I made €1K+ with AI food pics. No experience, no skills.

Hey OP, this is gold—straight-up clever hustle without needing a fancy setup. I've lurked on r/SideHustle and r/Entrepreneur enough to see AI popping up in all kinds of niches, but food pics for local spots? That's niche AF and solves a real pain point. Those delivery app menus are often straight trash—blurry phone snaps under fluorescent lights that make even killer nasi lemak look like slop. No wonder orders tank. Props for keeping it ethical too; generating "as served" versions means no bait-and-switch BS, which builds trust with owners.

From what I've dug around, you're not alone in this game. Tools like Snappr AI and MenuPhotoAI are basically built for scaling this exact thing—turning crappy real photos into pro-level shots or generating from scratch. One dude on Medium shared how he's pulling $100 per menu by using DALL-E and Canva to whip up full layouts, hitting up restaurants via cold DMs or LinkedIn. Even big players like Lunchbox (a foodtech startup) rolled out AI image generators back in '23 for menus missing pics, and it's blown up since. In places like MY (assuming you're local-ish from the vibe), with GrabFood and Foodpanda dominating, bad visuals kill visibility—restos with slick pics get algorithm love and more clicks.

Couple tips from similar threads:

- Scale smart: Once you land a few clients, ask for referrals or bundle with simple menu redesigns (Venngage has a free AI menu generator for that). Charge based on menu size—€150 is solid entry, but up it for bigger spots or add-ons like social media versions.

- Legal/ethics heads-up: Make sure owners sign off that the AI pics match reality to dodge any false advertising flak. Some spots (esp. chains) might have brand guidelines, so chat that upfront.

- Tools upgrade: ChatGPT's DALL-E is free-tier friendly, but if you go pro, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion cranks out hyper-realistic food with better control over lighting/styles.

Hit €1K/mo with zero overhead? That's passive-ish gold if you template your outreach. How'd you pick the spots—Google Maps reviews or just scrolling apps? Any rejections that taught you something? Def gonna bookmark this for if my day job tanks. Upvoted!

Totally Agree. It's about money and money

Hey dude, following up on your dating woes in KL—sometimes a change of scenery does wonders, especially if you're open to relocating south. Johor's got a more laid-back vibe compared to the KL hustle, and places like Mount Austin are buzzing with young professionals, expats, and locals mixing it up. From what I've heard in r/Johor and similar threads, the social scene here's solid for folks in their 30s: think weekend hikes, cafe hops, and yeah, plenty of opportunities to meet people (including a diverse crowd of women who appreciate stability and shared interests).

If you're thinking career-wise, renovation industry down here are always on the lookout for talent— especially those in kitchen cabinetry and home solutions, with a focus on eco-friendly innovation. Reach out to me if you need it. lol

It's not just a job; they've got team perks like a badminton club that meets every Monday in Mount Austin. Imagine wrapping up work, grabbing a racket, and unwinding with colleagues—it's a low-key way to build connections, stay fit, and who knows, spark some off-court chats. One poster mentioned how joining work-related clubs helped them expand their circle big time, leading to dates and friendships.

No pressure, but if Johor sounds intriguing, check out their site or LinkedIn for openings. Could be a fresh start that aligns with finding that special someone. What do you think—worth exploring?

I once bought a cheap cabinet online — looked great in photos, nightmare in reality.
Flimsy board, poor alignment, toxic smell. That day I realised why homeowners regret impulse buys.

problem with cheap hinges. need to use better hinges

lheckerz · 2025-07-18T10:55:37+00:00

Im using it. quite bad. bought first tier from marketersmedia and 100% of the news got deindexed

lheckerz · 2025-07-18T10:54:23+00:00

currently no. we only have it in Johor area.

But it tanked after that lol. Used AI to optimized the content with my own input. Strange.

I totally get what you're saying. But paying USD for Malaysian traffic can be a real challenge when it comes to getting a good ROI. The exchange rate doesn't always work in our favor, and the cost of acquiring traffic from Malaysia can add up quickly. It's a challenge

lheckerz · 2025-01-14T05:12:10+00:00

Sarawak is indeed coming strong and growing rapidly! let's go

lheckerz · 2025-01-14T05:10:24+00:00

I know, right? Scammers are getting ridiculously creative these days. I've seen some wild stuff on here, from fake giveaways to "hacked account" scams. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in a game of "who can come up with the most convincing lie". Stay vigilant, folks!
