Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while e-commerce consulting can provide a decent baseline income, it is not as predictable as a traditional job. The income can fluctuate based on client acquisition, market demand, and competition. It's not a 2 because there is potential for consistent work with the right network and expertise, but it's not a 4 because it lacks the stability and predictability of a regular paycheck.
