The BEST A.I. Passive Income Side Hustle 2024

[@rob-time]

I watched this video on January 22, 2024 and today is Feb 13 and I have followed this process, learned all the programs, created the art, converted aspect ratios, created mockups and opened an Etsy shop and listed many items already. It takes time, and perseverance. I know I won't see sales for a bit but the more I research, learn and list, the better it all gets.

[@JDoe-hb7pc]

Hi, how many days has your store been live? Have you made any sales yet? How many hours did this take thanks.

[@rob-time]

@@JDoe-hb7pc Thanks for your reply, I opened my store on January 29th and today is February 16, so almost 3 weeks. I haven't had any sales yet, but I didn't expect to. I haven't counted the hours, but to get things set up, I devote at least 5-8 hours per day and take weekends off because I don't want to burn out.

[@JoelFunk369]

@rob-time so epic! I just started now on Sunday 2/18 & am going through the steps. I will post back here when I've completed the steps, & opened my shop. What's your shop name? If you want we should stay in touch and keep accountability & troubleshoot issues we are having to make things easier. I can't tell you how much I needed something like this right now!

The BEST A.I. Passive Income Side Hustle in 2024 is making youtube videos about The BEST A.I. Passive Income Side Hustles 2024. Can you give us a tutorial on that?

Crazy thing is, this isn’t remotely close to a joke. It’s literal facts. If these methods works, he’d be doing that and not making these videos

[@fuzzypanda1684]

I feel like this is just going to be another one of those videos that makes it seem like you can just learn some basic AI skills and make 6 figures on your first go. When in reality, you'll hit tons of road blocks, have endless problems, and in the end, make about $10.

[@HareBrayn]

One of the stores featured, their sales are almost entirely Christmas and Halloween themed content... so it's not constant income. However, it is true that if you look polished with your mockups the conversion rate better.

[@johnjohnson-pf6ln]

@@HareBrayn actually this video is misleading. The main store he featured, north prints, has been on etsy for four years and not just a year. She got shut down last year for a violation and then was put back up. A lot of those paintings had been on her etsy site for three plus years.

[@blacklight4720]

Reminds me of Gold Rush in Alaska, most of the people were rushing to find the gold. While some people recognized the potential for business in providing services for the miners.

[@thethan3]

Yeah, but in all fairness the gold rush didn't have a side effect of destroying the social order that all of society for the past few thousand years has been based on (i.e. the distribution of labor). Survivor bias can only go so far with irrational people trying to make a quick buck. This kind of activity is both morally and ethically tainting; and highly destructive in the longer term. This type of activity is actively destroying the world, and relying on that hope that someone smart will figure out how to fix what was broken before the dam that broke with the release of AI reaches them with the consequences. So shortsighted, and everyone eventually dies from starvation when economic calculation becomes impossible, but its a slow creeping but inevitable ruin. So much for everyone who wanted to have kids, who would want to bring them into a world with such devastating suffering on the horizon that only the minority of hyper-rational people left today can see. It has always been the hyper-rationalists that got us past impossible ordeals, but what happens when you go up against an impossible to solve problem (unrefuted, there's no solution to the economic calculation problem without a distribution of labor, and people have been working on that for 100 years at least).

With digital downloads it’s volume that beats the algorithm to be on the first page. I have over 600 items and now I don’t pay for ads. I’m found easy in search. Still have to make more since the most successful person has 5000 listings and makes 45k a month. I looked at her store. It’s not passive but I get paid while asleep.

[@TheRyanCiriaco]

Thanks for this. I had a very poor attempt at a launch last year, BUT I did get a lot of the administrative stuff out of the way (incorporation, business bank account, subscriptions to the various services etc.). The store is up, and because I didn't have my workflows dialed in for the limited time I dedicated to this, I felt like the digital art side took too long. Through Printify though, I noticed that wrapping paper was very easy to generate. Using your video about repeatable patterns, I used that formula to come up with a bunch of designs. After a few dozen listings, I sold a whopping 7 items last year. This wasn't discouraging, but rather a small proof of concept that with more consistency and some very deliberate effort, I can make this work THIS year.

[@bossbill9226]

Hey Ryan, them is stupid. lol gl

[@life2essence]

Great video and thank you for posting. I had an Etsy shop for almost 10 years. Started out designing and making jewelry and did really well, but it was hard work. As I got older, I needed to step away from making jewelry for health reasons, and started acrylic resin painting and selling the originals, which sold really well. But it triggered my chronic nerve pain and regrettably had to discontinue making them. I started watercolor painting, selling the prints, both digital and POD. It was still a lot of work, and frustrating because unless you're doing ads or lots of Social Media, your shop is literally a needle in the big Etsy haystack. Not to be discouraging, but it is a saturated market. It's critical to find a niche that fills a need for certain demographics of shoppers, and market research is a crucial element in this process. I may pick this up again using my old art prints, mixed in with some AI art, if it's a viable option. It's important the print is a high enough resolution so it's not grainy when the buyer prints out a large print, 300dpi is not enough IMO. I would shoot for 500dpi. Thanks again Alek for this concept.

