Turning a Single AI Image into $500: My Passive Income Journey
Written on
My Profitable AI Image Journey
Hello, fellow entrepreneurs and digital enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to share a fascinating journey I undertook that unexpectedly evolved into a profitable passive income stream. You read that correctly — I earned over $500 within just three months by selling a single AI-generated image on Adobe Stock. Curious to learn more? Let’s dive into the details!
The Inspiration Behind the Success
This adventure began while I was browsing Adobe Stock, looking at various profiles and their insights. I noticed that some contributors were achieving remarkable success by selling AI-generated images. For instance, one profile showcased incredible download figures, often surpassing a thousand downloads weekly!
Now, if you do the calculations based on the minimum earnings per image, that could translate to around $300 monthly, all passively generated thanks to AI. This prompted me to ponder whether I could achieve similar success.
Creating the Automation Tool
With my programming background, I decided to take the initiative. I developed a straightforward Python scraper to analyze the titles of top-performing profiles on Adobe Stock and stored the data in a database.
This initial step was crucial as it laid the groundwork for my automation process.
Developing the Image Scraper
With my database ready, I created another script that allowed me to select any profile and automatically fetch image titles. Once I had the titles, I fed them into an AI image generator. I chose Midjourney, a robust tool that offers a subscription for generating images. At just $30 a month, it could produce up to 10,000 images — more than enough to sustain my project.
Generating Images with AI
My script transformed the scraped titles into prompts for Midjourney, seamlessly sending them to a designated Discord channel for image creation.
After Image Creation
However, my journey didn’t stop there. I needed to enhance the quality of the generated images. To simplify this, I automated the upscaling process using Discord bots that interacted with various upscaling options. I then bulk-downloaded the upscaled images from Midjourney.
Once downloaded, the images underwent a final quality enhancement using Topaz Gigapixel to ensure they met the standards for Adobe Stock submissions.

Final Steps: Uploading to Adobe Stock
At last, it was time to upload our carefully crafted images to Adobe Stock. This involved titling each image, tagging appropriately, and ensuring compliance with the platform’s submission guidelines. With everything set up, I could simply relax and wait for Adobe Stock's extensive user base to discover and purchase my creations.
And just like that, within three months, my initial investment of time and resources yielded a rewarding return of $503.20. This experience has shown me that with a bit of creativity and automation, passive income opportunities are indeed attainable.
