Risk: Moderate

Starting a digital obituary writing side hustle can be risky for someone starting from scratch, especially if they can't afford to lose money. Potential losses include invested money in marketing, website development, and tools, as well as time and energy spent on content creation and client communication. Beginners may spend money on advertising or website setup without getting clients initially. There are startup costs for website hosting, domain registration, and marketing that may not pay off immediately. Online discussions mention challenges with finding clients and generating consistent income. I'd rate the risk a 2 out of 5 because there is a moderate chance of losing money, especially if the business doesn't gain traction quickly.
