Notion AI becomes public | Selling your AI prompts
Dear followers,
I hope you're having a great February so far! What achievements are you particularly proud of?
February was an extremely successful month for me. Last Sunday was the most successful day yet for my Notion Templates side hustle, and I made a lot of progress in scaling my business.
However, my creativity was on standby last month, and I didn't produce a lot of new content. So, in the next few weeks, I will try to getting back to my daily writing routine.
Quotes of the month
As a creator, it is important to not just follow the herd but to find your own path. This quote sums it up beautifully:
“Instead of swimming downstream like everyone, you should swim upstream like a salmon! Be Different”
“Almost every creator is being way, WAY too strategicUntil you’re making a million dollars on the internet you’re in beta take all the time & energy you’re spending strategizing and iterate as fast as you possibly can. Every piece of content is a shot on goal”
Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth”.
For a content creator, the equivalent of getting punched in the face is being ignored.
Most creators are ignored in the beginning, not because they lack plans, but rather because they lack insights into what content works best for them.
So, Tiago is right: It makes no sense to strategize if you don’t have any data points. Your goal, in the beginning, should be to accumulate as much data as possible and this is best done by creating a lot of different content stuff.
Perhaps this is why so many people with ADHD thrive in the content creation niche.

Midjourney Prompts Generator
Last weekend I launched my new Midjourney Prompts Generator for Notion. Once again, this was a successful launch that resulted in 150+ upvotes on Product Hunt and more than 400 downloads.
I guess I hit the zeitgeist with it because Ai is THE hot topic at the moment.
Still, a lot of people are scared by the thought of ai-generated art disrupting our society in the upcoming months and years, and they might worry that it'll replace them or their source of income. This might be true, but not everything is doom and gloom because this revolution will also open up a lot of new opportunities.
One of these is the selling of prompts. Just recently I discovered promptbase.com, a marketplace specifically for selling prompts. You can use it to find pre-made prompts to suit your project, or you could earn an income from it by selling your most successful prompts.
Now you might think that nobody would pay for something as simple as an ai prompt, but you'd be wrong. My friend Ian has been making $429 from selling prompts in the last 1.5 months, and he has just started this business.
If you've been using Midjourney daily, you should already have tons of great prompts to work with.
And with my Prompts Generator, creating clean and structured prompts for Midjourney should be easy.
By the way! Besides Promptbase, you can use the following 4 marketplaces for selling your AI prompts:
So what are you waiting for? Don't be afraid to make money from your skills!
This is all for today. Have a great week,
Philipp
