And For Starters, It’s so profitable
If you’re new to making money online, you know it’s tough to figure out where to even start from.
I can relate because I had to try a thousand and one side hustles before figuring out what I was doing wrong.
And believe me, those times were so damn depressing.

So before I spill the beans on this new money-making skill, here’s a shout-out to everyone hustling online—keep pushing, you got this!
Now here’s something to know about passive income.
It’s not a magic wand you just wave to make money while you sleep.
It’s an exchange.
The internet is like a marketplace and you won’t make sustainable income if you don’t have anything to offer.

Now that makes a lot of sense.
Talk about
But hear me out!
This new skill changes everything, because you no longer have to be a skilled professional to make real passive income.
And this skill will definitely make the new wave of profitable online business owners.
Just recently AI became a worldwide sensation.

So you guessed it already, the skill we’ll be talking about today is Artificial intelligence.
And no, you don’t need to be a nerd locked in a basement to understand how artificial intelligence works well enough to make money from it.

So for goodness sake, let your doubting thomas lie.
Now, like I said, passive income is not a Magic wand.
And the same goes for AI.
So yes, while I’ll be sharing a very profitable AI skill and how you can make money from it, I also want to be upfront with the truth.
Because without your
And now that we’ve established that human creativity is still a major factor for making passive income even with AI, let’s discuss what this skill is.
Now with AI, you can go through one of these two routes.
Now, from my experience, learning how Midjourney is a much more profitable skill to learn as you’ll soon see.
So that’s what we’re going to be focusing on for this story.
And for those who don’t know, Midjourney is an AI art generator that creates super realistic images from simple prompts.

For example, if I type in a simple prompt like:
Image Generated by AI
It’s amazing right?
It used to take real artists weeks to come up with art as creative as this but now AI does all the work in seconds.
And while I know it sucks for these artists with real talent, we can’t ignore the fact that Midjourney really is awesome.
Because if Midjourney can take in words and spit out an image so awesome, why does it need me?
Well that’s because, Midjourney is a perfect example of the Garbage in, Garbage out principle.
You could type in a random prompt for a pattern and you get this.

But then, you type in the right prompt and get this as your output.
Image Generated by AI
I’m just trying to say that once you master the art of writing high quality prompts, the better the images you’ll be able to get from Midjourney.
Prompts are like the command Midjourney has to follow for your image creation.
It’s that simple.
So you caught me, the skill of today’s story is Midjourney prompt engineering.
In today’s story, I’ll be sharing 2 passive income ideas you can start today just by knowing how Midjourney works.
Then I’ll show you how to actually learn this new skill.
Now, The concept of marketplaces for passive income runs chills down my spine.
The fact that some genius founders already

It is mind blowing.
And I could go on to list hundreds of marketplaces to make passive income online but today’s Midjourney’s skill restrains that.
So, I’ll be sticking with just marketplaces where you can sell your Midjourney generated art work.

Plus, you don’t have any excuses because ChatGPT can create the entire text for your recipe book.
I’m currently working on this side hustle and I’ll update you all soon on how it goes.
Amazon is by far the largest ecommerce marketplace in the world and that includes books.
And just for precision, I found this recipe book on Amazon,

Once AI became a thing, I knew there was money to be made, so I rushed over to my drawing board to hatch out a plan.
I decided right away that I was going to use these AI art generators to create high quality vector art that I could then sell as bundles on marketplaces.
My idea was perfect because the ideas I went on to find for this side hustle were endless.
I could create
And whenever I ran out of niche ideas for these creative elements, I just had to ask ChatGPT.
From running my shop on Creative Fabrica, I’ve been able to get over 322 followers, and have made over

Keep in mind, I’m just scratching the surface with Creative Fabrica for these bundles, there’s
Well I’ve come to see why that makes so much sense.
In a world where everyone just wants to dig and take, the people who make the most money give instead.

So yes, while you can build a very passive business from selling on Marketplaces, you can make even more money from teaching other people how to use Midjourney.
This idea is such a big deal and that’s why I keep sharing it on my page.

So no, YouTube isn’t for adults who just won’t grow up, it’s a money maker.
Besides, with Midjourney is a hot topic right now on YouTube, there’s no reason why you can’t build something profitable on YouTube.

