Hey everyone! I’m excited to be part of this community and wanted to share my results to help spark some ideas for your own portfolios. My primary business is Print on Demand with Merch by Amazon where I hit €3,200 in profit this month alone. However, I’ve also spent the last three years building a stock portfolio as a side hustle. Even though I only put in a maximum of one hour per day, I’ve generated $4,893 on Adobe Stock so far. I also post on Dreamstime and Freepik where I recently earned a €194 bonus for freepik (dreamstime don't pay enough but it's still cool to get $100 back, but over more than a year 😅). 📈 My Core Strategy: Volume and Top-Performing Niches 🎯 In my experience, quantity is the number one factor that determines your success. You need a high volume of uploads to see real momentum. While I experiment with many things, my absolute best performers are backgrounds, textures, and food. I highly recommend looking into emerging industries that people are searching for right now such as podcasts, crypto, robotics, gaming, etc. These are high-growth areas where the demand for fresh AI content is massive. 🤖 Leveraging Seasonality and High-Value Assets 🎨 Seasonality is another huge part of my strategy. You should already be preparing for upcoming events and holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and Chinese New Year. These specific events perform well year after year without fail. I also find that creating bundles of PNG with transparent background elements or vectors is a great way to provide value. I use vectorizer.ai to simplify the process of turning my generations into clean vector files which saves me a ton of time. ⚡ Expanding Beyond Stock and Final Thoughts 🌍 Don't forget about other platforms like Displate. Even though their upload system can be a bit of a headache, I have one specific poster that took off and now earns me $100 to $300 every month on total autopilot. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s progress this year! ✨

To make your image more unique, try changing one or more of these: - The subject (age, gender, ethnicity, number of people) - The setting (home, office, outdoor, studio, city, nature) - The emotion or concept (calm, stress, success, focus, joy) - The camera angle or framing (close-up, wide shot, side angle) - The lighting or color style (bright, moody, soft, high contrast) Small changes = completely different images.
