When a company pays you a certain amount of cash per share that you own, that’s a dividend.  You can find investments that pay dividends by investing in dividend paying stocks, mutual funds that have a dividend strategy objective or even ETFs also known as Exchange Traded Funds that have a Dividend Strategy.

For example, if you decide to buy $10,000 of a stock and it paid a 3% dividend yield, you would get $300 a year just for owning it.

Many people that invest in dividend paying stocks like to take advantage of these steady dividend payments.  You will have the option to reinvest the dividends to purchase additional shares of stock or accumulate cash from these dividends. Some people use the dividend payment as income when retired.
