A Single Image Paid Me Twenty Dollars

For those who do not know, I am in the THC Gummy Niche. People are now seeking me out because of the images I create with the Image Studio. Lord knows when the image studio sees me coming, it tries to run and hide just to avoid the workout. I make, on average, 100 images every day and sometimes even more.

If you do it long enough, you will eventually see a warning like this.

"We’re so sorry, but the image we created may violate our guardrails around nudity, sexuality, or sensitive content. If you think we got it wrong, please retry or edit your prompt."

This is the warning I got when I created the image shown below of Kyle and his Eyeball.

Kyle, Eye on You Image

Nothing Nude, sexual, or sensitive. It is just the image generator acting like a Gen Z pansy expressing "feelings." lol j/k

But seriously, it does happen. Now back to my niche. Generators loathe hemp and marijuana plants. It is their training and nature, if you will. It is how you ask and the generator you use that gets results. Image studio delivers, and Kre8or is even better.

One day, I was approached via message to design a skull with a marijuana plant and a simple heading. This person is another creator who loves images as I do, yet their generators refuse to handle the task. I told them I would take a crack at it.

I went to my toolkit and thought about it. I then developed a simple prompt using only what they asked for. A Skull with hemp plants growing from it and a simple yet effective headline, "Enjoy Life Before Death." I nailed it on the first try with just that simple prompt. Many image creation tools wouldn't even try, but ours will.

Enjoy Life before death

This is what I call the concept image. The first image I get and share before I polish it. I showed it to them, and they were shocked. Not just in the image, but also in how fast I delivered it. Five minutes later, my email chimed, and $20 was added to my PayPal account. I then polished the image, watermarked it for their site, and delivered the final version. (I wish I could show you the final version, but it does not belong to me and would not be right.)

My point in this post is that we have advantages that others do not. We have tools that are superior to those that people outside pay dearly for every month. Once you learn how to use them, you become unstoppable. Use the tools available to you to your advantage.
