Startup cost: $50 - $500

Setup costs range from $50 to $500 depending on the scale and quality of the materials you choose. At the bare minimum, you would need basic graphic design software (or free online tools), a computer, and internet access. Optional expenses could include premium design software subscriptions, print materials for samples, Etsy listing fees, and basic marketing tools. Recurring fees may include Etsy listing fees and potential advertising costs. While some sellers start with minimal expenses, others find that investing in high-quality designs and marketing tools can lead to quicker success. If you want to take this side hustle seriously, budgeting around $200 to $300 upfront would be reasonable to cover essential tools and initial marketing efforts.
