Investing
Finance and investing is one of my main passions these days, and I’ve written extensively about my experiences on this blog.
If you want to check out some online platforms to get an idea why I’m so excited about the endless possibilities for investing right from the comfort of our homes, check out the lists below.
Most platforms are available to international investors. Typically, U.K. based platforms and many U.S. based platforms restrict the investor pool to their own citizens due to their countries regulatory complications, however the European platforms are typically open to all investors except those hailing from a few blacklisted countries.
P2P Lending Platform Reviews
P2P lending is an alternative investment that comes with its own risks but can provide high returns. I’ve been averaging around 12% across all the platforms I’ve invested in. You will lose some money at some point due, but this will usually be compensated by the profits you would have earned.
Here are a few of my favorite P2P lending investment platforms:
I’ve written extensively about this topic, so make sure you head over to my page on P2P lending for a deep dive into this asset class.
Property / Real Estate Platform Reviews
Real estate investing needs little introduction. We all know that this asset class has been one of the top choices for investors since time immemorial. Nothing beats owning land and buildings. It’s an asset that you can see, use or rent out. It doesn’t require any technical knowledge so the barrier to entry is very low. And that is why real estate remains the number one place for people to park their money.
I have been dabbling in real estate through various platforms over the years, and this has given me a good idea of what works and what doesn’t. Here’s a quick list of some of my favorite platforms reviewed on this site.
For more information about real estate investing you can head over to my dedicated page on property investments and choose from the many articles I’ve written on this topic.

Products I Use
I’m very passionate about products, and one of my hobbies consists of researching and trying out products.
Creating a Blog
WordPress is my chosen platform for creating blogs, and I wrote an introductory guide to starting a blog, so check that one out if you’re interested in doing something similar to what I’m doing here.
Hosting
I’ve written a post about how I found my ideal hosting for my WordPress sites, so you should definitely check that out if you want to know more about my selection process.
For a quick recommendation, however, these are my favorite web hosts:
Beginner sites:
High traffic sites:
Domains
The first thing you need when starting a new website is, of course, a domain name.
- Namesilo is where I’ve got most of my domains registered, they offer free WHOIS protection. Their .com domain registrations start from $8.99.
- Namecheap is where I register my .io domains. Prices for domains start at $3.98.
Productivity
I recommend Freedom.to if you are looking for a cross-platform solution for blocking out distracting websites for stretches of time. It works flawlessly and will repay your investment very quickly. It is one of my essential tools since I suffer from the shiny object syndrome.
Similar applications are Focus and Self Control. Freedom is the only cross-platform solution at the moment.
I use Blinkist for
- quickly revising books that I’ve read already
- discovering new books and deciding whether I want to read the full book
- exploring new topics in a non-daunting way
I’ve also written dedicated posts about the hardware and software I use.
Followupthen is one of my essentials in Gmail.
Travel Insurance
Since we travel alot, I use Safety Wing which is the most user-friendly travel insurance I’ve found, and is especially great for digital nomads or remote teams.
Music for Working
Here are my favorite sites/apps for listening to music while working:
Deals
FoundersCard and JoinSecret are two websites I use to get great deals on a lot of the software I use. They are great if you’re an entrepreneur.
Sign up for joinsecret.com and use the promo code REBEL349835 to get 20% off on any membership plan with Secret. Membership enables you to access all deals unlimited. Enjoy!
