If you have only $50, you need to first become a saver. Don't even think about being an investor yet. Do everything you can do to get out of any short term or revolving debt you have now. You'll accomplish so much more doing this and perhaps also focusing on reducing spending to enable you to accumulate more to invest later. You could start investing when you have at least $50 dollars every month to invest. There are mutual funds which will draft that much every month from your checking account. Any investor - even a small one - must think of producing at least tens of thousands and continuing an investement discipline for years. Investing is done for a major goal (college, retirement, etc) not for some consumer purchase. And don't fall for any quick schemes. When you do start to invest, start cautiously and allow yourself to learn as you go. Like anything, it takes time to learn to be a good investor.
