How to start investing with little money. This is a question I’m often asked by folks who are just getting started, and want to turn a small amount of cash into a small fortune.  

While it may seem like a big hill to climb, if you know what you’re doing, this is absolutely possible.  This, thanks to the gift of compound interest, which essentially allows you to earn interest on top of your interest — year after year, for decades. 

How to start investing with little money

Indeed, even if you start with just a little money, you can still build yourself a nice little nest egg.  And in just a moment, I’ll show you a great way to turn as little as $100 into more than $70,000 using compound interest.  But first, let’s dispel one major myth about compound interest. 

The Truth About How to Start Investing With Little Money

Compound interest investments can definitely be a part of a successful investment strategy. But some folks will attempt to trick you into believing they’re far more valuable than they actually are. 

For instance, check out this image published on the website Instore

I find this chart to be a bit misleading, for a few reasons…

  1. This assumes you live to 100 and never take out any of the money for your retirement years.  The point of starting early with compound interest is that you have that money available to you when you retire. 
  2. This also assumes that when you’re born, your parents will put $1,000 into a long-term investment paying 8% a year for 100 years.  Most people, especially young parents, don’t know how to find an investment that pays a guaranteed 8% a year. 
  3. Then consider things like recessions and market corrections.  If these investments are tied to public markets, you cannot be guaranteed a consistent rate of return.  Especially at 8%. 

A lot of people look at charts like that one and get very excited.  But they don’t get the full story. 

This doesn’t mean you can’t build wealth with compound interest.  You absolutely can.  In fact, this is the first thing I tell people who ask me how to start investing with little money.  But you also have to be realistic. 

If you only have $100, and let’s say you’re looking to take advantage of compound interest over the course of 25 years (which is far more realistic than 100 years), there’s no way you’ll walk away with millions of dollars.  

That being said, there is one long-term compound interest investment you can make that offers some pretty impressive returns. Even if you only have $100 to start out with.

It’s called a private solar royalty plan, and starting with just $100, you could earn an estimated return of $70,000. 

If you have a bit more, you could go in for $500 a month and earn an estimated return of $353,753.  That ain’t chump change.  And this is thanks to the gift of compound interest. 

Now the way private solar royalties work is pretty simple.  

You see, there’s a company that builds and finances large-scale solar power projects all across the globe.  Some of the financing for these things come from high net worth individuals who can pony up a couple million bucks at a time.  Then the rest comes from individual investors like you, who can invest as little as $100, and still earn monthly income alongside those rich guys. 

And the best part is that you don’t need a broker to get some of this action for yourself. 

You simply sign on to a dedicated platform, pick the project you want to invest in, and decide how much you want to invest.  Then you spend the next 20 to 25 years watching your initial investment grow.  Regardless of how much or how little you put in to start with. 

It really is that easy.  And if you don’t believe me, see for yourself in this Beginners Guide to Private Solar Royalties.

I put this guide together specifically for those who want to know how to start investing with little money.  I do hope you enjoy it.  And if you find that private solar royalties are right for you, you can actually start earning those royalties within minutes of reading this guide. It really is that easy.

To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth…
