Beginner friendly: Challenging

Starting a side hustle in DAO governance consulting can be challenging for the average beginner due to the complexity of decentralized autonomous organizations and the expertise required in blockchain technology and governance mechanisms. While there are resources online such as courses and forums to learn from, the learning curve can be steep for someone with no prior experience in this field. The setup costs range from $100 to $500 for education and tools. It may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to start earning a profit as one needs to build a reputation and network in the blockchain community. I'd rate it a 1 because of the high level of specialized knowledge and experience needed to succeed in this niche area.
