I built an entire business around selling custom art for hotels/condo in Asia using Midjourney.

There is none but the general process is

1. Look for interesting results in Midjourney gallery

2. Use a similar prompt

3. Pick 5-10 interest results and build a collection

4. Upload said collection on Etsy (using placeit mockups) and offer hand made painting + print on demande

5. If I make a sale using POD there isn't much to do on my part

6. If I made a handmade sale, I ask a local painter in Phuket to reproduce my Midjourney image and sell it with ~300% profit (this greatly help because I can them remove the AI defects or take custom orders if needed)

7. I also use "Waalaxy" to do Cold Outreach of Linkedin (I target hotel/condo manager or people responsible for purchasing).

I have been doing this for a few months, got two leads, sold 60 artworks for a newly built high end condo.

This resulted in roughly 65 * 200 = 13000$
