When text-to-image AI tools first became available to the public, most people who were using them were doing it solely because it was fun. I remember that I used to spend a lot of time playing around with Dall-E when it was released.
Nearly all users were simply testing the capabilities of these AI models without knowing how quickly things would progress. The capabilities of Dall-E increased considerably after each iteration of the model. Not to mention that the quality of images you get with Dall-E 3 is nothing short of remarkable.
Some people who started experimenting with these AI-powered tools early on got quite good at writing prompts and eventually made careers thanks to the skills they developed. And if you have a knack for writing prompts, you may be able to financially benefit from your knowledge.
The Dall-E 3 articles I've written thus far were mostly prompt writing guides. Today, I'm going to share something a bit different. I'll talk about how you can start making money with your Dall-E 3 skills.
Can You Make Money With Dall-E 3?
The answer is yes, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will come easy. You can make money from a wide variety of skills, and prompt writing is no different. However, you'll have to get really good at it.
I often see people who think that they'll easily make money after using a model like Dall-E 3 for only a few days simply because the tool provides amazing images most of the time. To start generating profits from your Dall-E 3 skills, you'll need to practice until the images you generate really stand out from the majority of AI-generated designs.
One thing that I should also mention is that it's imperative that you clearly state that the images you want to make money from were generated by AI. It's important to be upfront about this so people don't get the wrong impression.
Becoming good at writing prompts requires a lot of trial and error. It's also necessary that you do a lot of research on everything from art styles to terminology that you can use to perfectly describe the image you want the AI to generate.
5 Key Strategies for Making Money With Dall-E 3
There are different ways to make money with Dall-E 3. It's up to you to decide how you're going to use this AI model in your professional life. I decided to share five different strategies for making money with Dall-E 3. Let's check them out.
Sell Digital Art
You can get quite inspired when you're using Dall-E 3. At least that's how I feel most of the time when I'm interacting with an AI model. If you find that Dall-E 3 helps you express yourself creatively, you might want to work on your prompts and share the results on social media platforms. Do this long enough, and you might get a decent following.
Some AI artists successfully sell their AI-generated art online. You can either set up an online store for this or create NFTs out of the images you create. In case you're not familiar with the term, an NFT represents a non-fungible token. It's essentially a way to authenticate your art and sell it for cryptocurrencies.
This is a relatively easy way to get paid for your prompting skills, as long as you're talented. There are a number of skilled AI artists who you'll compete against. But if you develop a unique style and know how to promote your work online, you'll surely be able to attract potential buyers.
Here's a prompt that I wrote to create a piece of digital art.
prompt: abstract art, minimalist, recursive patterns that symbolize how the laws of physics guide matter into following the rules set out within the boundless universe
I have an article that's dedicated to Dall-E 3 prompts for NFTs. Apart from different prompt examples, I discuss more about NFTs in the article. Check it out if you're an AI artist or are at the very least interested in becoming one.
Create Logo Designs
Dall-E 3 excels at graphic design, especially when it comes to creating logos. I have previously written an article that's all about Dall-E 3 prompts for logo designs. You can check out some of the examples I included there to see what this AI model is capable of.
I'll also include one prompt example for logo design here.
prompt: mascot logo for a chocolate company of a cute anthropomorphic squirrel with round glasses and a huge smile on its face
If you decide to use this strategy to make money from your prompting skills, it's extremely important to be transparent about your use of AI to create these designs. What's great about making these designs is that you can create several different logos in a matter of minutes.
In most cases, you can get tremendous results by writing a simple prompt that's only 10-20 words long.
Sell Dall-E 3 Prompts
Apart from selling your AI-generated artwork, there are also platforms where you can sell your Dall-E 3 prompts. One of the most prominent prompt marketplaces is currently PromptBase. It's a website that's easy to use and has a lot of interested buyers and sellers.
All you have to do is include a few images that you created with your prompts, and if buyers like what they see, they might purchase the prompts. This platform is a place where you can also sell your Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and GPT prompts.
Use Freelance Marketplaces
Many people across the world have heard amazing things about AI but they simply haven't gotten around to using it yet. However, they are willing to pay those who are skilled at interacting with AI models.
One of the reasons why clients love hiring AI artists is because they know they can expect designs extremely quickly. And they can't expect the same from digital artists who do everything themselves. Of course, digital artists still get hired all the time and it's especially important to seek their help with bigger projects. However, small businesses who need a basic design done quickly might benefit more from AI artists.
You can find work online as an AI artist on various freelance marketplaces. Some of the best platforms where you can find a gig fast include Upwork and Fiverr. In fact, Fiverr has embraced AI creators early on and helps connect them to a large number of interested clients.
Create Game Asset Designs
If you've played a lot of video games, then you must remember some assets that you've used in full detail. For instance, I remember exactly how the Tau Cannon from Half-Life looks and could probably describe it perfectly despite not having played the game for some time.
As a video game fan, you can tap into your memory and creativity to create game asset designs with the help of Dall-E 3. In case you have unique ideas, you might score some great gigs. Here's a video game asset design that I created with Dall-E 3.
prompt: 3D model video game asset of an ancient sword forged using a special old technique from forgotten times, the blade of the sword is carved with symbols of an unknown language and it pulsates emitting a peculiar purple light
If you'd like to see more prompt examples like this, I suggest that you check out my article on Dall-E 3 prompts for video game assets. You'll find many more examples there that fit a wide range of games.
Final Thoughts
One of the best things about using Dall-E 3 to make money online is that you'll have access to this AI model for only $20 a month. That's quite a small investment considering that you can use the tool to generate profit.
Another great thing is that there currently isn't a lot of competition. Most people have yet to catch up on how monumental this type of technology is. It's best to use this fact to your advantage as soon as possible because there will come a time when there will be many more prompt engineers and AI artists in the world.
I believe that you can always benefit financially from embracing new technologies early. It's no different when it comes to artificial intelligence. Learn how to use AI models as soon as possible, and you might be able to turn your skills into a new career.
