Hey everyone! I'm Kakeru, a blogger who supports everyone's "earning" potential at high speed through productivity and AI utilization!

Since you opened this article, you're probably thinking, "I want to earn money with stock photos, but I don't have photography skills or equipment...", or "I want to try using AI illustrations, but they don't pass the review, and I don't know what or how to sell them..." right?

Let's turn that worry into an "asset that keeps earning automatically" using the power of AI starting today!

Today's theme is the ultimate monetization strategy that I am currently convinced is the most "low-risk, high-return" and realistic path to "passive income."

Specifically, I will talk about the "Forbidden AI Stock Photo Strategy" to aim for a monthly income of 200,000 yen starting from your first 10,000 yen by mass-producing "business and lifestyle illustrations with high commercial demand" using AI like Midjourney and selling them on Adobe Stock or Shutterstock. I will share everything, including the specific steps to create assets that pass the review in 10 minutes, portfolio strategies to achieve a monthly income of 200,000 yen, and a "secret trick" to make research work zero!

You're probably thinking, "Wait, is it okay to sell AI-generated pictures on stock photo sites?" or "Can you really earn 200,000 yen a month?"

Rest assured. You can. The key to this know-how is not to use AI as a "replacement for photography", but to provide them as "illustration assets specialized for specific business needs that humans cannot draw," which is a strategy of attacking a niche.

If you practice this method, I am confident that people will definitely think, "Maybe I can do this too! I want to read other articles!" Please read to the end and debut as an "AI Stock Photo Creator" starting today!

📸 Why is "AI Illustration x Stock Photo" a chance to earn big right now? [The Shock of Before-and-After]

First, let me explain the logic of why this market of "selling AI illustration stock photos" is so hot right now and why you can aim for a monthly income of 200,000 yen.

A profitable market is a place where "overwhelming mass-production (AI)" and "a mechanism that keeps selling automatically (stock photos)" are combined.

1. The complete collapse of the "skill and time" barrier

Traditional stock photography was a business that required time and effort.

• Before (Traditional Stock Photo): Requires expensive initial investment in cameras and studio equipment. It required work that took several hours per image for shooting, retouching, finding models, etc.

• After (AI Illustration): Just give instructions (prompts) in Japanese to AI like Midjourney. No shooting or editing required. In under 10 minutes per image, an amateur can instantly generate and upload pro-level assets.

This shock of the before-and-after where "work time becomes zero! Amateurs become pros!" is what completely collapsed the barriers to entry.

2. The endless demand for "business-related illustrations"

Most stock photo sales are for business purposes such as corporate advertisements, websites, and presentation materials.

• Specific demand: "Business meetings," "futuristic technology," "business scenes with diverse races and age groups," etc.—fresh expressions are always in demand.

• AI's strength: AI excels at visualizing abstract concepts that are difficult for humans to prepare (e.g., the future of DX, diagrams of innovation) as illustrations. This is where the "forbidden trick" that allows AI to win lies.

• The trick: By using AI's overwhelming mass-production capability to sell sets of "variations" (e.g., different color schemes or angles of the same illustration) that would be too time-consuming for humans to create, you can pinpoint the needs of buyers.

3. A roadmap to 200,000 yen monthly proven by "concrete numbers"

Stock photo revenue is "number of downloads" x "unit price." AI explosively increases this "number of downloads."

• Goal: 200,000 yen monthly (assuming an average unit price of 50 yen) → 4,000 downloads per month required.

• Roadmap:

  • Top Creator Analysis: Creators earning 200,000 yen per month build portfolios of thousands to tens of thousands of items.

  • AI Mass Production System: If you generate 10 illustrations in 10 minutes of work per day, your inventory will increase by 300 items per month.

  • Result: 3,600 assets in one year. This overwhelming, concrete number of "inventory count" makes the goal of 4,000 downloads per month a reality.

🛠️ [Concrete Method] A Roadmap to Turning AI Illustrations into Sellable Assets in "10 Minutes"

From here on, I will explain how to use AI tools like Midjourney and the prompt strategy for creating assets that "pass review and sell."

📌 Step 1: Research sellable keywords and design your prompts!

Creating random illustrations won't sell. Let's research demand keywords to see "what is currently in demand on stock photo sites."

✅ Kakeru-style! Secret trick for demand keyword research

1. AI Research: Instruct ChatGPT to "List 50 business-related stock illustration keywords that are in high demand on Adobe Stock in 2024." (Research work becomes zero!)

2. Popular Illustration Analysis: Actually look at Adobe Stock's "Popular Rankings" and "Trends" to see what kind of "composition" and "color usage" the top illustrations are using.

3. Incorporating into Prompts: Incorporate the researched keywords (e.g., Diversity, Remote Work, AI integration) into your Midjourney prompts.

📌 Step 2: The forbidden AI settings to "skyrocket" your review pass rate!

