How people turn Google's free AI into side income

Hey AI Enthusiast 👋,

We've been playing around with that Nano Banana thing we told you about before.

You know, the Google AI tool that turns photos into toy figurines?

Well, we found some people are actually making money with it. Pretty cool stuff. 💰

Quick reminder what Nano Banana is:

It's Google's AI image editor that's really good at making those viral 3D figurine photos.

Also does other photo edits using simple text prompts.

We're still learning about it, but wanted to share 5 ways people are earning side income with this free tool.

1) Help people make cool profile pictures

What you do: Take someone's selfie and turn it into stylized figurine or cool portrait.

How to start:

• Make 3-5 examples of different styles

• Post on Fiverr or Instagram, faceBook with "DM for custom edit"

• Charge 10-35 dollars per edit ✅

People love unique profile pictures for social media. Pretty simple way to start.

2) Create content packs for other creators

What you do: Make Instagram posts, YouTube thumbnails, or product photos using Nano Banana.

How to start:

• Create 5 template styles (like fitness thumbnails or product mockups)

• Sell them on Gumroad for 15-50 dollars per pack

• Show before/after examples on social media

Lot of creators need content but don't have time to make it themselves.

3) Design stuff for print-on-demand

What you do: Create cute characters or figurine-style designs for t-shirts, stickers, phone cases.

How to start:

• Make series of themed characters (like cute animals or mini figurines)

• Upload to Redbubble or Printful

• Let them handle printing and shipping

• Create content on social media or run small ads.

You just create designs. They handle everything else. Pretty neat setup. 🎨

4) Help small businesses with product photos

What you do: Take basic product photos and make them look professional using AI.

How to start:

• Offer free sample to local business or Etsy seller

• Create package of 5 product photos for 50-200 dollars

• Focus on people who can't afford real photographer

Small businesses always need better photos for their online stores.

5) Teach others how to use it

What you do: Make simple tutorials showing people how to get good results.

How to start:

• Record 5-minute videos showing your process

• Sell as course for 15-50 dollars on Gumroad

• Share free mini-tutorials on TikTok to get people interested 📚

Why we're sharing this:

We're not making money from any of this.

Just thought people in our AI family might find these ideas helpful for earning some extra income.

All of these use free Google tool, so no big investment needed to start.

We're still experimenting with Nano Banana ourselves. Learning what works and what doesn't.

Maybe one of these ideas clicks for you. Or maybe it gives you different idea we haven't thought of.

Either way, hope this helps someone in our family.

Take care, 👋
