Great guide that explains the basics behind margin trading. It should be noted that this is a skill that takes time to learns, and beginners should never invest more than "play money" in it until they get the hang of it.
Another great idea for beginners is utilizing "fake money modules". Some margin trading platforms let you invest with play money for learning purposes, which serves great for those who wants to practice without risking losing money.
