Is the Profit Good for Those Selling AI-Generated Art Merchandise?
I recently started learning how to create images with Stable Diffusion, and I've heard that many people are selling them as merchandise—like T-shirts or magnets. Is there anyone here who has actually tried it? I'm curious about how much profit you can make and whether there are any copyright issues. I'd also like to know which platform is the best for selling.

I've also made and sold goods using SD, earning about 100,000 to 200,000 won a month on the side. At first, I was worried about copyright issues, but it turned out fine as long as I checked the commercial license and used self-generated images. Selling through Ably or Pinterest integration got good responses.
Profits can be surprisingly decent, but marketing is more important in the early stages. I mainly sold T-shirts, but following popular prompts led to fierce competition and inconsistent earnings. For copyright, you must check SD's own model terms, and I got a lot of tips from Reddit.
I haven't tried it yet, but where do you get merchandise made? Could you recommend some custom manufacturing companies or platforms? I'm also curious about copyright issues—I'm not sure if selling SD-style drawings is completely safe legally.
