There are plenty of places to sell digital artwork online—and that includes AI-generated art. You can list products in more than one place to maximize your sales. The key is knowing where to sell them and what to expect when you do.
We’re big believers in digital products, and we’re eager to help you build multiple income streams with artificial intelligence. With that in mind, we’ve created this list of 7 places to sell AI-generated art, including tips about each marketplace’s terms and pricing. We’ve included some sites that specialize in print on demand products, since those are ideal for AI images.
#1: Etsy
Etsy is one of the largest online retailers and a terrific place to sell AI-generated artwork. People on Etsy sell both printable and print on demand (POD) products, as well as physical products, created with help from AI tools such as WALLE-2.
The advantage of selling with Etsy is that you’ll be able to access the site’s huge existing audience and all its SEO advantages. Many POD providers integrate with Etsy, so it’s easy to offer that option to your customers if you choose to. Both printable and POD products can be personalized to increase your sales.
Etsy charges a $0.20 fee per listing and 6.5% of the purchase price for each sale. Be aware that the listing fee is recurring if you turn on automatic renewals.
#2: Redbubble
Redbubble is an online market for artists who want to sell the images they create as POD products. They have a huge selection of products available, including large-size wall art, apparel, accessories, pet products, and more.
Redbubble will integrate with your Etsy shop, so you can create AI-generated artwork and designs and allow your customers to put your design on the product of their choosing. Adding POD products is one of the best ways we know to expand your customer base and increase your profits.
It’s free to set up a Redbubble account and there are no listing fees. Instead, you’ll pay a flat monthly fee based on your sales. You can see the full rate table here.
#3: Wirestock
Wirestock is an online marketplace where creators can sell their AI generated artwork, photos, and videos. What we like about it is that it’s a place specifically tailored to AI creations and even has tools to generate art using artificial intelligence.
One thing that sets Wirestock apart is that it’s a community, too. They post regular challenges to encourage users to experiment with AI. There are dozens of themes you can use to inspire your AI artwork.
Wirestock works on a tiered pricing system. The basic plan, which is free, will get you 5 AI image generations and 5 market listings per month. The premium plan is $7.99 per month and gets you 100 images and marketing listings, and the Premium AI plan costs $14.99 per month and gives you 1,000 images per month.
#4: Shutterstock
Shutterstock is a massive website with millions of images available for sale. It’s a place where professional photographers and artists sell their work and you can sell your AI-generated images and artwork there, too.
You’ll need to sign up to be a seller, which you can do for free. You should be aware that Shutterstock works on a royalty basis. The more you sell, the more you’ll earn. For example, beginning sellers will earn 15% on the first 100 images they license.
The maximum royalty for images and videos is 40%. You can get there by licensing 25,000 or more images or videos through Shutterstock.
#5: Artsi.ai
Artsi.ai is a platform where artists can sell their artwork directly to consumers. Since there’s no intermediary, you can list any artwork you want to sell and set your own prices.
Even a quick browse of Artsi.ai reveals a huge array of whimsical and breathtaking artwork. It’s quick and easy to set up an account—and you can do it for free! Once you have an account, you can start listing your creations for sale.
The only fee with Artsi.ai is a 5% fee that is earned when you make a sale. You keep 95% of your listing price. That means you can adjust your prices accordingly to account for the fee. You can earn a lot of money selling on Artsi.ai!
#6: Printify
Printify is a print on demand provider that has a huge catalog of items available for printing. They have tons of apparel options, including hats, t-shirts, bathing suits, and even baby clothes. They also have accessories and home décor items.
Creating an account on Printify is free. The service integrates seamlessly with Etsy, Shopify, and other online marketplaces. That means you can sell POD products in your Etsy shop and Printify will fulfill the orders and ship them to your customers.
Printify has a free plan that will let you have up to 5 shops and unlimited product designs. You can upgrade to the Premium Plan for $24.99 per month and get up to 10 stores, unlimited product designs, and up to a 20% discount on products.
#7: Printful
Printful is a big online marketplace where many creators sell their AI-generated artwork. They have 342 premium products to choose from, mostly apparel and accessories.
One of the things that sets Printful apart is that you can choose from a variety of printing methods. These include all-over printing, UV printing, sublimation, and even embroidery.
It’s difficult to give a clear idea of Printful’s pricing since it’s based on the products you design and how they’re printed. The most important thing to know is that you get to set your own prices. You’ll need to charge enough to cover Printful’s product price and printing fees, plus shipping. Your retail price should include all of the previous items plus a profit margin, so you can pay yourself.
