Startup cost: $100 - $1k

Setup costs for starting a blockchain game beta testing side hustle can range from $100 to $1,000. At the low end, the bare minimum expenses might include setting up a basic website, creating social media accounts for promotion, and potentially investing in some basic testing tools. On the higher end, for those wanting to do it right, expenses could include premium website development, advanced analytics tools for testing, paid advertising for user acquisition, and possibly purchasing high-quality beta testing devices. Essential expenses include website hosting, domain registration, and basic testing tools. Optional expenses could be premium analytics tools and paid advertising campaigns. Hidden or unexpected costs might arise from software licensing fees or unexpected device testing requirements. Based on online discussions, costs for this side hustle can start low but may increase once you commit to premium tools and services. If a friend wanted to take this seriously, I would suggest budgeting around $500 to $700 to cover essential expenses and potentially some optional tools for a more robust start.
