Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting a digital marketing agency can be challenging for beginners due to the need for knowledge in areas like marketing strategies, social media management, and online advertising. While there are online resources like courses and tutorials available, gaining practical experience and building a client base can take time. The setup costs can range from $500 to $2000 for tools and software. It may take around 2-6 months to start seeing a consistent profit as you establish your reputation and clientele. I'd rate it a 2 because although it's possible to learn the necessary skills, beginners may struggle without prior experience or guidance.
