I just got out of a failed project, but creating with Midjorney gave me a great relief, especially after a day of working as a designer. The other day I thought maybe I could do it as a hobby project, so I made a website with a selection of my good work, and you can use them as you would use Unsplash, for free and with no terms.

I'm currently updating it at a rate of 10 images a day, let me know if you like it, it means a lot to me!

I'm off to get some coffee.

I’m not sure if and how you plan to make money out of this but I find some of these backgrounds to be absolutely mesmerizing! Well done! Willing to share any advice on how to use midjourney to get to such results?

I certainly plan to make money from it, but I can't see any potential for it to make money haha, I just treat my creation as part of my psychological healing, and then select some to send out, maybe it can help some people.

Regarding learning Midjourney, I have been learning from some tutorials on Youtube, but honestly, Midjourney is really quite simple, you don't need to take any courses. Watching Youtube is enough.

Could this run into copyright issues at some point?

[–] Jumpy-Phone9681@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think there would be any problem, as all these images were created by me using Midjourney, so there are no copyright issues. Of course, I might need to write some sort of disclaimer on the website.

cool project. how does unsplash make money? can't you do the same?

To be honest, I just had this daydream, but then I checked out Unsplash's story and I think it's pretty hard to replicate their success. Personally, I really feel that a big part of Unsplash's early massive attention was due to luck. But still, I'm working hard to commercialize it, maybe after I've created like 5000 awesome backgrounds, haha.
So for now, I'm treating it as my personal hobby project, enjoying the process, and hoping it can help you out!
