Before we explore ways to earn from the share market online, a note of caution - the stock market is a volatile asset without guaranteed returns. However, it is also true that in the long-term equity has delivered more than inflation-adjusted returns amongst all asset classes.
Without further ado, here are some ways to earn money from the share market:
Prepare Before Investing in the Share Market Online
While this may seem obvious, investors must prepare themselves properly before they start to invest in the share market online. To avoid future inconvenience, here are some ways to prepare yourself for investing in the stock market:
Research: There are a variety of factors affecting the share market movements – both local as well as international. As these factors are not in anyone’s control, daily market movements are unpredictable, and so these need to be studied before investing. Also Read: What is Daily Margin Statement?
Prepare Your Mind: Neither should you be greedy nor afraid while investing in the share market online. These are the two factors that almost always result in inappropriate decisions. While you will expect to make the best out of your investments in the stock market, your goals must be realistic and attainable.
Analyse Your Risk Potential: Don’t get swayed by the decisions of others before you make your own. It is important to consider the trends, however, because the investing capacity of every individual is different, set your entry and exit points and swear by them.
Avoid Herd Mentality: Don’t invest in the share market or buy stocks without understanding the business and the company’s financials simply because you feel left out when a stock shoots up. This herd mentality investing leaves you at the mercy of the big operators, which is a financially damaging situation.
Build a Diversified Portfolio
Diversification of stocks across sectors and market capitalisation of stocks is important while investing in the share market. This is because every sector has its own set of challenges to overcome, and when the economic environment is not favourable for one, not all your investments are vulnerable.
For new investors in the share market, it is recommended that purchases are restricted to large-cap stocks comprising the index. Once investors acquaint themselves with the stock market landscape, they can think of investing in emerging companies after carefully analysing their business and financial standing.
Don’t Try to Time the Stock Market
Market timing is when buying and selling of stocks are done by predicting future stock market price movements. You can indeed earn money by investing in the share market online; however, by timing the stock market, you can lose your hard-earned money quickly.
This is because accurately predicting the top and bottom prices of stocks is not possible. While buying low and selling high is every investor’s idea of utopia, trying to predict it might result in heavy loss of finances.
Pay When You Profit in Share Market
You can also choose to invest in pay when you profit brokerage scheme. This is not particularly to earn money but to save it. Usually, under the pay when you profit scheme, when the buy and the sell leg are executed on different exchanges, they will not be considered as an intraday trade.
This means that under the pay when you profit scheme, the calculation of profit and loss will not be considered to be charged a tariff. Instead, pay when you profit plan charges your intraday exchanges by considering each leg as a delivery trade. In essence, you only have to pay when you profit in the share market.
