Risk: Moderate

Starting a side hustle as an Email Deliverability Consultant can be risky for someone starting from scratch, especially if they can't afford to lose money. The potential losses include money invested in training, tools, and marketing efforts, as well as time and energy spent without seeing immediate returns. Beginners may spend money on courses or software tools without getting clients or generating income. There are startup costs for training and software that might not pay off if clients are not secured. Some online sources mention the challenges of failing to attract clients or struggling to compete in a crowded market, leading to financial losses. I'd rate the risk a 2 out of 3 because while it is possible to break even or experience minor losses, there is a moderate level of risk involved in terms of financial investment and time commitment.
