    My main piece of advice would be you'd probably be better posting in the savings & investments forum.

    The only thing I would say is are you aware of the trading charges (£10+) so the 'small amount' can only be so small.

    Also you want to 'increase your income' , have you thought what you mean by this as, unless you are intending to invest in a company with a reliable cashflow (and reliable dividends) you could obviously lose the money invested.
