Beginner friendly: Moderate

Starting as a product mockup designer can be relatively easy for beginners with no special skills or background. There are online resources like tutorials on YouTube and design communities on Reddit where one can learn the basics. The key is to have a good eye for design and some basic graphic design software knowledge. Setting up costs range from minimal to moderate, depending on the software and tools you choose to use. With consistent effort and practice, beginners can start earning a profit within 2 weeks by offering their services on freelance platforms or reaching out to businesses directly. I'd rate it a 3 because while it requires some learning and effort, it is a feasible side hustle for most people.
