The growth of your money is based on percentage not amount. If you focus on amount you'll spend so much time trying strategies that are bigger than your bank account.
If you can discipline yourself to create a stock account and deposit a certain amount monthly, the next step would be to focus strategically on buying good companies whose stocks are still cheap.
One major warning, as a retail investor ignore FAANG and focus on cheaper stocks that have the potentials of bringing 300-500%, repeat this a couple of times and your capital and networth increases.
$VFF price was at $0.75 at some point, and today it's trading at $2.60 with potentials of reaching $4. Even the current return is already very good.
$FCEL moved from $3.82 to $24.65 , with potentials of getting to $50. Even the current return is okay.
$PLUG is currently trading at $4.14, with potentials of reaching $8.
Another method is buying USD when NGN is high, and selling USD when it gets high.
Start a business, learn a skill that's sellable. If you do not have finances to do any of the mentioned above, get a job to give you that opportunity to have cash flow.
These are some of the methods I have used overtime.
There's one thing I tell people, focus on % and not the amount. If they focus on the amount, they'll end up chasing strategies that do not work for them.
