If you have a minimal amount of money to begin with, then right now it sounds like Robinhood would be your best platform, no commission charged so you can start as small as you want without feeling eaten away by commissions. You're already thinking like that so at least you have a good head on your shoulders.

Commissions will eat away at you - think about it if you're investing in $500 chunks and your commission is $10, that's 4% you lose to a roundtrip transaction ($10 to buy, $10 to sell). As you get more money and do larger trades it becomes less relevant, but it's just something to think about.
