My Passive Income Journey with AI Images
I’ve already earned over $300 uploading AI images to Adobe Stock. Right now, I’m making between $1 to $10 per day — completely passively. No design skills. No Photoshop. No fancy tools.
The Simple Strategy
Here’s the idea: Generate AI images, upload them to Adobe Stock, and get paid every time someone downloads your images. Simple, right?
But most people quit early. Not because the system doesn’t work, but because generating images manually is exhausting. That’s where automation comes in.
Why This Works
This is one of the easiest ways to start online passive income. You just need the right system — and that’s exactly what I’m about to show you.
Step 1: Prompt Research with ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT and ask: “What are the top stock image categories right now?”
- For each category, ask ChatGPT to generate 10 prompts.
- Save your prompt list as a .txt file. Aim for at least 100 prompts.
Congratulations — you’ve completed Step One.
Step 2: AI Image Generation with Adobe Firefly
- Use Adobe Firefly’s “Text to Image” tool to generate images from your prompt list.
- Don’t generate images one by one — automate the process!
Step 3: Automate with AutoFly
- Install AutoFly Chrome Extension.
- Upload your .txt prompt list and click Start.
- AutoFly will automatically feed each prompt into Firefly, generate images, download them, and provide a CSV with all image details.
This alone saves me hours every day.
Step 4: Select the Best & Upscale
- Go through your images and delete the worst 80%. Only upload your best work.
- Use tools like Gigapixel AI or Upscayl to upscale your images to meet Adobe Stock’s requirements.
Step 5: Upload to Adobe Stock
- Log in to your Adobe Stock Contributor account and upload your images.
- Use Adobe’s suggestions or metadatagen.com for titles, keywords, and descriptions.
Results: What Happened Next
At first, I saw no results. But after a few days of uploading consistently, the sales started. Now, I’m making between $1 to $30 per day, every day. Every image you upload keeps earning forever — that’s the power of passive income.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading too few images
- Forgetting to upscale
- Skipping keywords and metadata
- Using copyrighted topics (Marvel, celebrities, etc.)
Avoid these, and you’ll already be ahead of 90% of creators.
Why This Strategy Works
Stock platforms like Adobe need content. Every day, people are searching for specific images. If your image shows up — you get paid.
Most creators fail because they get stuck in the boring part — typing prompts, waiting for images, downloading one by one. That’s exactly why AutoFly is so powerful. It gives you your time back, eliminates the boring work, and makes the process fun again.
