How to sell midjourney — a 2026 guide for creators. This guide shows you how to package prompts so buyers can use them immediately, set pricing that matches buyer expectations, and build a catalogue that keeps selling. You’ll learn practical prompt organization, documentation, license tiering, and how to market to Midjourney-focused communities. We’ll also cover how payouts work for creators, including crypto options—useful if you’re outside Stripe-supported countries.
Who's selling midjourney right now?
Most sellers fall into one of three buckets: solo creators who specialize in a single style (e.g., cinematic portraits, product mockups, or anime backgrounds), small agencies/teams that productize custom prompt frameworks, and “side-project” prompt curators who consistently publish themed packs.
What these sellers have in common is repeatable output. They’re not selling one prompt—they’re selling a system: prompt structure, consistent parameters, and variations that produce reliable results across themes.
In the midjourney marketplace, buyers typically look for prompt packs with predictable outcomes (not only inspiration). That usually means you should focus on quality, clarity, and a well-organized catalogue—especially if you want realistic midjourney creator income over time.
What buyers expect
Buyers expect prompts that are ready to run. That means you provide the exact text buyers need (plus any recommended parameters), clear naming, and example prompts they can remix. They also expect consistent formatting so they can copy/paste quickly across variations.
Documentation matters. A good prompt pack explains what each section does (style tags, composition cues, lighting, lens cues, negative/avoid guidance if you use it), and how to adapt the prompt to their subject—without requiring them to be a prompt engineer.
- Copy/paste-friendly prompt text (one prompt per line/file entry)
- At least a short README with usage notes and variation strategy
- Preview assets so buyers can judge outcomes before buying
- License terms clearly stated (personal vs commercial, etc.)
- Support expectations: how you’ll handle updates, errors, or version changes
Pricing playbook
For selling digital midjourney, most packs land in the $3–15 range, while curated themed packs commonly price higher at $30–80. Think of pricing as a match to how “plug-and-play” and “complete” the pack feels.
Use a simple 3-tier structure: Intro ($3–9) for a focused set of prompts that show your style; Mid ($10–30) for broader themed collections with strong documentation and variations; Premium ($30–80) for curated packs with tighter consistency, more variations, and better preview/README assets.
Bundling is where many sellers improve conversion: combine complementary packs (e.g., “Cinematic Portraits” + “Lighting Setups” + “Lens/Camera Cues”) into a single purchase that feels like a complete toolkit. For license tiers, clearly separate how prompts can be used (for example, personal vs commercial usage) so buyers don’t need to guess—and you can avoid refund friction.
Packaging your midjourney
Packaging is the difference between “cool prompt” and “buyer-ready product.” Your files should work out of the box: prompts, previews, and instructions that reduce buyer effort immediately.
- Prompt files: provide prompts in clean text formats (copy/paste friendly)
- Preview assets: thumbnails or sample images that match the prompts inside
- README/docs: how to use, what parameters you recommend, and how to adapt for new subjects
- License file: spell out personal vs commercial permissions in plain language
- Version notes: if you change prompt structure or add new variations, label versions so buyers know what they’re getting
- Organization: consistent naming, folders/sections by theme (lighting, lens, composition, subject)
Marketing channels that actually work
In Midjourney, buyers usually discover prompt packs through communities where people already trade results and workflow tips. Start by posting your best outputs (with the prompt structure or “what to try”) and link purchases only when the audience is primed for “full toolkit” downloads.
Practical places to market: Reddit (Midjourney-focused and AI art prompt communities like r/midjourney, r/AIArt, and niche art subreddits where prompt sharing is welcomed), X/Twitter (follow creators who share Midjourney prompt breakdowns and join prompt-threads), and Midjourney/AI art Discord servers where people ask for “prompt packs” and template resources. On YouTube, short tutorials that show “before/after” prompt refinement (and then offer the full pack) can convert well.
Workflow that tends to perform: publish a free “micro-prompt” with 3–5 variations, then sell the full themed pack that includes the rest of the variations + documentation + license clarity. This reduces buyer hesitation and builds catalogue trust over time.
Why Getly?
Getly keeps creators at 80% of every sale (platform fee is 20%). You can sell midjourney prompts as digital goods and rely on Getly’s built-in tools for merchandising—like bundles and multi-license tiers—to match how buyers actually purchase.
Getly also supports Stripe Connect payouts plus crypto payouts (USDT/USDC on Tron, BSC, Polygon, Solana, Ethereum). That crypto option is especially helpful for creators outside Stripe-supported countries, where many platforms make payouts difficult. Payouts run on the 1st and 15th of each month, giving you predictable cashflow for scaling your catalogue.
If you want to sell midjourney prompts successfully in 2026, build a repeatable pack format: prompts + previews + a clear README + explicit license terms. Start with an Intro tier ($3–15), then reinvest in a Mid tier and a Premium curated pack ($30–80) once you know which themes convert. Upload consistently, market the outputs in Midjourney communities, and iterate based on what buyers reuse.
