Sell Your AI Prompts

Listing on PromptBase.art is free and takes as long as writing the description: you supply the prompt text, the model it targets, a category, a price in credits and the samples generated from that prompt. Buyers see the samples, pay once, and you keep seventy percent of the sale.

Because prices are quoted in credits and one hundred credits equals one US dollar, the arithmetic is transparent. A 200-credit prompt sells for two dollars and pays you one dollar forty; a 300-credit ready-to-post Short sells for three dollars and pays you two dollars ten.

This page covers the publishing flow end to end — what a listing needs, how it is reviewed, how pricing works and how to build a catalogue that keeps selling — plus the habits that separate prompts which sell from prompts that sit unread.

What a listing needs to go live

Four things make a listing publishable: the prompt text itself, the model it was written for, a category that matches the content, and samples generated from the exact prompt being sold. A description that tells the buyer what the prompt produces completes the set.

The samples are not decoration. Buyers cannot run a prompt before paying, so the images or clips on the listing page are the entire evidence base for a purchase. Listings whose samples do not represent the shipped prompt are corrected before they stay live.

How pricing in credits works

You set the price in credits. The published catalogue currently ranges from free to 300 credits, which is three dollars, and most image and text prompts sit between 100 and 250 credits. Video prompts occupy the 200 to 250 band, and finished vertical Shorts are at 300.

The useful rule is to price against reuse rather than against your time. A prompt a buyer will run once is worth little to them; a prompt they will run weekly for a year is worth many times a two-dollar price. Because there is no subscription, your price is a one-time decision the buyer makes in seconds.

The 70% share and how earnings accrue

Every sale pays the creator seventy percent, with no sliding scale and no deduction for being a new seller. Earnings accumulate per listing so you can see which prompts convert and which get views without sales — the second signal is the one worth acting on, because it usually means the samples or the description are not doing their job.

You request a payout from the creator dashboard when you are ready. Because listing costs nothing and there is no monthly fee, there is no financial penalty for testing a listing and iterating on it before you commit to a full catalogue.

What sells: specific deliverables

Prompts sell when they answer a recurring job. Product and e-commerce imagery, thumbnails and social creative, logo and brand concepts, video shots for ads and reels, and structured text frameworks for marketing, outreach and reporting are the patterns that convert repeatedly.

Narrow beats broad every time. "A cinematic film still" competes with thousands of free prompts; "matte ceramic product shot on a warm studio sweep with soft top light, three aspect ratios" is a phrase a buyer searches for when they have that exact job. Write the listing title for the buyer’s own words.

Building a catalogue rather than a listing

A single listing is a lottery ticket. Five to ten prompts covering one workflow is a product line: a buyer who uses your thumbnail prompt returns for your background and title-card prompts, and each new listing is another entry point from search.

The categories with room are the ones with depth already — art and illustration, photography, graphic and design, video, marketing and business, productivity and writing — because buyers browsing those categories are actively looking. Clustering your listings in one niche also makes you visible as the person who covers it.

Free listings as lead magnets

Seven listings on the marketplace are free, and they are not charity. A free prompt brings buyers into your catalogue and demonstrates your style, and because your seller profile lists everything you publish, the free listing does the marketing for the paid ones beside it.

The pattern that works is a free entry that shows your strongest look, with two or three paid prompts in adjacent jobs. Buyers who liked the free sample are the warmest audience you will ever get, and they convert at a far higher rate than cold traffic.

Mistakes that keep prompts from selling

Describing the prompt instead of the outcome is the first: buyers do not care that a prompt uses advanced style stacking, they care that it produces a clean product shot in the sizes their store needs. Mislabelling the target model is the second — a prompt run in the wrong engine disappoints and costs you the rest of the catalogue.

Copying other sellers’ prompt text is the fastest way to lose a listing, since duplicates are detected and removed. Publishing without samples, or with samples that no longer match the prompt, is the quiet failure: the listing stays live and never converts, and the fix is usually one afternoon of regenerating samples.

Pricing against reuse, not against your time

The mistake new sellers make is pricing by how long the prompt took to write. Buyers are not paying for your hours; they are paying for the number of times they will run the result. A prompt for a weekly job has dozens of uses ahead of it, and that is what makes a two-dollar price easy to accept.

The practical consequence is that a narrow prompt with an obvious recurring buyer can be priced higher than a beautiful generic one. If your listing answers a job somebody does every week, price it in the upper half of the range and let the samples argue the case.

What happens after your listing goes live

Published listings are ordered for browsing by views and recency, and each one you add becomes another entrance from search because the listing has its own page, title and description built from your prompt’s real details rather than a template.

The dashboard tells you which listings get views and which convert them into sales. A listing with traffic and no sales is the signal worth acting on: the samples are not showing the style clearly, or the description is describing the prompt rather than the deliverable. Both are fixable in an afternoon, and neither costs you anything to correct.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I earn per sale?

Seventy percent. A 200-credit prompt sells for $2.00 and pays you $1.40; a 300-credit Short sells for $3.00 and pays you $2.10.

Does listing cost anything?

No. There is no listing fee, no seller subscription and no minimum number of prompts required.

What do I need to publish a prompt?

The prompt text, the target model, a category, a price in credits and real output samples generated from that exact prompt.

How are listings reviewed?

New listings are checked for real samples, a named target model and a matching category. Duplicate and near-identical listings are removed.

Can I publish free prompts as well as paid ones?

Yes, and it helps. A free listing demonstrates your style and funnels buyers to the paid prompts in the same catalogue.

The catalogue covers Midjourney, ChatGPT, Claude, Stable Diffusion, Sora, Veo, Kling, Runway, Ideogram and ChatGPT Image, plus ready-to-post YouTube Shorts and scripts.

How do payouts work?

Sales accumulate as earnings visible per listing in your creator dashboard, and you request a payout there when you are ready to withdraw.
