Risk: High

Website flipping involves buying, improving, and selling websites for a profit. Beginners may face risks such as losing money invested in purchasing or improving websites, wasting time and energy on unsuccessful flips, and experiencing a blow to their confidence if deals don't pan out. Startup costs typically range from $100 to $500, covering domain and hosting fees, website design, and marketing. It's not uncommon for beginners to spend money on websites that fail to sell or generate profit due to lack of experience or market demand. Online discussions often mention challenges like buying overvalued websites or underestimating the time and effort needed to make a site profitable. I'd rate the risk a 1 out of 3 because there is a high chance of losing money or not seeing returns, especially for those new to website flipping.
