What the council said
Each of the five PRIME personas scored both hustles independently. Here's where each one landed.
Strong retainers.
Steady retainers from weekly shows create highly predictable cash flow.
Need a portfolio first.
Low barrier to entry. Free software and an internet connection are all you need to start.
Every business needs it.
Consistent demand as the creator economy grows, though entry-level editing is competitive.
Scales directly with time.
Scales linearly. You are trading time for money unless you build a production agency.
