Robinhood
Overview
Robinhood is a popular, user-friendly investing platform designed to make stock market access simple and affordable—especially for first-time investors. With $0 commissions on stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies, and no account minimums, it removes traditional barriers to entry so you can start building wealth with as little as a few dollars.
New users who sign up through our link can receive a free stock (valued between $5–$200) after funding their account—even if they only deposit $1. The available stocks include top companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, selected from the largest firms across 10 major S&P 500 sectors.
Robinhood’s intuitive mobile app makes it easy to track your portfolio, set alerts, and explore fractional shares—so you can invest in high-priced stocks without buying a full share. While it’s not a tool for business operations or marketing, many solopreneurs and creators use Robinhood to manage side investments or passive income streams alongside their online businesses.
