Dividend investing is a strategy in which investors seek out companies that consistently pay dividends to their shareholders. These dividends are a portion of the company's profits that are distributed to shareholders on a regular basis.

To invest in dividend-paying stocks, investors first need to identify companies that have a history of paying dividends and are expected to continue to do so in the future. They can then buy shares of these companies on the stock market and hold onto them for a period of time in order to receive the dividends.

The amount of dividends received will depend on the number of shares an investor owns and the dividend payout rate of the company. As the company's profits increase, the dividend payout rate may also increase, leading to higher dividends for shareholders.

In addition to providing a source of passive income, dividend investing can also provide stability and growth potential for an investment portfolio. Dividend-paying companies are typically established, well-established businesses with strong financials, which can help protect investors from market volatility.
