Speaker A
exactly what I'm doing, which is basically the laziest way to make money with AI. It's known as the PNG business model. I coined it, okay? It's perfect for lazy people who want to use AI to make an income. Faceless. We're
Speaker A
literally using AI to generate images in the form of PNG files for cash. Okay, this is the breakdown. Really straightforward. We have a PDF file.
Speaker A
Inside this file is a PNG. We give that to the customer and we get paid for it.
Speaker A
Pretty straightforward. It sounds weird, but let me explain. So, we sell this all across the internet, but a very popular place we start selling it is on Etsy.
Speaker A
Okay? And as you can see here, we sell what's called clip art and art prints.
Speaker A
Okay? I'll give you an example of a store. This right here is a successful store called Northprints. And using this estimator revenue tool, we can see it's done $3.7 million in a few years. And it averages 5.4K a month. Okay? And all
Speaker A
they sell again is what I just showed you. Digital PNG files anywhere from $3 to $6 to $10 as you can see. Again, really straightforward stuff. You can see here in the reviews, people buy this stuff every single day. Someone just
Speaker A
bought this witch file as you can see. And if I scroll down here, the file type, the customer is receiving a PDF and they're paying 3.87 and it's a bestseller because it's Halloween, right? Pretty cool stuff. Okay. And as
Speaker A
you can see, the way this works is we have two listings, one niche. So when I showed you Halloween, you would have the clip art bundle where you sell for $4 to 5 a bundle of digital files. Keep watching. I'm going to show you exactly
Speaker A
how we use AI to make that and how we sell it across the internet. And then you can also have an art print which can then be sold physically to a customer for $50 to $90 and you can drastically
Speaker A
increase your revenue because as you guys can see here these are just digital. So the customer is going to print it out but you can also sell it in a frame. Okay. And I can show you more examples too. Here's another store in
Speaker A
1.5 years 47,000. They average 2,300 a month. Again selling simple digital files. Okay. These are made with AI.
Speaker A
Okay. I can show you another one. One more. And you can see here, Pixel Popsicles, 42,000 sales in 2.5 years, guys. 183K made. They're averaging 4.5K a month. Again, same process. Selling AI images in the form of PNGs. Again, you
Speaker A
don't have to show your face. It's perfect. You know, you one hour a day, you can generate these cute little images. It's a creative way and also lazy because you're not doing much work because websites, for example, like Etsy
Speaker A
get tons of traffic and people are buying it. As you can see here, 3rd of October, someone bought. They love to download. They buy. This is real, okay?
Speaker A
This is real. People are buying this stuff. There's photos. Look, people are printing it out. These are customer reviews. I love these gnomes. They printed it out. Okay, this is all real.
Speaker A
And that reminds me, here are some use cases, guys, why people are buying AI images in the form, okay, of a PNG, right? We have here someone who wants to bake. They need an outline to bake cookies. Okay, someone bought a PNG
Speaker A
design and now their cookies are in the shapes of these cute little ducklings. This was an AI design. Okay, here's another one. Someone bought basically these, um, wedding styled frames, these sublimation patterns of doves and leaves and it was printed out for a
Speaker A
wedding for events. Okay, crafty people, they're buying it out, they print it out. They don't feel like making it themselves. So, this is a whole market of crafty people, business owners who just want to buy from you for commercial
Speaker A
rights and it's high quality. Okay? They're not doing it free. If they were doing it free, this market wouldn't exist. So, before you run to the comments, just look at all this proof I'm showing you. Here's another one.
Speaker A
Someone bought these graphics for their ceramic business, all their plates, their mugs, their cups. They printed this out. It's like a mandala. Here's another example. Someone has a business with bags, grocery bags, tote bags. They bought the PNG images which were made
Speaker A
with AI and they printed them out on their bags. Here's another example. Okay, like I talked about AI image being printed out. Come back up here. You guys can see this person used it for an art print. As you can see, it's in frames.
Speaker A
The customer left a review. I use these graphics to make posters for my boy's hallways. I have four sons. Boom. Looks amazing, right? And in a nutshell, what I showed you, you know, one good listing selling, you know, these images can make
Speaker A
anywhere from 1,500 to 2K a month. Like one good best-selling listing like this, okay? And your goal is to get multiple of them. Okay? Rinse and repeat until you have many good listings and then you can expand on your own website,
Speaker A
diversify on TikTok, and use Pinterest as well. And that's exactly also what I do. So that's pretty much what the PNG business model is. Now you're wondering how do you make nice art files like this if you're not, you know, a designer,
Speaker A
you're not artistic. Well, I'll show you exactly what we use. It's a really good tool. And that tool is trenddesigns.com.
Speaker A
This tool basically finds all the trendy artist designs that are working and all you have to do is copy paste them into an AI image generator. So it just makes your life easier. You know, you don't have to be lost and confused
Speaker A
and you don't know how to start. So I highly recommend this. So for this example trending today, we'll do cozy gingerbread village. Pretty cool example. As you can see, it's researching trends. By the way, guys, this tool, if you want to use this to
Speaker A
also start selling PNGs for cash like this, I'll leave this link in the description down below. Okay, so as you can see, we're going to research trends.
Speaker A
And also guys, keep watching because I'm going to show you in real time how we make AI images with these designs. So as you can see here, we have some interesting ideas. So, what's a good good one? We can do an interesting one.
