The claim
Charge clients for custom AI artwork made with Midjourney or Stable Diffusion..
Rarely pitched as a standalone hustle any more because image tools are now built into everyday apps.
How we checked
This is an evidence check, not a hands-on test. We reviewed platform rules and policies, published earnings data, regulator warnings and reporting: 2 sources, listed below.
Costs
- Start-up cost
- £8–£40/month (Midjourney or similar plus optional editing software); platform fees ~20%
- Effort
- medium
What the evidence shows
Demand is real but cheap: Fiverr's own data puts basic AI image jobs at roughly $15–$50, and buyers can increasingly make the same images themselves. Many art communities and clients are hostile to AI art, so it rarely fetches traditional commission prices. People who add real editing, consistent characters or brand work can win repeat clients, while pure prompting is a race to the bottom.
Realistic earnings: Occasional £10–£50 jobs; beginners often make £0–£100/month, with more possible if you specialise and gather reviews.
Limitations
Earnings ranges are typical outcomes for a beginner, drawn from the sources; some people do far better or worse. Platform rules change often, so check the latest policy before you start.
