Beginner friendly: Moderate

Creating video game assets can be a profitable side hustle for beginners. With the abundance of online tutorials and resources available on platforms like YouTube and forums like Reddit, individuals with no prior experience can start learning the necessary skills. The accessibility of free or low-cost software tools also makes it easier for beginners to get started. While mastering asset creation may take time and practice, the potential to earn money by selling these assets online is achievable. I'd rate it a 3 because although it requires dedication and learning, most beginners can start earning a profit with time and effort.
