There's a minimum scale below which no one would bother to hire you. No one is going to hire someone with 4 phones set up.

If you can get business loans and financing, that's just another version of not exactlty being poor.

There is no minimum scale, because those who start are working for companies which organize it. Try searching on youtube: beermoney phone farm

They run 3rd party apps on their phones which automate whole process and they get some percent of profit. I imagine that when they grow they can start working for themselves.

There are grey and black market equivalents of those that someone on this end of the scale is more likely to use. No one's walking into a bank to ask for a loan to start a click farm.
