Can somebody explain me what 'investing' actually means? I often see advice that you should invest your money in things like index funds, deposits with compound interest etc. But if anyone can make money from investing, how/why does it even work?

Investing mean puting your money into something that you think will grow and give you an ROI- Return On Investment- profit. Different investments operate in different ways. Stocks can pay dividends in accordance with company profits. Many of them there is supply and demand in trading and the traffic influences price. Sell higher than you bought in for and you profit.

anyone can but you need a lot of money in the first place to get good returns

you can also invest in a trailor or tractor and rent it out to an industry (I make 100 a week renting out machinery to film industry) my inital investment was 36k and broke even years ago

Its basically betting on a horse for a long run.
There are a lot of things you can factor in though, its less of a bet in that way.
But its still gambling.

Not that there is anything wrong with gambling, unless you are a degen.
