t want to undersell myself, but I also wanted to be * it’s good for start.
Making the First Sale (and What I Learned)
It took a little while, but eventually, someone messaged me about one of my pieces! We chatted a bit, I answered their questions, and boom – first sale! It wasn’t a huge amount of money, but it was proof that this whole thing could actually work.
Here’s the main things I learned:
- Be Patient: Sales won’t happen overnight.
- Engage with People: Responding to comments and messages makes a big difference.
- Quality Matters:Even though it’s AI-generated, people still want something that looks good.
So, that’s my story of selling AI art without a website or fees. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, but it’s a fun way to share my creations and make a little extra cash. If you’re into AI art, give it a shot! You might be surprised at what you can do.
