Startup costs are typically estimated at around $100 to $1,000, depending on your equipment, software and insurance choices. These are estimates, not guarantees, so list your own needs first and confirm what each platform account will cost and who pays.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $400 to $3,000, depending on how many clients you take on, how often they run events and how many hours you work. Treat this as an estimate rather than a promise.

Check whether you need professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, and check with your city or county about a local business license even if you work from home. Also check privacy rules for client data and recordings, and get written consent where needed.
