Make Money with AI: Steal My AI Image Generator to Earn Online

Last week, I came across something shocking.

Someone was selling one illustration for $60 with a delivery time of 10 days! Not just one, I saw multiple people selling the exact thing with prices ranging between 35-60 dollars per illustration.

Then I found subscription services charging $24/month and others $2.50 per credit just to generate basic story visuals.

I thought: “There has to be a better way.”

So I spent 30 hours reverse-engineering these services, testing AI models, and building something that does the job better, for free.

Today, I’m giving you the complete tool and showing you three proven methods to turn it into an online income stream.

Before We Start

Let me be direct. I don’t do scammy “make money online” content. I share real strategies based on actual research and testing.

If you’re not willing to invest 2-3 hours to learn, install, and test what I’m about to show you, stop here. This is an advanced method requiring some effort.

Addressing the Haters

I know what’s coming. People will say:

• “This is oversaturated.”
• “Everyone’s doing AI art now.”
• “You can’t succeed with this.”

Ignore them. These are the same people who:

• Try for five minutes and quit
• Never actually test anything themselves
• Scroll through their phones, leaving negative comments

If you implement this correctly, put in the work, and provide real value, you can succeed. I’ve built multiple businesses this way.

Don’t let negative voices stop you before you even start.

What You’re Getting Today

I built a complete AI Story Visual Generator that took me over 30 hours to develop.

You’ll get:

1. The full tool (ready to install & set up in under 3 minutes)
2. Three different methods to make money using it
3. Keyword research list for growing your business

Step 1: Prerequisites

Before installing the tool, you need two things:

1. Install VS Code (Visual Studio Code): Head to code.visualstudio.com and download it. Don’t worry; we won’t be coding anything. We need the application to run the tool.
2. Install Python: Go to python.org/downloads and grab the latest version. Installation is straightforward; just follow the prompts.

Step 2: Installing The Tool

Open VS Code. You’ll see an empty screen. Then:

1. Download the project files
2. Unzip the downloaded folder
3. In VS Code, click File → Open Folder
4. Navigate to the extracted folder and click Select Folder

You’re now inside the project.

Set Up the Virtual Environment

Open the terminal in VS Code, then click Terminal → New Terminal.

Run these commands exactly as shown:

python -m venv venv

Wait a few seconds. You’ll see a new venv directory appear in your project.

Now, to activate the virtual environment, run this:

venv\scripts\activate

You’ll see (venv) appear at the start of your terminal line, like this:

This means your virtual environment is active.

Install Requirements

Run this single command to install all necessary packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Wait for the installation to complete (takes about 30-60 seconds).

Set Up the Local Database

Run these two commands:

python manage.py makemigrations

Then:

python manage.py migrate

Now, the App is all set up with the database created locally.

Launch the Application

Run this:

python manage.py runserver

You’ll see a local server URL (something like http://127.0.0.1:8000/).

Hold Ctrl and click that link.

Boom. The Story Visual Generator opens in your browser.

How the Tool Works: A Quick Demo

Let me walk you through creating your first story project.

Create a New Project

1. Click Create New Project
2. Name it (e.g., “My First Story”)
3. Select a style (Wimpy Kid, 3D Pixar, etc.)
4. Click Create Project

Extract Scenes and Characters

The first thing you need is a story with clear scenes. I used ChatGPT with this prompt: “Write a kids’ story with Sam and a cat. Five visual scenes with clear character descriptions.”

Copy the generated story, paste it into the input box, and click Extract Scenes & Characters.

Now, the tool analyzes your story and automatically extracts:

• All characters mentioned
• All distinct scenes
• Character descriptions for each scene

Generate Character Images

Click on your first character (e.g., “Sam”). You’ll see two options:

1. Upload an image
2. Generate with AI

I recommend generating with AI. But here’s the critical trick: Add “no text, no background” to the prompt, to generate clean character images you can use across multiple scenes.

Click Generate and wait 10-15 seconds.

Generate Scene Images

Let’s open Scene 1. You’ll see:

• Scene description
• Characters present in the scene
• AI-generated prompt

Critical step: Use character placeholders correctly. Instead of writing “Sam and a cat,” write “{Sam} and {orange_cat}” using the exact character names from your character list.

This makes the AI reference the same character images across all scenes, maintaining perfect consistency.

Edit and Refine

Not happy with a scene? Use the Edit Image feature.

For example, type “make it at night” and click Apply. The AI modifies the existing scene while maintaining character consistency.

Three Methods to Make Money With This Tool

Method 1: Freelancing Services

Remember those $35-$60 gigs I showed you at the start? You can now compete directly with them.

Your advantages:

• Generate images in minutes, not days
• Perfect character consistency across all illustrations
• Track costs precisely and offer competitive pricing

Where to sell:

• Fiverr
• Upwork
• Freelancer
• Your own website

Pricing strategy: Check your cost tracking. If each image costs you $0.30, you can charge $10-$20 per character illustration and still make excellent margins.

Method 2: Build a Micro-SaaS

Services like StoryBook Creator and ChildBook.AI charge $24/month or $2.50 per credit.

Here’s the truth: most of them don’t produce results as good as this tool with the latest AI models.

You have the complete codebase, and with some simple development work, you can turn this into a full SaaS product. Here’s what you need:

1. Add user authentication
2. Implement payment processing
3. Create subscription tiers
4. Deploy to the cloud
5. Market it as your own SaaS product

Potential revenue: Even 100 users at $15/month = $1,500 monthly recurring revenue.

Not a Developer, or Don’t know how to build a SaaS?

I’ve got you covered. I created a complete course teaching you how to build and launch SaaS products on WordPress. Check out my WordPress SaaS Course, where I walk you through the entire process from setup to payment integration to deployment.

I’m giving you the foundation with this tool. The course gives you the roadmap to turn it into a profitable business.

Method 3: Write and Sell Your Own Books

This is exactly what I’m doing right now. I’ve been working on a children’s book for 2-3 months, and the biggest bottleneck was creating consistent visuals.

Now I solved it. And so can you.

The process:

1. Write your story
2. Generate all characters once
3. Create scenes with perfect consistency
4. Export high-resolution images
5. Layout your book (Canva, InDesign, etc.)
6. Publish on Amazon KDP, your website, or both

Why this works: Self-published children’s books on Amazon regularly make $500-$2,000/month in passive income. The barrier was always the cost and time of illustrations. That barrier is gone.
