How to Start Investing: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

You don’t need to know everything about investing. You just need to know what to do next.

You’ve probably heard that investing is one of the smartest ways to give your money the opportunity to grow over the long term.

You’ve probably also heard about ISAs, ETFs, stocks, funds, platforms, pensions, compound growth…

And that’s where things get confusing.

You know you should start investing. But then you start wondering:

Where do I even begin?

Which investment account do I need?

What should I actually invest in?

How much money do I need?

What if I choose the wrong thing?

How do I know what’s right for me?

So you put it off. And tell yourself you’ll figure it out later.

COURSES DESIGNED TO HELP YOU GET STARTED


Instead of giving you more information to sift through, it gives you a clear, practical roadmap to becoming an investor.

You don’t need a finance degree.
You don’t need to understand the stock market.
And you don’t need a huge amount of money sitting in your bank account.
You simply need to know what to do, and in what order.

How do I start investing as a beginner?

As a beginner, it is important to follow a clear, well-researched course that shows you exactly how to open an investment account, deposit funds, choose your first investment and build your portfolio over time.

The best courses are simple, free from technical jargon and don’t make any ‘get rich quick’ promises.

Which MoneyMagpie Invest course is the best for me?

The best value for money is the complete course collection which gets you 25% off our entire range of courses.
If you are interested in buying individual courses, we recommend starting with course 1 to learn the basics and then choosing additional courses based on the areas that you find the most confusing.

How do I access the MoneyMagpie Invest courses?

Once you purchase a MoneyMagpie Invest course, you will be given a PDF that contains instructions of how to access the courses. Follow each step of the instructions to start your course.

Can I start investing without a course?

Yes, anyone can sign up to an investment platform and start investing.

However, getting started without learning how the process works leaves you more vulnerable to making mistakes that could seriously cost you down the line!

When money is involved, it is best to invest in learning as much as possible before you jump in.
