First open a bank account and keep aside some investment money that should be separate from money for day-to-day expenses and emergencies.  Do research on various investments, gold related articles and make informed choices.  Look up brokers and their track records, talk to friends who also invest and choose the right broker to help you with your investment.  Open an account with the broker and give them access to your investment account, including clear instructions as to how much can be withdrawn.  Keep tabs of all your investments and market trends and you can invest safely.
