If you’ve been looking for a sign to get started investing, then our new course is probably it.

Dear Investing Heroes,

Kate here, co-host of The Australian Finance Podcast and the person ready to help you invest your money and time, better!

I’ve got a pretty exciting announcement today (well for me at least…anything to do with investing grabs my attention).

We’ve just launched a brand new course with our friends at Equity Mates.

Get Started Investing course with Equity Mates

This brand-new online course is designed to help you (or a mate) take the first step on your investment journey, and it’s aptly named Get Started Investing.

If you’re ready to set up your brokerage account and buy some shares or ETFs, we cover all that and more in this course. Plus, it’s FREE, because we all remember how hard that very first step on the journey was.

Kate’s Tip: If you’ve ever wanted to get a partner, friend or family member interested in investing, but didn’t know where to start, this course could be the perfect way to kick off the discussion.

We’ve kept things light-hearted and include plenty of resources to get you started. Click here to get started investing (for free) today!

One of the investing jokes that gets passed around is: What’s the best way to make a small fortune in the stock market? Start off with a big one.

The thing is, investing is both an art and a science. But, it is something you can learn and get better at.

So what on earth does this course even cover?

Take this course if you want to learn:

  • What the heck is the share market and why should I invest in it?
  • How do I choose a broker?
  • Investing for dividend income (aka “passive income”)
  • Buying your very first share or ETF (it’s not as scary as it sounds)
  • The easy way to build a share and ETF portfolio from the ground up
  • Setting investment goals (and how to stick to them)
  • Simple ways to manage your taxes
  • Share registries and what you need to know after you make your first investment

Not only that, we’ll demystify the 10 most common (and confusing) investing terms, and unpack the holy grail of investing — passive dividend income and franking credits.

Finally, we’ll hit you up with a short 10-question quiz to test your knowledge, before sending you on your way with plenty of tools and resources to get started investing.
