Tess AI has the largest marketplace of agent creators in the world, allowing its users to monetize their agents and generate revenue from them. This article presents the different ways to generate revenue on the platform.
Ways to Monetize Your Creations
There are three main ways to generate revenue with your content on Tess AI. You can combine them to maximize your earning potential.
1. Selling Agents (Templates)
You can create and sell custom AI agents to other users on the platform (one-time sale). When they buy your agent, the user gets the right to clone the model and use the prompt you created.
How to set up an agent for sale:
Go to the Agent Studio and create a new agent.

After finishing the setup and training, save the agent and go back to the main Studio screen.

Make sure your agent’s status is set to "Published".

Hover over the agent card and click the pencil icon to edit the information. Fill in the description fields, add relevant categories, and a cover image

On the same screen, set the sale price for your template.

2. Earnings per Agent Execution
Besides the one-time sale, you can be paid systematically every time a user runs one of your agents, even if they haven’t bought it.
To activate this option, go to the same agent editing screen and enable the "Earn on each run ('run')" option. Then you’ll need to set a markup, meaning a multiplier that will be applied to the base credit cost of the run.

It’s important to find a balance: a higher multiplier increases how much you earn per run, but it also raises the cost for the end user. Try different values to find the sweet spot that maximizes your return without discouraging usage.
3. Workspace Subscriptions
You can also offer subscriptions to your Workspace and turn your profile into a source of recurring income. Users who subscribe to your Workspace will have access to the prompts of all agents you create from the moment they subscribe.
A well-organized Workspace with a clear visual identity and valuable content is key to attracting and keeping subscribers.
Strategies to Maximize Your Earnings
Keep a professional profile: A complete and up-to-date profile conveys credibility.
Create valuable content: Regularly publish agents and insights to keep your audience engaged.
Increase your visibility: Make some agents publicly and freely available so more users can get to know your work.
Use keywords: Optimize the description of your agents with relevant terms so they can be easily found in the platform search.
With dedication and strategy, Tess AI can become an important source of income, rewarding your talent and creativity.