So yes, YouTube is a money maker.
And Just for the ideas, on a Midjourney channel, you could be selling a bundle of all your Midjourney prompts and I can almost see no reasons why people won’t die to buy from you.
Another way you could monetize your Midjourney knowledge once you’ve learnt how to create those stunning images is through courses.
I talked about this idea in my last story and I’m still putting it out there.
Once you learn this skill and become confident enough, you should create a course.
Now that includes a course for Midjourney.
I know you were waiting to hear me talk of a marketplace for courses.
And they infact exist.
Two of the best course marketplaces allow anyone to create accounts and upload Courses for free.
And they get a lot of students, in the millions.
One of them is Udemy with over 99 million visitors every month.
Udemy's Home Page
The other marketplace is Skillshare with over 6.5 million visitors.

And read my lips, they allow even beginners to upload Courses and make passive income.
I once tried selling courses on Udemy before, in fact, that was how I made my first dollar online.
And just in case you’re guessing, I used just my phone for the entire course production.
While I was still working on this idea, I made over $125 and here’s a screenshot of one of my payouts on Udemy.

Remember, it’s a Skill you have to build and like I said, making passive income has to be a transaction.
You give something valuable and get paid in return.
By learning how to create high quality Prompts and images with Midjourney, you’ll basically be learning a very high in demand skill that can then go on to make you sustainable passive income.

Well, it still is, you just have to choose your own pill.

Or just hours, learning from people who have spent the upfront time already.
To be honest with you guys, I took the first route and learned everything I know about AI art generation from YouTube but it took me months to know what I know now.

1. Start your creative shop on Marketplaces
This is my favorite idea on today’s list and for a reason. It’s so profitable and is by far the easiest to set up.Now, The concept of marketplaces for passive income runs chills down my spine.
The fact that some genius founders already
- Did the hardwork
- And brought together your dream buyers all in one place for you to sell to them

It is mind blowing.
And I could go on to list hundreds of marketplaces to make passive income online but today’s Midjourney’s skill restrains that.
So, I’ll be sticking with just marketplaces where you can sell your Midjourney generated art work.
First, you can create recipe cookbooks and sell them on Amazon KDP.
You basically use Midjourney to- Create the entire images for your book,
- Compile it into a PDF on Canva
- And publish it on Amazon.

Plus, you don’t have any excuses because ChatGPT can create the entire text for your recipe book.

And just for precision, I found this recipe book on Amazon,
- Was published in January of this year
- Now with over 25 ratings

Plus, Recipe books are just one of the many books you could be selling on Amazon KDP with Midjourney.
There’s
- Comic books

- Anime books
- And much more.
Second, you can sell clipart and creative elements on Etsy and Creative Fabrica
This is one of the ideas on this list that I already do myself.Once AI became a thing, I knew there was money to be made, so I rushed over to my drawing board to hatch out a plan.
I decided right away that I was going to use these AI art generators to create high quality vector art that I could then sell as bundles on marketplaces.
My idea was perfect because the ideas I went on to find for this side hustle were endless.
I could create
- Clipart
- Patterns
- Wallpapers

Keep in mind, I’m just scratching the surface with Creative Fabrica for these bundles, there’s

- Design bundles
- Design cut
- And even Pinterest for marketing.
2. Teach other people how to create high quality images with Midjourney
Remember the never fading story we were told about the Gold rush and how the real rich men during their time were the tool sellers.Well I’ve come to see why that makes so much sense.
In a world where everyone just wants to dig and take, the people who make the most money give instead.

So yes, while you can build a very passive business from selling on Marketplaces, you can make even more money from teaching other people how to use Midjourney.
This idea is such a big deal and that’s why I keep sharing it on my page.
If you want to build a truly passive income business,
- Become an expert at something
- Package your knowledge and sell it or make money in some way.
Create a YouTube channel and teach others for free
For some reason, no one is really talking about how profitable YouTube is as a business.

I’m talking about
- The Billions of monthly traffic on YouTube
- And their insanely profitable inbuilt Ad program
So no, YouTube isn’t for adults who just won’t grow up, it’s a money maker.
Besides, with Midjourney is a hot topic right now on YouTube, there’s no reason why you can’t build something profitable on YouTube.
In fact, I found a channel that
- Shares Midjourney tips
- Was launched just this year

And Based on social blade stats, this channel approximately makes $29.9k per year passively.

- Second, with an audience on YouTube, this should be an easy income stream to add to the equation.
- Last is Marketplaces.
I know you were waiting to hear me talk of a marketplace for courses.
And they infact exist.
Two of the best course marketplaces allow anyone to create accounts and upload Courses for free.
And they get a lot of students, in the millions.

And just in case you’re guessing, I used just my phone for the entire course production.
- No camera
- Or fancy filming setup
- Just a phone screen recording in a tutorial format
- An Iphone or a good phone camera
- And an Airpod with quality sound
While I was still working on this idea, I made over $125 and here’s a screenshot of one of my payouts on Udemy.
