📖 The Hustle
People love seeing themselves reimagined as fantasy characters, historical figures, or in artistic styles. Use Midjourney's image-to-image features and DALL-E to transform customer photos into custom portraits. Charge $25-50 per portrait and upsell framed prints. The emotional value of personalized art drives word-of-mouth referrals.
🚀 First Step
Create 5 sample portraits showing different styles using your own photos, then set up an Etsy listing at $35 per custom portrait.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Develop 5-10 distinct style options like watercolor, cyberpunk, or Renaissance that clients can choose from
- Create a simple Google Form for clients to submit photos and style preferences
- Offer couple and family portrait packages at higher price points for larger orders
