This is pretty cool, How much sales do you usually get? You have any marketing channels?

Well, the space ai art space is getting pretty competitive. I have seen many people starting and then quitting these kind of projects because they approached it purely from the money side. I make only few sales every couple of months and so far it is mostly coming from social media (@ai_art_supreme on Instagram) or word of mouth channels. I am targeting high end of the market so that is fine by me and also ready to play this for the long term as I wholeheartedly believe this is an monumental moment in art history. These kind of artworks are going to be worth a ton of money in 20-30 years when we get super AI.

I'm in the same space as the founder of NightCafe Creator [1]. It's been running at a (substantial) loss for the last year until September which was my first break even month. I'm hoping to turn it around and have made great strides so far. The biggest expense (95%) is GPU compute time. It runs on Algorithmia which was super convenient to get up and running with, but is now very expensive. Switching compute providers is a big opportunity. Unfortunately I suck at devops.

I'm guess most of your revenue is coming from the prints/merchandise? Do they tend to make they're own or buy a premade one?

Thanks for the support! I haven’t thought about mailing lists so far. However, I am posting artworks regularly on social media (@ai_art_supreme on Instagram). Do you think mailing lists would make sense as I am mostly sharing the artworks and not so much the news content?

Following you on IG now. I just wanted a medium where your site and it's art work would bubble up on occasion since I'm not always buying artwork. I think IG is perfect considering you just share art work. Perhaps promoting the IG channel more on the website would help?
A mailing list is nice because you're actually collecting emails and can use them somehow in the future. You could collect emails and then send users a welcome email that also promotes your IG channel. It just wasn't obvious you have an IG channel. Hopefully this is helpful.
