How I Used AI to Start New Business Online ?

How AI can help you start a busines in 2024?

In 2023, I discovered the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to not just solve problems but also to create something that I can sell. This sparked a curiosity to start small business by using the transformative power of AI.

My Initial Explorations with AI Creativity

My initial start in AI involved exploring its creative capabilities. Tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Bing image generators became my playground, allowing me to translate my imagination into captivating visuals and compelling text formats. These experiments laid the foundation for my future ventures.

1. Printing and Selling AI Art on Various Products(Print on Demand)

The boundless potential of AI became clear to me when I realized it could generate any design, given the appropriate prompts. This led me to start with different trends in T-shirt prints and other art forms that could be modified, printed on various products, and sold. I chose platforms like Redbubble and Teepublic to showcase my designs.

It's important to note that AI-generated art cannot be sold directly due to potential copyright infringements, and sometimes, the AI might not generate the art perfectly. 

However, I found a workaround by drawing inspiration from renowned artists and their best-selling products, recreating them in my unique style with the assistance of AI.

I also leveraged ChatGPT to suggest copyright-free quotes that could be printed directly onto T-shirts. Furthermore, I sought AI's help in crafting appealing, catchy product titles and descriptions. To ensure the effectiveness of my product-related posts across various social media platforms, I used AI to customize the product titles to suit different audience types on each platform.

This strategy bore fruit in less than a month, with approximately 18 sales. While this might not seem like a large number, it was a promising start for a business venture that required no initial investment, all thanks to AI.

2. AI-Generated Wall Art Business

The versatility of AI Art is such that it can be transformed into wall art. With AI, the possibilities are limitless, and I ventured into various art styles. While there's no definitive guide to the kind of art people prefer for their walls, I observed vintage and watercolor-style paintings that are quite popular among buyers. These styles, with their natural appearance, were well-received. The fact that these were AI-generated allowed me to price them affordably, making them accessible to a wider audience.

I initiated the sale of these wall arts on AI Art Shop, a dedicated platform for AI Artists. This platform not only connected me with buyers from various countries but also took care of the logistics, including printing and shipping. Securing my first sale on this platform was challenging and required me to market my work across various social media platforms to get the attention of potential buyers. However, the effort was worthwhile, considering it required no monetary investment on my part.

3. Writing with AI

Despite having some experience in writing, there were times when I struggled to find the right words or phrases to articulate my thoughts. This is a common challenge many writers, particularly beginners, encounter. In these instances, I turned to AI. I would instruct the AI on what I wanted to convey and how I wanted it, and the AI would generate results accordingly. These AI-generated texts served as a reference point, which I would then rewrite, thereby enhancing the quality and content of my articles.

However, it's important to note that these AI-generated texts should not be copied line by line and pasted directly into your article without a understanding of the content.

I noticed a significant improvement in my work; it helped me transform casual viewers into dedicated readers. I began to notice a surge in returning readers for my articles on both Medium and my Website, and my Read Ratio for each article improved as well.

I understand that some may disagree with the use of AI in article writing, considering it ineffective. However, I would like to clarify that blindly copying and pasting AI-generated texts into your article without a proper understanding is indeed an incorrect use of AI. It's crucial to edit the article because AI may occasionally generate inaccurate information. Therefore, always verify the information first.

4. SOLD AI Art as NFT

It was August 2023 when I listed my AI Arts as NFT on OpenSea. Although I initially did not earn much from my NFTs, it was frustrating, but still, it was better than nothing. The initial journey was not without its challenges, but I chose to view it as a stepping stone rather than a setback.

This diverse community exposed me to unique artistic styles and offered invaluable feedback from other artists. This exchange of ideas and the supportive environment played an instrumental role in shaping my creative vision and refining my product offerings.

5. AI-Powered Storytelling and Visuals on YouTube

By my imagination and AI's artistic capabilities to create unique scenarios. These included videos and images depicting intriguing concepts like the Presence of water on Mars and representations of how people from different countries used to look.

This trend, which you might have already noticed on YouTube, started as a personal curiosity. I began sharing these creations on social media and was pleasantly surprised by the positive response they gained. Encouraged by this, I established a YouTube channel(AI Artz) as a dedicated platform to share these AI-generated works.

Endless Possibilities with AI

My journey is far from over. The possibilities unlocked by AI are boundless, and I encourage you to explore beyond these limited paths. Remember, consistency is key. Continuously refine your offerings, get feedback, and leverage the ever-evolving AI landscape to stay ahead of the curve.

My specific ventures like YouTube videos and AI art serve as examples, but the underlying principles are universal. Whether you dream of launching an online store, crafting personalized jewelry, or writing captivating blogs, AI can be your potent ally. But don't hesitate to create your own unique path. The future belongs to those who dare to innovate, and AI is the compass guiding us toward a world of boundless possibilities.
