start investing with these 6 etfs

Things are heating up

I just participated in a day-long bootcamp to help me decide on and solidify a digital product offering.

Truth be told, I’ve been feeling a little stuck recently in terms of next steps for my business, and for some reason my bills continue to come. They are so rude. So I’m pushing myself to move forward with a digital product offering that you all will be able to purchase via presale soon.

However, the question of “how can I truly add value to people’s lives in a quick and actionable way” became really important.

As a result, I decided to give you all this list today for complete free because:

1) It takes minimal effort for me to do it, and;

2) my goal is to make learning and achieving wealthy-building results little by little really easy for you.

6 must-have ETFs to kick-start your portfolio

Quick Overview of ETFs - ETFs typically consist of a collection of individual stocks that you can purchase by the share just like regular stocks. When you own shares of an ETF, you own a little bit of each stock being held by the ETF. mutual funds are similar, but the primary differences are that ETFs are usually passively managed, and there’s less barriers to ownership with ETFs. Sometimes mutual funds can expensive and you have to jump through some hoops to buy and sell them. Most of the the ETFs below are index tracking ETFs. This means, the goal of the fund is to track the performance of a particular index, or in other words, a specific collection of stocks.