Speaker A
We'll do the here. Sugared bow accents for the holidays because as you guys know, Christmas is coming up. Everyone wants Christmas designs. Right here where it says copy. I'm going to press copy and it's going to basically give me
Speaker A
the prompt because again, you're not an artist. You don't even know how to use AI to make these designs. So, those two those are two things right there you don't know how know you don't know how to use because also you're lazy. So,
Speaker A
that's why we use a tool like this. So, I copy it and then we're going to open a tool, okay, called KD. Really good tool for generating clip art designs like this that we can sell. And again, if you
Speaker A
want to use this tool, KD AI, the link will be in the description. As you can see, once you have an account, you're going to want to be on the Aentic AI, which is automatic generation. It's very smart. All I'm going to do is paste my
Speaker A
prompt and press generate. And as you can see, it's going to open a project and it's going to start making us those image files that we're then going to start selling. So, let's just wait. Give it like a minute or two to generate. As
Speaker A
you can see, here's our image being made by AI. AI is doing all the work, by the way, guys. Hands-free, very lazy. So, give that a second. So, as you guys could see, we have our stunning bows here.
Speaker A
Okay, really cute little bows for the holidays. And then from there, what I did is I pressed this purple button, AI image board, and then I said, "Make me five more." So, as you can see, it's in the process of generating me multiple
Speaker A
bows because, again, our goal is to make a bundle of PNG images we're going to sell all over the internet or on Etsy.
Speaker A
For example, like this H
Speaker A
way, guys, if you want to use this tool, I'll leave the link in description, but let me generate a few and I'll get back to you on that. All right, guys. Check this out. So, as you can see, I made a
Speaker A
few more. I'm not going to make like 40 of them because I don't want to make this video too long, but you get the point. As you guys can see, I made a bunch of them. And then down here, I
Speaker A
told it to make me an Etsy thumbnail with all of these. So, look, I highlighted all of them using KD's highlight feature. And it basically made me an optimized thumbnail like this.
Speaker A
Sugared holiday bows pack of 20. Look how good this looks, right? And the reason why you need this, it's called an a thumbnail is if you look at our competitor, their first image here is the thumbnail showing the customer
Speaker A
everything they get, the number of images inside, and the price. Right? So, as you can see here, we're going to use all of this for our own listing. Okay.
Speaker A
So, as you can see here, all this I can just download all of this here. Quick export. I can download them all as PGs cuz this is the PNG business model. And obviously, you want to make more cuz
Speaker A
this is not You want at least 20. I wouldn't recommend less than 20 for a pack. These guys have way too much. But I'm going to show you guys how they're selling to the customer a digital file in the form of a PDF. Okay? So, pay
Speaker A
close attention. Don't skip the video. Keep watching. So once you download everything, you're going to want to have all your PGs in a Google Drive like this. As you can see, I kind of already did it for you like this. And then right
Speaker A
here, you can name it. Go to share, share link. Make sure it's enabled to anyone with link. You're going to copy that, okay? Because the customers who buy from you are going to access this link to get the files to print out for
Speaker A
their own use. You're going to then go into a Google doc file which is your thank you card because as you guys could see the PDF is actually a thank you card for the customer. And here this was made
Speaker A
with with Chad GBT or Claude. I just told it to make a thank you card template. So it says thank you so much.
Speaker A
How to download loving your clip art. Leave me five stars. Need help. Right right here where it says Google Drink Google Drive link below. I'm just gonna paste it just like that. Okay. Done.
Speaker A
Boom. And as you guys can see, this is now this. This is now the file. Okay, file. We're going to go to download as PDF. So, we're going to download that.
Speaker A
And that's the PDF the customers are going to get. So, they receive a thank you card with instructions. And all they have to do is press this link to get access to the AI images we made for them
Speaker A
to print out. Does that make sense, guys? Really straightforward. And once that's done, you can then go on to Etsy or any any website you want to sell these clip arts on. Here, we can upload the images of the thumbnail. we made
Speaker A
using KD. We can then go down. We can do the category. So, I can type in clip art. As you can see, I'm doing this all one hand, guys, because again, I'm lazy.
Speaker A
This is a lazy side hustle. This is a digital item. Here, where it says drag file, that's where we're going to put our clip art PDF pack. And then description, link, everything we need, and we can publish this and start making
Speaker A
sales. You know, you can put the price, $5, $6, and you know, set the quantity, and you're ready to go. This is pretty much how we made it. One last thing I want to mention, guys. Literally, you can say it's made with an AI image
Speaker A
generator and people won't care because they're buying for convenience, right? If you scroll down here, all these people, they don't care how it's made.
Speaker A
They find it pretty, they find it cute, they're going to buy. Okay? So, before you wonder, oh, they can do it themselves. They're not doing themselves. This is the proof, guys. So, this is in a nutshell the laziest way to
Speaker A
make money with AI, the PNG business model. Um, I'm giving it all away for free. This is literally how you do it.
Speaker A
You know, from the product research on trendedesigns.com to using KD agentic AI to make your clip art. By the way, KD and trended designs are all going to be in the link in description and pinned comment and then
Speaker A
posting it on Etsy and any other website you want to sell it on, guys. So, that's pretty much the video. And also, if you still need more support, there's also a group in the description. So guys, thanks so much for watching.
