Midjourney v6 produces commercial-quality visuals that would cost hundreds of dollars from a stock photo library or designer. Here is how to use it effectively for business.
Getting Started
Midjourney runs through Discord. Join the Midjourney Discord server, go to any #newbies channel, and type /imagine followed by your prompt. The Basic plan ($10/month) gives you 200 image generations per month.
Prompt Structure for Business Images
Effective business prompts follow this pattern: [subject] [context] [style] [technical parameters]
Example: "A professional woman reviewing analytics on a laptop, modern minimalist office, natural light, corporate photography style, --ar 16:9 --v 6"
Parameters to Know
- --ar 16:9 - Aspect ratio (16:9 for presentations and social banners)
- --ar 1:1 - Square (Instagram posts)
- --ar 9:16 - Portrait (TikTok and Instagram Stories)
- --style raw - Less stylised, more photorealistic output
- --v 6 - Use version 6 (the latest)
Best Business Use Cases
- Blog post hero images
- Social media visuals
- Presentation backgrounds
- Product concept visualisation
- Email header images
Commercial Rights
Paid Midjourney plans include commercial usage rights for generated images. The Basic plan at $10/month is all you need for most business applications.
