I've recently started on this journey myself. I've picked up a used Canon T1i, a 50mm lens, Goldmund's "Camera Game" book, and signed up for this free course -> https://philliphaumesserphotography.com/
As you can see, I'm about $200 in. You might want to spend more if you're trying to make a side hustle out of it.
I wouldn't drop a lot of cash on anything but equipment.
You have to learn the angles and perspective. Essentially seeing the world how the camera sees it and not how you see it. That just takes experience and practice.
Photoshop is the most important and you can learn anything you want to do from YouTube. I did some Cosplay photography and did fireballs and lightening that look great... learned it on YouTube.