I will accept this challenge and follow your instructions step by step. I will report back to this video and let all of you know my results.

[@mazeyandbuck]

Ok. I made it thru the first parts. Others should know that It's $8 per month for Midjourney but you actually have to pay a year in advance. So, I did that. My first investment already at $96 bucks. Next...the discord stuff took me awhile to figure out but I got it done. I watched this part of your video probably 20 times just to follow it exactly as you said. I was able to create an image just as you said....so that was cool. I will stop at this point today and come back at it later. For now, I want to play around with more image generations and see what I can create. I'll keep you all posted.

[@mazeyandbuck]

Hey John! Well, Yes. I would have added more updates but didn't figure anybody would read it. Since I watched this video I have been on a roll. I have signed up to Etsy, Printify, Printful, Redbubble and recently got accepted to sell on Amazon Merch on Demand. Don't let anyone fool you on how easy this is. I have spent probably 30 hours learning to design on Canva, and working with generative AI to create some really cool designs. I hate to tell you that I have already been suspended on Etsy and Redbubble, with no explanations given. I have appealed this but basically they will get back to you or they won't. They have made it very clear that they could give a crap about me. I wondered if my AI artworks could be the problem but I don't know. I have now ventured out to TeeSprings and just signed up for Wirestock. I am not going to give up on this idea as I am really enjoying. Now I just need a platform that is willing to work with me and not just permanently suspend my account for life for a brand new designer that has no idea what I even did wrong! Thanks for asking.

Sometimes you just want a cool picture for couple off bucks and not a hand drawn masterpiece that would cost hundreds of dollars😅

[@Ben-et8wh]

that's for the buyer to decide. the same reason some simple paintings are worth hundreds of thousands of $ or else people buy prints for much cheaper, or opt for "cheaper" artists.

[@I_am_hikari_blade]

NO WAY ....competition will squeeze you

[@elvidreamcatcher2847]

Thank you for sharing! I watched your videos last year and hope to make it finally happen in 2014. Thanks for all the ideas, an inspiration and detailed guidance.

[@alekSheffy]

Good luck 🤞

[@flickwtchr]

Traveling back in time? Just having fun with the typo. Good luck to you.

[@lmlowe9100]

I've been doing digital downloads since July. High quality, popular niche...and not from AI...I'm an actual artist. I've only sold 40 to date. There are LOTS of Etsy shops selling this type of product...LOTS...some only months out. I'd like to know the secret to getting FOUND, as I have gotten minimal visits and views over the 6 months since I opened. My conversion rate was around 3-5%, which by all accounts is decent. So...what gives?

[@AIGuy420]

Its over saturated. Every man and his dog can make art now with AI, I couldn't think of a worse way to try and make money

[@_schylag_137]

its pretty difficult to get exposure. Best thing you could do is opening a pinterest with a link to your shop, maybe post your prints from instagram or X with a watermark, and build a community. invest less in the art and more on the customer

[@mmoideas]

Awesome video!I appreciate the practical tips, especially leveraging AI like ChatGPT and MidJourney. The success stories you shared are super motivating. Excited to explore this side hustle - thanks for the valuable insights!

[@alekSheffy]

Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@MotherOfThings]

Sounds great. A bit intimidating going through all of those steps. I'm sure it gets easier the more you do it but a bit overwhelming for a starter❤

[@pissoutmyassable]

Keep going and it will quickly get easier :D

[@scottburrows3772]

I promise you...this guy has never done this himself

[@emeryhope]

Okay wow! This was truly the most helpful mid journey video I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@Quadivan]

I'll give it a try. However, remember: In a race to make a quick buck, the winner is the one who sells the shoes.

[@artcraftblog]

I've done a "course" on this one year ago. Do you think it's still a viable model? There are thousands of prints in the same "trendy" topics now generated by AI. And what are the traffic channels for all these successful shops? I'd like to try this year to setup a print store but I'm not sure If there are more people who teaches how to do that than actually those who succeed following such tutorials..😅

[@aethro]

I'd imagine by the time you're seeing an AI hustle in the form of a YT vid like this, the cow has already been milked nearly dry

[@salvaxdarkhero2179]

Aight, for the next 6 months imma do this

[@candyzc]

I love how clear the process is in this video, but I'm finding through my research that these types of art prints are overly saturated. I fear spending lots of time to create tons of posts only for them to not sell. I'd love to tap into a niche that isn't so. Would love your insights on how to pick a profitable product/niche. That's where I'm stuck. I'd love to use AI to my advantage!

