Startup cost: $50 - $5k

Building affiliate funnels can be a low-cost way to start a side hustle. Costs range from $50 to $500 for beginners and can go up to $1,000 to $5,000 for those wanting more advanced tools and services. Essential expenses include domain registration, web hosting, funnel building software, and possibly some initial advertising budget. Optional expenses might include premium funnel templates or affiliate marketing courses. Hidden fees could include monthly software subscriptions or ad spend. Online feedback suggests that costs can escalate once you commit, especially with additional tools and services. For a friend looking to take this seriously, I would recommend budgeting around $500 to $1,000 initially.
