There are a few ways.

The most common is to open a brokerage account (the minimum amount you can open an account with by law is $1000, but many brokerages require more) then buy and sell through the brokerage.

It's possible to buy stock directly from some companies. You normally must already be a stockholder in that company to do that.

There are a lot of employee investment programs out there that let people who work for the company directly purchase its stock.

And finally, if you know someone who either has the stock you want or wants to buy what you have, you can deal directly with that investor.
