The Essential Lazy Man’s Guide to Online Stock Trading

Let’s face it, everyone needs money. People want a simple easy way to make money that allows them to sit back and enjoy life instead of stressing about work. But is there really something like that out there?

Online share trading can be a rewarding way to earn money online. There are some important things to know before you get started, but if you are looking for a simple way to make money from your home, this might be for you. Here are some things to know before you start trading.

Why Trade Online

Trading online can be a very easy way to start bringing in some extra income and even to make a living. There are different kinds of stocks to trade in and different ways to invest. By investing in shares you obtain ownership rights which allow you to collect dividends and participate in shareholder meetings. So, how do you start trading?

Find a Broker or Platform

First, you will need to have your own brokerage account or find an online trading platform. You can find online market share apps to download on your phone or use a platform found online. If you want a little more support you can go through a full-service brokerage account that will buy and sell for you, as well as conduct market research, and give you a commission.

Get Licensed

Not all forms of online trading need a license. If you are going into business for yourself with no interaction with any other customers, you won’t need a license. If you are going to be handling any buying or selling of stocks for other people you would have to look into licensing your business.

Open An Investment Account

It may take a few days to have access, but opening an account is pretty easy. Just remember to have your ID– passport, or some other government ID– ready. You will be able to fund your account through bank transfer, debit card, credit card, or sometimes PayPal.

Find Your First Share

Now, it’s not all coasting, you do need to put in some research to know what would be a good start for your first share. You want to choose a profitable company that will allow you to turn a profit and that is concrete. As a tip for beginners, don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. Especially when starting out, you won’t be batting 100. There are risks to investing in stocks.

Sell Your Shares

In order to make decent money, you need to sell quickly. Don’t hold out for the big return or you will lose money. How quickly you should sell depends on what kind of stocks you are investing in.

While there is some research to be done to get started, online stock trading can be quite easy to learn with the right tools. Armed with a computer and your brain power you could take on the market! See what stocks suit your interests, and jump into the exciting world of trading.
