Startup cost: $200 - $2.5k

The low-end estimate covers essential costs like a basic LinkedIn Premium subscription for networking and job postings, a simple website or online portfolio, and minimal marketing efforts. The high-end estimate includes advanced recruiting software, professional website design, paid advertising on platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook, and possibly a virtual assistant to help with administrative tasks. Hidden costs might include ongoing subscription fees for tools and unexpected marketing expenses. While some claim it's low-cost, expenses can increase as you scale and seek more professional tools.
