Risk: Moderate

Selling Lightroom presets can be a risky side hustle for someone starting from scratch, especially if they can't afford to lose money. Beginners in this field could potentially lose money invested in purchasing software, marketing, and developing presets. While some individuals have seen returns on their investment, others have spent money without making any profits. Startup costs for this venture can range from $50 to $500 or more, including software and marketing expenses, which might not pay off immediately. Online discussions often highlight stories of individuals failing to generate income or losing money while trying to sell Lightroom presets.
