In my previous posts I have talked about how to eliminate risk from investing, how you should keep your change and invest it in crypto, and even how you can use your time to get more crypto if you don't have the finances available to invest. But what if you simply don't know where to start. 

Let's say you have searched endlessly online, read tons of posts, newsletters, and reviews and have finally decided that now you are ready to begin investing for your future financial freedom! Now what? Making the decision was only the first step, now it's time to actually act on that decision. My recommendation for the brand new investor is to jump onboard an easy to use exchange like my personal favorite Coinbase. I have mentioned this in other posts how coinbase allows you to "earn" certain crypto assets simply by watching videos and learning about them. They also have a feature that will pay you $10 worth of bitcoin for inviting a friend, and your friend gets paid also once they buy or sell $100 worth of crypto thru the exchange. The link from my coinbase partner program is  https://www.coinbase.com/join/hamilt_o21   This link is to join coinbase and to be able to use it as an exchange for the investing into and trading of cryptocurrency.

Once on Coinbase you can then proceed to "earn" the other currencies available under the earn tab by watching the videos.

These other crypto tokens that can be "earned" are:

EOS - and my personal link for that is https://www.coinbase.com/earn/EOS/invite/1k6grh29 

XLM - and my personal link for that is https://www.coinbase.com/earn/XLM/invite/mcb12qtd

Comp - they offer $9 worth of crypto for watching their videos and answering questions 

Now obviously these will sometimes change, meaning occasionally you can "earn" different tokens and in different amounts but the overall layout is the same. 

What should you do with this "earned" crypto that didn't cost you your dollars? That's entirely up to you. There are tons of strategies and techniques that you have to choose from. Personally, I use the "earned" token values to reduce my risk involved in investing. 

For example, say you want to start small because your still nervous about investing in crypto so you link a debit card to coinbase and purchase $10 worth of BAT (Basic Attention Tokens). Yay! Your first crypto investment!! Because your invest $10 your risk involved is valued at $10. Say after your watched the "earn" videos you earned $6 worth of EOS, $9 worth of Comp, and $5 worth of XLM (amounts vary, I chose numbers for easy math). Now your total portfolio is valued at $30 even tho you only invested $10 of your own dollars. You can then convert your "earned" tokens into the same token type you invested in - so you take your EOS, Comp, and XLM and convert them to BAT! Now you have $30 worth of BAT and you have still only risked $10! Let's say that later that day your BAT when up in value and now you crypto is valued at $40. You can now convert $10 back to USD (dollars) and transfer it back to your bank or paypal account. Now you have $30 worth of BAT and you have literally invested $0 into it! FREE MONEY!!!! And every penny it grows in value calculates out to an infinite percentage of return because it cost you nothing (dollar-wise) to do it. 

This is why savvy investors love crypto! Stop the hesitation, get started ASAP, it's only going to help you establish good investing habits that will help you grow toward the goal of this blog FINANCIAL FREEDOM thru investing in crypto.