[@ebayseller6040]

surely some of it will sell. im not gonna get those "thoughts" get in the way and gonna keep working on it. brand new shop tho only for digital

[@dogelife7901]

It's basically fine a trend and stick with it. As he said these shops were pumping in 4 months worth of content, it may take even longer to build and it may not take off at all...

[@sweetheartfindsit]

In a sense, you're not wrong. I have 2 etsy shops that are AI based, and worked on them for months, including SEO and Alura optimization. One niche was saturated, one wasnt. Ive made about $2500 in 4 months, so hardly a fortune. It's a good learning process though and it's certainly helped me hone in on whats worth my time and what might not be. Good luck!

[@HoNow222]

the only people making money with this shit are the ones making videos about it.

[@Lovelyquid]

@@sweetheartfindsit That's not that bad for low effort.

[@ebayseller6040]

i remember walking my kid and watching your video last year. was busy with "current store and sales" and didn't take any action that might have made me way more money :( this year will be different I'm taking more actions and NEW actions

[@andrewfrost8866]

Alek, this is incredibly useful, informative and well-presented; thank you!

[@ebayseller6040]

i never bought a course before(I feel like all info is out there free). but some day I might just buy alek's course to show support. if anything he is inspiring me to put in some work

[@dalefurniss3724]

Let’s do it.

[@drzavahercegbosnaponosna5974]

Hi Alek, I desperately need 3 liters of SNAKE OIL. I heard your snake oil is the best! ;-))))

[@dinoruski7075]

Thank you this video of ALL that i watched to earn something, this one was the easiest and best

[@AleMuraca]

I've just started my vacations and had nothing to di up to now. Thx Will try this for sure

[@feralkittieh_]

Perfect video with great simple explanations for noobs such as myself :) Thank you. Subscribed!

[@euskadi55]

Hi Alek I really like AI and what can produce but to sell so many per month is not only to have a great product but more important is the marketing. Would you be able to do a video of how to market the product?

[@LifeFullofDays]

Yes, getting traffic is difficult for me too, thanks for your question.

[@VoyageVista19.]

Great video Alek. Greetings from Melbourne

[@stephaniedesignsthings]

Wonderful & to-the-point video 🙌 One question regarding image quality - is the generated image quality enough so that it can be printed on various size formats? E.g. printing on A1 paper size (23-3/8 x 33-1/8 inches or 59.4 x 84.1 cm) or larger? Or do you use image upscalers to enhance it? Thanks in advance!😊

[@mikecapson1845]

its not enought, no way

[@nzfilm345]

very inspirational, I will give it a try, this is certainly most interesting even as it might have a steeper learning curve then many people might think, but spending an hour each day and I should be up and running in a month or so - many thanks

[@TheAILab67]

1.3k+... Thanks Alek. Just finished your video until the end. Will try your advice

[@PeytonBrambell-el8kh]

Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!

[@Neutralneuu]

Alex , thank you, I’m going to try it and I’ll be back in a week for the update. I’m not expecting anything crazy but I want to try it out. I think no one actually tries this and people are just asking questions before even starting ( I used to do the same) I read a comment which said wouldn’t everyone be a millionaire if this was true , well ..

[@Neutralneuu]

Okay so just got 2 orders so far .. lol Also I stared a day or two after I posted this comment. And I’m not new to using any software or mid journey or Etsy so maybe it was a bit fast to set everything up but maybe learn and you can save some time here and there. Well I’ll keep on adding listings , maybe will market it and will see where it goes.

[@TheSkandranon]

Oh wow, i never thought about making mockups on midjourney. I'm going to have to use that

[@prodbyaviv]

i wonder how you can make the art in different scales as fast as i can. theres some way you can do it faster? my preview on mac is kinda messed the size all the time. appriciate the help alek!

[@LaHồngTrang]

YES! JUST WHAT I NEEDED, TY!!!

[@CampbellHerbert-pd7nf]

After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..

[@AndryMarsh]

Thanks to Mrs Deborah Davis.

[@AndryMarsh]

She's a licensed broker here in the states

[@JaydenJayson-bl2yn]

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

[@JenniferAminath]

Alright thanks for the recommendation, but how do I reach her?

[@mammam-yp9xe]

Yeah get connected to Deborah Davis, here's her line👎🏻

[@thatboydennis]

great video bro. You've got a new sub!

[@drmikroskop]

Can't believe this type of content still outgoing... This is not a good type of money earnings. trust me.

[@TalesOfTrillions]

Who would've thought AI could be this lucrative? It's like having a money-making robot on your side. 🤖
