Risk: Moderate

Reselling social media accounts can be a risky side hustle for beginners starting from scratch, especially if they can't afford to lose money. There is a possibility of losing both money and time invested in acquiring or building up social media accounts for resale. Startup costs can include purchasing accounts, growing their following, and potential legal issues related to account ownership. Beginners may spend money on accounts that do not sell or face challenges in finding interested buyers. Online discussions often mention instances of failing to make a profit or losing money in this field. Overall, the risk of losing money and time is significant for newcomers.
