Top 3 Lucrative AI Side Hustles: AI-Generated Art, Book Writing & Design

With the boom of AI in 2022, led by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the industry has only gotten larger. AI may be coming for your creative job. AI can do so many things that any human being would take a lot of time, usually in the tone of years. Today, we will list the best side hustles you can do using ChatGPT to earn a meaningful income.

Selling Priceless Art

With the advent of Natural Language Processing models such as ChatGPT and Midjorney’s NLP, it is becoming clear that the human race is just scratching the surface of AI. Generative AI art is becoming the most popular way to create art, and the generative art from artists on the internet is quite something.

However, controversy surrounds AI creativity, as many people criticize the use of AI to make art as an insult to real-life creators who use their creative gifts. Despite this, making money with AI art is easy. You can use a generative AI of your choice, and there are many examples out there, but the most noteworthy are Midjorney and Dall-E.

If you are unsure how to create a prompt, no worries. Head over to your account on ChatGPT, give the language model a series of preferences, and ask the AI to create a good prompt from your preferences. You can sell your art in many places, but we recommend Etsy and Amazon. As for printing, you can use print-on-demand options, including Printful.

Writing and Sell Books on Amazon KDP

With this option, you have to have the patience to work and see out the process. It is quite time-consuming, but the returns could be immense. First, deciding the kind of book you want to write is prudent. Find out everything about your target market and the genre you want the book to be in.

After you have all this in mind, head to ChatGPT and ask the AI to create story titles that would appeal to the kind of audience you want and the genre. From the list that the AI provides, choose the option you prefer. Then, ask the AI to create an outline for the title you choose, and after the outline is created, ask the AI to create the book.

It is prudent to note that you will have to do a lot of editing because AI programs are still in their infancy and can give plagiarized work or work that is not verifiable and credible. After all these steps are done, consider publishing your book on platforms such as Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing or Barnes & Noble’s Nook Press.

Graphics Design

This method is a unique way of making money from AI. I have been around the Midjorney Discord channel, and many users use the technology to create graphic designs for logos, websites, floor plans, and more. You can start a graphics design agency with Midjorney and basic social media.

To start, you require a business plan and perfect execution to maximize your chances of getting high returns. Then, pick a niche and start using Midjorney to create sample logos or any other graphics you choose and give them to your prospective customers. Tip: always use a watermark before handing over samples.

This process is very easy given the ease in generating high-quality assets by the Midjorney AI. For example, you can generate 3D logos, 4K logos, and much more.
