Unlock Your Potential: Realistic Ways to Make Money with AI

Hello my friend!

This year’s explosion of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E 3 have sparked an AI gold rush…

And many are being lured in by extravagant promises of quick and easy riches.

From my perspective—specifically for content creators, there is no doubt that these tools have completely changed the game.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to navigate this new landscape through a realistic lens.

Realistic Ways to Make Money with AI

The Creative Explosion of 2023

I’m not being hyperbolic here…

2023 has been a revolutionary year for creativity.

The power is truly in everybody’s hands now. The question is, what will we do with it?

I’ve been a creator in some sense of the word since the late-90’s, and I can honestly say:

I’ve never been more excited about the creative possibilities that are in front of us.

Generative AI is the reason I decided to give Awesome Content Creator another shot—if you didn’t know, I actually built the original website back in 2018… wrote a number of posts, then stopped.

I had chosen an extremely broad niche in Content Creation, and at the time, I didn’t have a good plan for how I was going to keep up with so many creative interests at the same time.

Enter 2023 and generative AI.

Now, with this incredible new high-performing creative assistant who could help me brainstorm, build, and create at a moment’s notice and without any hesitation, I knew I could do it.

I fully rebuilt the website last month, and have been building out the foundational elements this month.

Noteworthy Videos Worth Your Attention

Keeping with the spirit of generative AI, here are a few videos that show the power that comes with these innovative tools.

The first one is timely—as Adobe just had their Adobe Max conference this past week. There were some huge announcements, and this video by Matt Wolfe does a great jump breaking them down.

Adobe Goes ALL IN with AI: Huge Updates — Matt Wolfe

As an Adobe user, this is very exciting.

Key Takeaways Covered in the Video

  • Improved generative fill in Adobe Photoshop allows seamless blending, demonstrated by adding sunglasses to a photo.

  • Adobe Illustrator introduced features like identifying fonts in images and generating vector graphics using text prompts.

  • Adobe Premiere introduced a tool called "Descrypt" for text editing and filler word removal.

  • Adobe Express, similar to Canva, now has features like animations, transitions, and a text-to-template feature.

  • Adobe Firefly Image 2 model can generate realistic images, with features like style matching and background blurring.

  • Comparison of Firefly 2 with other software like Dolly 3, Stable Diffusion XL, and Mid Journey.

If you’ve heard of all of this AI stuff, but haven’t really taken a deep dive…. the next video is a great jump-starter on ChatGPT (or AI Chatbots in general), and what they can help you do:

32 ChatGPT Tips for Beginners in 2023! (Become a PRO!) — AI Foundations

Drake from AI Foundations provides a comprehensive guide on mastering ChatGPT.

He shares 32 tips for both AI enthusiasts and newcomers, covering topics such as prompt engineering, assigning roles to ChatGPT for varied responses, formatting outputs, generating to-do lists, and more.

An Exponential Revolution

Things are changing incredibly fast.

Groundbreaking innovation is an almost daily occurrence in 2023.

I’ll leave you with this:

Google is actively working generative AI into their image search.

The quality output is no Midjourney or DALL-E 3 yet… but as Matt Wolfe likes to say:

“This is the worst this is ever going to be.”

AI is here to stay, so it’s best to learn how to use and integrate these tools.
