AI content freelancing
「Hours, sold in slices」
You get paid per finished job, so income tracks the hours you put in — and the ceiling is set by the same hours.
Attach AI to work you can already do, raise throughput, and sell it per job. The least to learn and the fastest route to cash.

We have zero cases with a verified earnings figure, so we do not invent a revenue range. What follows instead is arithmetic on published prices and official fee rates.
Where the money goes
One sale, start to finish — Market median · AI video
This is also the figure you report as revenue — not the amount that reaches your account.
- Service fee (16.4% / 9.4% / 4.4% 누진 구간)−₩14,678
- Payment network fee (3.3%)−₩2,954
- VAT on those fees (위 두 항목의 10%)−₩1,763
Output VAT ₩8,136 − input VAT on fees ₩1,763−₩6,373
⚠️ Tool costs, your own labour and income tax have not been taken out yet. Individual (non-business) accounts handle VAT differently and cannot issue tax invoices at all.
The ceiling you cannot pass in a month
Published delivery days divided into the working month. Not what you can earn — the line you cannot cross alone.
What these numbers are, and are not
- Nobody earned this. Not one listed case has a verified revenue figure.
- List prices and delivery days come off the seller's page; fee rates come from the platform's own documentation.
- “Max/mo” is division — 20 working days divided by the published delivery time. It does not mean orders arrive that steadily. In practice they do not.
- Operating profit here is before tool costs, your own labour and income tax. Rework and refunds are not in it either.
Who you sell to
