Beginner friendly: Challenging

Starting an AI game asset creation and licensing business typically requires knowledge of AI technology, game development, and licensing agreements. Beginners without background in these areas may find it very difficult to start earning a profit. Online resources like tutorials and courses can help in learning the necessary skills, but it can still be challenging to break into the competitive market. The setup costs range from $500 to $2000 for software and training. Time to profit can vary greatly, with most beginners taking 6 months to 1 year to start earning consistently. I'd rate it a 1 because of the high barrier to entry in terms of required expertise and competition in the industry.
