So why invest in Crowdfunding? For one thing, Crowdfunding will be very
simple – find a company you love and invest in it! You will be able to find all of the
information you will need about these businesses on Crowdfunding platforms,
like InCrowd Capital, where you will be able to determine which companies you
like enough to invest in. On most
platforms, you can invest as little as $50-$100 in a company that you
like. The businesses will be smaller,
growing or startup companies that have higher risk, but also have higher
chances for large returns – one of the major appeals of Crowdfunding!
To invest in Crowdfunded businesses, you do not need to be
familiar with stock market investing, bonds, mutual funds or ETFs, or know
anything about market caps or P/E ratios.
That is why I love Crowdfunding.
Trading stocks is complex, with an overwhelming amount of statistics and
data, and I hated trading with huge banks, hedge funds and trading firms that got
information two weeks before I was able to; by then, the markets had moved and
it was too late to do anything with my money.
With Crowdfunding, you do not have to worry about what the President
says or what is happening in Europe.
I know that raises some more questions, so in my next few posts,
I will be touching on some other Crowdfunding basics you will need to know
before getting started. Here is what you
