Risk: Moderate

Starting a side hustle selling PowerPoint templates can be risky for beginners, especially if they can't afford to lose money. Potential losses include money invested in software, design resources, and marketing, time spent creating templates, energy put into promotion, and confidence if sales are slow. Beginners may spend money on tools and resources but struggle to make sales, resulting in financial losses. There are startup costs for software and design resources that may not pay off if the templates don't sell well. Online feedback mentions instances of failing to make a profit due to high competition or lack of market demand.
