Dividend Investing for Beginners: Your First $1,000 in High Yield Stocks

When it comes to picking a stock market investing strategy, there’s a lot of options you can pick from. However, if you’ve ever taken a close look into each one, you’ll realize that dividend investing stands out in two major ways. Dividend investing is much less volatile than most of the other strategies that exist. But it’s also the only strategy that exists that allows you to build up a stream of passive income. Every other investing style requires you to sell shares of your holdings, and if the market happens to be down massively over a period of time, then you’ll have to eat into more of your investments to cover your expenses.

Dividend investing is one of the most popular forms of investing, not by just retirees, but by people who love having another income stream. Once you buy dividend paying investments, you just sit back and watch the dividends get deposited into your account. But it’s important to know that dividend investing is a long term strategy. You’ll never get rich overnight. But it is a much safer strategy at not only building wealth, but also creating a source of passive income. If you’re new to my channel, I’m both a dividend and an income investor. I invest for dividend growth, but also for higher yielding dividend stocks, which are often referred to as income holdings. With only one exception, everything I invest in yields a minimum of 4%, which differentiates me from most other dividend investors on YouTube.

Dividend investing is most effective when approached with a long-term perspective. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

Investing in dividend stocks can be a great strategy for generating steady income and potentially growing your wealth over time. Get started and don’t look back!

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Katherine Flores

I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200, 000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose?

I’m not sure you’ll see this but if you do, you’ve changed my life with your videos and I’m extremely grateful. I started back in April and I’m already at $340 in yearly dividends using a mix of growth and income yielding mostly monthly payments at an average of 6% (pushing for 7% as I size up my income positions). At this rate, I’ll be able to comfortably live off of my dividends in about a decade and I’ve even built a portfolio for my retiring parents to live off of (and this is beyond my retirement accounts). Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to all your future videos!

The great thing about dividend investing is when the market crashes and you're prepared, you end up making more money because you're getting all these dividends with higher yields. So we tend to appreciate the lower markets. Even though we've lost on paper capital gains, we got a lot more in the long run.

"Great video! Just what I needed to kickstart my dividend investing journey. I've been hoarding an emergency fund of $234k (yes, you read that right) and now looking to put that cash to work. Anyone else think putting your money in a savings account feels like watching paint dry? 🤣 Ready to see those high yields roll in! 💸💸💸"

It's impossible for someone to become wealthy suddenly. A valuable lesson I've picked up from billionaires is to always invest in a diverse range of securities and to put in background effort, even if we usually just see the final product. I intend to profit from the approximately $200k that I want to put in stocks this year.

love your channel man…thanks for the great content

Now, you have been one of the sources for the start of my investing journey.

Your opening remark that you need to think about safety early in your investing journey, I think is flawed. Just think about it. Invested capital early compared to total in the end is insignificant. The risk reward should be adjusted on the way as you learn, and evolve as an investor. You can easily compensate early losses with your monthly income. Where as later you cant. On the other hand hitting a multi bagger can greatly help you to climb on board the compounding effect.

vematum's impact on gaming could be revolutionary. Glad to be in early!

[MattMajcan]

i agree about the payments being motivating, thats why i like qdte since it pays weekly.

HTGC is getting destroyed today, waiting for your video on it :)

[zeqiuft]

Vematum's whitepaper blew me away. VEM is the future of crypto!

[jonathanfoster]

I would like to see a video on "investing a large windfall for income" My 401K was in mutual funds like vanguard S&P 500 but I wanted to switch to income investing. It is around $600K. I have rolled it into a fidelity IRA and have invested it into income generating stocks. I am retiring next month and am curious how you would invest something like that. I am currently generating around $70K now

[devgwyr]

You are on the point, but I invest only in ICOs and presales for Maximum profit. And I think Vematum will do at least 50x after the launch.

[singaniyasinganiya]

Versidium's growth is just starting. Excited!

[ADIL_GAMING]

Do you think vematum will pump before XRP?

[piyushchoudhary]

Invested in Versidium, feeling good about it!
