My 7 Income Sources With One AI Tool

I am not an Artist. And I am not planning to become one. But still, I make money through my art and this is how I do it. A few years back I was looking for a business I can do from home. I have worked in the IT sector for a very long time. Have worked in various job roles. My favorite one was that of being in the Software department. But you know what? Something was lacking.

I hope I have not bored you. I will list here a few places I have tried to make money. I am still on a mission to expand it. After all, it requires only a few minutes to do it! No editing is required. So saved so much of my valuable time!

One of the first platforms I explored with AI was Zazzle, and it quickly became one of my favorites. I mostly design and sell invites, and with the help of tools like MidJourney, the process has become much faster and more creative. Zazzle has always been a reliable POD (Print on Demand) site for me, and with AI cutting down design time, I can focus more on quality and variety. It’s definitely a great way to earn consistent side income.

I’ve also been running three Redbubble stores, which I started long before experimenting with AI. These stores were already doing well, but with AI, I’ve been able to speed up the creative process and upload more designs without spending endless hours. While I can’t say all my recent sales are purely because of AI, it has definitely saved me time and allowed me to keep the momentum going.

When it comes to stock marketplaces, Adobe Stock is an interesting option. Here, it’s important to be transparent and mention that you’ve used AI to create your work. I’ve picked one niche category and focused on producing art specifically for it. While Adobe Stock may not be a full-time income source, it can definitely bring in a steady part-time income if you’re consistent. For me, it’s another channel where AI makes content creation much more manageable.

Another platform I truly enjoy is Creative Fabrica. It requires approval before you can start selling, but once you’re in, the possibilities are wide. This site is especially good for digital assets like fonts, graphics, and templates. With AI, I’ve been able to create unique designs faster and keep up with trends. It’s a solid part-time income option and one of my favorites because of its creative flexibility.

Recently, I discovered Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), a platform where educators and creators can sell teaching resources. Since I started only recently, my earnings here are still modest, but the potential is big. AI makes it easier to generate worksheets, activities, and creative teaching aids in less time. While it’s early days for me, I’m excited to see how this platform grows as I upload more content.

At the top of my list is Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). This has been one of the most rewarding platforms, especially with low-content books like journals, planners, and coloring books. Personally, I love creating coloring books, and AI helps me generate designs quickly using just one prompt with slight variations. This platform has great long-term potential, and AI makes it easier to scale and experiment with different book categories.

Finally, I’ve also started exploring Upwork, a freelancing platform where demand for AI-related skills is rapidly growing. Many clients are looking for people who can create prompt bundles, generate AI-based content, or provide creative design solutions. Since not everyone is familiar with prompts, this is a great way to use AI knowledge as a service and get paid for it. While I’m still new here, the opportunities look very promising.
