So Far, This Is How It Has Been
In my previous stories, I shared how to launch a side hustle with the help of a free AI generator, and many people loved the idea
I decided to test the waters by selling some of my creations on Etsy
Now, I plan to market adorable wall art on Etsy.
and not even just ordinary wall art but “Nursery Wall Art”
The strategy was to
- Use Leonardo AI to create the Art Images,
- and use Canva for some editing like adding text and frame
- then sell them as a physical print or as a downloaded PDF.
The reason I was so certain that Etsy would have been the ideal location to launch this side business is that
I had already witnessed hundreds of Etsy sellers profiting thousands of dollars solely from the sale of their AI-generated nursery prints.
So, in this story, I am going to show you how to start this beautiful, profitable side hustle.
But not only that:
- I’ll also show you how you can double your revenue by selling on both Pinterest and Etsy
Are you ready?
If Yes!
So let’s look at how, even as a total novice, you could create your own successful wall art business on Etsy.
Step 1: Choose Your Selling Strategy for Your Nursery Art Print
Here is it: you either sell
- as a physical print (Print on demand.)
- or as a downloaded PDF (printable downloads).
If you are confused about how this works, let’s break it down for you.
Print on Demand is exactly what it sounds like your photo is automatically printed and dispatched to the buyer when it is needed.
There won’t be any shipment or delivery for you to handle.
All you have to do is let the print provider handle the job; they will keep a percentage on every sale.
Printable download You can offer your photos as digital downloads so that prospective customers can print them themselves.
Additionally, you keep nearly all of the money after Etsy’s costs, even though selling your nursery prints would lower your front-end prices and earnings.
You can choose between the two.
But for this story, I will be going with digital downloads because I love digital products.
2. Find Ideas For Nursery Art
and not just ordinary ideas but a profitable one
how are we going to find these profitable ideas, now if you have been a reader here you know things go
So, head over to ChatGPT,
Now ask ChatGPT to give me 10-20 sub-niches to create Nursery Wall Art
My approach is to repeatedly ask ChatGPT for sub-niches until I find one that fits my requirements.
- A high demand (as suggested by Etsy’s Dropdown feature)
- and low competition with less than 1000 search results
So, using this research process, I found that the keyword “Nursery Wall Art”
Now I go back and ask ChatGPT to give you 10–20 sub-niches in Animal to create Nursery Wall Art
Then I also go back and ask for10–20 sub-niches in Baby zoo animals to create Nursery Wall Art
With this method, I found dozens of low competition keywords, one of which was ‘Baby lions nursey wall art’
This idea is in high demand because of the number of sales other listings have received.
This low-competition product is priced at $4.76 with 1.1k reviews which means this seller has likely earned $5,236
3. Creating My Nursery Wall Art
At this point, I will be using my favorite free AI art generator Leonardo.ai
Though producing high-quality images isn’t as easy as I make it appear, Leonardo AI is undoubtedly one of the greatest AI art producers out there when given the correct instructions.
If you have no idea what prompts are, prompts are word commands you give to the AI image generators for what you want your images to look like.
Additionally, I am aware of how challenging it can be to produce Images of a high quality, particularly when one is just starting to master AI technology.
I thought it would be beneficial to share my high-quality prompts with as many of my readers as possible so they may try creating high-quality Images similar to the ones I do.
you can copy exact AI art prompts (word for word)
You get everything Just by downloading The Leonardo Prompt Bundle.
I stopped making pictures that looked like this because of these prompts.

Using Etsy to Sell Your Nursery Art
After obtaining the AI nursery print in PDF format, you must

- Select a fitting store name, then submit your artwork for digital downloads.
- Publishing and launching at least 15–20 of these nursery prints in the appropriate areas is the purpose.
focus on finding the “right niches.”
Because you will probably not make any sales if you work in a highly competitive or low-demand area.
However, you ought to be able to close your first deal in a week or two if you adhere to these precise instructions.
Believe me, if you do this correctly, you should expect to make thousands of dollars, just like other sellers.
As promised I’ll also show you how I market on Pinterest
To start, Pinterest is a search engine for images that receives over 1.1 billion visits each month.
I used Pinterest to send extra traffic to your Etsy shop.
and here’s a simple steps to follow
- Create a Pinterest page with the same name and Branding as your Etsy shop
- Repost all of your Nursery Wall Art Mockups on Pinterest
- Optimize your Image pins with the same keywords you used on Etsy in your titles, descriptions, and tags.
this process takes a few minutes to promote your product on Pinterest for extra traffic.
