How to make money licensing your likeness.

What "licensing your likeness" actually means

Licensing your likeness means you let a brand use an AI version of your face, your voice, or both — and you get paid each time they use it. You're not selling your face. You're renting it out, on your terms, for specific uses you approve. Think of it like streaming royalties — but for your image instead of a song.

An AI likeness is built from a few photos and a short voice clip. Once it's live, a brand can generate content with it — a product video, an ad, a photo — without you filming anything. You earn from the use, not the labor.

You don't have to be famous

This is the part most people get wrong. Brands aren't only casting celebrities or creators with millions of followers. They're casting looks and voices that fit a product — the relatable neighbor, the gym regular, the warm narrator, the everyday face that feels real in an ad. If brands would want to work with your look or your voice, you belong here.

Why control comes first — the cautionary tale

You've probably heard the horror stories. People recorded a day of footage for an "AI avatar" startup, got paid a flat few hundred dollars, and later found their face selling things they never agreed to — in ads they couldn't take down, with no royalties and no say in where it ended up. Some only found out when friends spotted them in a stranger's commercial.

That is exactly what cloneaible is built to prevent. Here, nothing happens without your opt-in. You choose the categories you allow. You control who you appear alongside. And you can change your permissions or opt out completely, anytime — effective going forward, immediately. Here's how that safety model works in detail.

How cloneaible works, step by step

• Apply. Tell us a little about you. It takes about 30 seconds, and it's free.
• Upload your set. A few clear photos and a short voice clip — read a prompt from your phone.
• We build & screen. We create a faithful AI likeness with automated quality screening — flagged cases get a human review before any brand sees it.
• Set your rules. Pick the use categories you allow. Everything else is blocked by default.
• Brands license you. Vetted brands generate content within your approved categories.
• You get paid. You earn a share every time your likeness is used.

What you can realistically expect to earn

Earning potential varies — a lot — and we won't pretend otherwise. There are no guaranteed payouts. Income scales with how often your likeness is licensed, which depends on demand, the brands looking, and how well your look or voice fits what they need. Some likenesses get used often; some rarely. Treat any number you see online as illustrative, not a promise.

What we can say plainly: you only ever earn — joining is free, and you're never charged.
