Step by Step Dividend Investing: A Beginner's Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks and Income Investments

by Joseph Hogue

Stop Playing the Stock Market Game with the Only Stock Investment to Consistently Beat the Market Over the 15 years through 2014, stocks in the S&P 500 lost money a third of the time with investors losing an average of 16% when the market tumbled. Even on gains in other years, investors earned an annualized return of just 2.3% over the period...that's barely enough to cover inflation. But one group of stocks has consistently beaten the stock market game. In fact, this group has provided a source for positive returns every single year - without fail. Even when the prices of dividend stocks fall, the regular stream of cash they provide is a constant source for positive returns. After reading this book, you'll know exactly how to take advantage of returns on dividend stocks and how to build a portfolio around income investments. This book is the second in a series of four, outlining a step-by-step process for a simple investing strategy. In this book about investing in stocks that regularly put money in your pocket, I start off by showing you the power of dividend investing. After talking about the three income investments everyone needs in their portfolio, I'll show you how to put together an investing plan that will benefit from a regular stream of cash and upside price appreciation. In this book you'll learn: The four reasons why everyone needs to own dividend stocks and how they can help you reach financial freedom. (pg. 8) One group of dividend stocks that outperformed the stock market by 100% over the last decade. (pg. 22) The real estate dividend investment that has returned 13% a year for four decades. (pg. 24) The reason most investors lose money and a simple four-step process for investing in dividend stocks.

Scroll up and buy Step-by-Step Dividend Investing. Check out the rest of the investing books in the series for simple investing strategies in bonds, emerging market stocks and dividend stocks.

About the author

I love talking investments and personal finance!!

*Stop by my two blogs: PeerFinance101.com and Crowd101.com *

Born and raised in Iowa, I graduated from Iowa State University after serving in the Marine Corps. I started my professional career as a commercial real estate agent and in corporate finance before finding my passion for investment analysis. I still love real estate as an investment and have managed my own rental properties since 2002.

After working as an investment analyst for nearly a decade, I decided to start two blogs on personal finance and crowdfunding. Finance in America is opening up to everyone through peer lending and crowdfunding and it is helping people do some pretty amazing things. I enjoy talking about how people can use the two 'alternative' funding sources in their everyday financial lives.

I've appeared on Bloomberg as an expert in emerging market investing and have led a team of equity analysts for sell-side research (stock investing research). Besides running two blogs, PeerFinance101 and Crowd101, I still work as a freelance investment analyst for advisors and institutional investors.

I hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, the gold standard for ethical and professional conduct in investment management, as well as a Masters in Business and dual degrees in finance and communications.

3.75/5 - Good, short, and straight to the point high level overview.

Book 2 of 4 in the series. Again, no one book is enough. But one should always consider possibilities when it comes to investing. Here is another one. The author explains how dividend investing works and explains the advantages and the risks. I like the way he writes that this does not fit his particular investment needs, but it is information for those whose needs to include this type of investment.

I started my journey into stocks not very long ago. I sought out books to help me on the subject, like this one. Like the others, it provided good insight into dividend investing! Similar points and the bonus chapter itself was a treat.

I hope others have wonderful success on your investing journeys! Since dividend investing was my plan after considering my options and finances, this book was a helpful read. Highly recommend!

This book is an okay starting point for anyone completely new to dividend investing. It covers the basic concepts well enough, and the step-by-step approach is easy to follow. But it's not exactly groundbreaking or revelatory. It's a decent primer, but you'll definitely need to read other books to get a more comprehensive understanding.

Concise short book that can kick you off into action

We constantly encountered think books which content befits only for a magazine. This book is concise that if you're focused enough, you can finish it in an hour and be on your way in your investment journey.

This is a book about blogging not dividend investing.

The cover and the actual book are 2 different things. This book is about starting a profitable blog not how to investing in dividends. Very disappointing.

[Santos Campos · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basic stuff,........... nothing that will make you rich or make you a more successful investor, unless you are just a beginner in the game, probably will just confirm some of the things you are doing or planning on doing.

[Kirk G. Meyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice starting place for investors

The book is geared towards newer investors but it is a good read for someone who just wants to reinforce some of the basics. The author provides a good glimpse into the financial world but could have gone into some more details. Overall a good book for what it is advertised as.
