How and Where to Invest

We’ve gone through all of this information on dividend investing, but there’s probably one question still on your mind: how do I actually get started?

You would first start by opening a brokerage account, which is where stocks and bonds are typically traded. Some popular beginner friendly brokers include Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, Robinhood, and TD Ameritrade. You can pick whether you would like to open a taxable brokerage account or a retirement account, which grows tax-deferred but is harder to withdraw from.

From there, link your bank and transfer the money you feel comfortable investing - you can start with as little as $1. Then buy the stocks you choose, and continue managing them over time.
