3 digital products you can make and sell using AI
Did you know people are making over $20,000 per month selling digital products on Etsy? It’s a beautiful business model. Make something once and sell it infinitely with no extra work.
To get involved in this lucrative industry, you’re going to need a killer digital product. Fortunately for us, we can use AI tools to help us make them. Here are 3 digital products you could start making (and selling) today:
1. Clip art
This shop is making over $29k per month selling clip art. It has made over $3m in revenue since it opened.
Clip art is a timeless digital product that many people use to spruce up their designs.
We can use Midjourney to create stunning graphics that can be sold as Clip Art on Etsy. If you don’t know how to use Midjourney, then check out this Midjourney guide.
In essence, Midjourney allows you to create beautiful art from very simple prompts. For example, let’s say you want to make clip art for restaurants to use on their menus and social media. You could use the prompt “clip art for burgers”. Then repeat this for every single popular food item and you have a package of food-related clip art you can sell on Etsy.
For more examples of prompts you can use to create clip art, check out our full article here.
2. Virtual Backgrounds
Since the pandemic in 2020, the amount of people working from home has skyrocketed. Some people would prefer to keep their home private, so the market for virtual backgrounds is growing rapidly.
We can use Midjourney to create realistic-looking backgrounds. Here are just a few examples.
3. Mockup Photos
There are hundreds of thousands of e-commerce businesses online that sell posters, phone covers, t-shirts and other printed products. What do all these businesses have in common? They use mockup photos to sell their products.
We can use Midjourney to create all kinds of interesting mockup photos, which we can bundle up and sell on Etsy.

What is AutoGPT (and how do I make my own)?
When you give ChatGPT a prompt, it gives you an answer. With AutoGPT, you give it a mission and it will continuously prompt itself to complete tasks until it has achieved that mission. It is essentially a little robot minion that can complete tasks for you.
The benefit should be obvious. This AI agent can autonomously complete tasks, freeing up valuable time and resources.
AutoGPT can access the internet for information gathering, manage long-term and short-term memory, generate text using GPT-4, and interact with popular websites and platforms. Completing menial tasks will never be the same again.
What can you do with AutoGPT?
People are already doing some crazy things with AutoGPT. Here are just a few examples:
- It can create apps
- It can be a machine that automatically completes every task on your to-do list
- It can analyze recent news and prepare podcast agendas
How can I make my own?
The best part about AutoGPT is that you can set it up yourself, and have your own robot minion doing your bidding for you in less than 30 minutes.