The main reasons AI-generated images fail stock photo reviews are "hand defects," "unnaturalness," and "insufficient resolution."

✅ Kakeru-style! Settings for over 90% review pass rate (assuming Midjourney)

Setting Item Specific Instructions (Include in Prompt) Purpose Quality--quality 2 or --q 2 Create details with the highest image quality to prevent rejection during reviewStyleVector Illustration, Flat Design, Corporate Art Have it reviewed as an "illustration" rather than a realistic photo, which AI struggles withAspect Ratio--ar 16:9 or --ar 3:2 Standardize to a ratio that is easy to use for websites and presentation materialsCountermeasures for UnnaturalnessSimple background, No hands visible (if hands are not needed) Eliminate elements where AI tends to fail from the start to reduce correction work to zero

• Secret Trick: By adding specifically "Vector Illustration" or"Flat Design" to your prompt, the unnaturalness (cluttered feel) unique to AI images disappears, resulting in simple, high-quality illustrations that are easy to pass review.

📌 Step 3: Automate metadata and establish a "10-minute upload" routine!

Even if you pass the review, if the keyword (tagging) process is tedious, your mass-production system will collapse. Let's leave this to AI as well!

1. Automatic Tag Generation: Pass the generated illustration and the researched demand keywords to ChatGPT and instruct it: "List 50 tags that sell on Adobe Stock in English."

2. Automatic Caption Generation: Similarly, instruct ChatGPT: "Create a caption (description) that makes this illustration look as attractive as possible for commercial use."

3. Concrete Numbers: If you copy and paste these automatically generated tags and captions, the process from generation to upload is completed in 10 minutes per image. Work time is dramatically reduced!

💰 [Exit Strategy] How to achieve a monthly income of 200,000 yen with "AI Stock Photos"

To achieve a monthly income of 200,000 yen with AI stock photos, you need to master the "Portfolio Strategy."

1. Increase the unit price per customer by selling "Variation Sets"!

Instead of selling illustrations of the same theme one by one, increase the unit price per customer with "Set Sales."

• Example: Sell an illustration of "4 people working remotely" as a set of "4 variations (smiling, serious, worried, successful)" (increasing the unit price by 5 times!).

• Secret Trick: AI like Midjourney is good at changing expressions and poses while maintaining the style of a character once generated. This "variation set that leverages AI's specialty" is the secret to selling at a high unit price.

2. Visualize the correlation between "monthly upload count" and revenue!

Stock photo revenue is strongly proportional to the concrete number of "upload count".

• Strategy: Set a daily upload target and compare it with your revenue growth. If your revenue is stagnant, it is either because "you don't have enough inventory" or "your research is weak."

• Goal: First, strictly maintain 300 uploads per month. Once your revenue increases, double this number through outsourcing and break through the 200,000 yen monthly income barrier at once.

3. Turn your "research know-how" into content and earn twice as much!

The "selling keyword research know-how" you have built is the most valuable information.

• Content Sales: Sell it on platforms like Note as a "Research Prompt Collection for Earning 200,000 Yen Monthly with AI Illustrations."

• Benefits: You will complete a passive income by securing "passive income" through stock photos while also earning "direct revenue" through "know-how sales," creating a dual automated revenue pillar.

🚀 Summary: What accelerates your "earning" is AI's "research and mass-production power"!

So, how was it?

I have revealed a super concrete method to generate AI illustrations with tools like Midjourney and conquer Adobe Stock to achieve a monthly income of 200,000 yen.

You no longer need special skills or expensive equipment. If you combine AI's overwhelming generation power and accurate research capabilities with your "instruction power (prompts)," you can build automated revenue pillars starting today.

The important thing is to be conscious of the following "winning angles" and take immediate action.

• Concrete Numbers: Aim for "200,000 yen monthly income," "generating assets that pass review in 10 minutes," and "3,600 items in inventory!"

• Before and After: Deliver the shock of "An amateur becoming a professional-grade stock photo creator!" and "Photography and editing work becoming completely zero!"

• Trick Factor: Try "forbidden settings that no one else is doing yet" to overcome AI's weaknesses and skyrocket your review pass rate!

Finally, a message to you

"Earning 200,000 yen a month with AI is just a pipe dream..." Are you still hesitating?

Don't worry. Stock photography is a business model that keeps earning for you permanently once you upload. It takes some initial effort, but with AI, that effort is just 10 minutes per image.

All you have to do is this.

1. Research 'best-selling keywords' using ChatGPT.

2. Generate illustrations in Midjourney using 'settings that increase approval rates'.

3. Copy and paste the automatically generated tags and captions, then upload!

See? Doesn't this make you think, "I might be able to do this too! Let's try using Midjourney right now!"?

AI is the best 'automatic revenue machine' to make your dreams come true. Let's make the most of its power to easily increase your 'time' and 'money'!
