Startup cost: $50 - $500

Setup costs range from $50 to $500 depending on the level of customization and professionalism you desire. At a minimum, you would need a computer, design software (like Adobe Creative Suite or Canva), and a platform to sell your templates (such as Etsy or your own website). Additional expenses might include marketing tools or services for promotion. Optional expenses could include purchasing stock images or fonts to enhance your templates. Hidden costs may arise from transaction fees or subscription charges for software. In online discussions, some mention that costs can increase once you commit, especially if you invest in advertising or premium design resources. To take this side hustle seriously, I would recommend budgeting around $200 to $300 to cover initial setup and basic marketing expenses.
