job. But the problem is we only have $25 per week to spare. So the only strategy for this is using the drip investment strategy. Drip, or dividend reinvestment plan, is a smart way to grow your investments over time. Think of it
like planting a seed and watching it grow into a mighty tree. Instead of soil and water, you use your dividends to buy more shares, which then generate more dividends, creating a cycle of growth. Here's how it works. Imagine you own
shares in a company that pays dividends. Instead of taking those dividends as cash, you reinvest them to buy more shares. This means you own more shares which, in turn, generate even more dividends. It's like a snowball rolling
down a hill, getting bigger and bigger with each revolution. One of the key benefits of drip is compound interest. When you reinvest your dividends, you buy more shares, and when those shares pay dividends, you reinvest them as well.
This snowball effect leads to exponential growth over time. Let's break it down with an example. Suppose there's a stock that's worth $20 per share and you own 100 shares of that company. It pays a $1 dividend per share each year. At the end
of year one, you'll have $100 in dividends. Instead of cashing out, you reinvest and buy 5 more shares of the stock. Now you have 105 shares of the company. The next year, instead of receiving $100, you'll get $105 in
dividends. The following year, you'll own 110 shares, then 120, and so on, each time increasing the dividend amount. Over time, your investment grows larger and larger thanks to the power of compound interest. Another benefit of drip is
dollar cost averaging. Instead of trying to time the market, you buy shares regularly regardless of whether the market is up or down. This helps to smooth out the highs and lows, averaging out the cost per share over time. Let's see how this works.
Suppose you invest $100 every month in a company's drip. Some months, the share price might be high, so you'll buy fewer shares. In other months, the share price might be low, so you'll buy more shares. Over time, your average cost per share will be somewhere in between,
helping to reduce the impact of market fluctuations.

Finally, drip offers the convenience of automatic investment. Once you set up a drip with your broker, it takes care of everything for you. You don't have to worry about manually reinvesting your dividends or timing your purchases. It's a streamlined process that helps you stay focused
on your long-term goals. In the end, I'll show you how this drip strategy can turn a small investment of $25 per week into over a half-million-dollar portfolio that pays over $5,000 per month.
But for that, you need to improve the drip strategy.
但要做到這點，你必須優化這套定期定額策略。

Now, here's how you can supercharge the drip investing strategy by contributing a set amount every week, month, or year. For this video, I'm investing $25 per week in my portfolio.
That's $100 per month or $1,200 per year. Let me break down how this investment can make a significant impact on my investment journey. Firstly, by increasing my contribution to $25 per week, I'm accelerating the pace at which I buy more shares. With more money going into my
portfolio regularly, I'll be able to purchase additional shares more frequently. This means I'll benefit from compounding at a faster rate as each new share I acquire starts generating dividend sooner. Adding more money every week helps you take better advantage of dollar cost averaging.
This means I spread out my purchases over time so I buy shares when prices are high and when they're low, reducing the impact of big price swings. Putting in $25 each week is simple and it fits into my budget without trouble. And with drip, I don't have to worry about
remembering to invest. It's done automatically. By using drip and adding money regularly, I'm setting myself up for more growth. My portfolio should keep getting bigger over time as I keep putting money in and reinvesting dividends.
Now, when it comes to building a successful drip strategy, choosing the right stocks is key. By selecting stocks that meet specific criteria, you can ensure the effectiveness of your drip investments and maximize long-term returns. For me, I look into these four categories
of stocks for my investment: blue chip dividend stocks, dividend aristocrats, high yield dividend stocks, and growth-oriented dividend stocks. In the end, I'll show you a selection of stocks using these criteria that utilize the drip strategy and have the potential to turn a small
investment of $25 per week into over a half a million dollar portfolio that pays over $5,000 per month. But first, let's see why these categories of stocks matter.
Blue chip dividend stocks are a popular choice for drip investors. These are reputable companies with a long history of consistent dividend payments, indicating financial stability and reliability.
Examples include household names like Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and Proctor & Gamble.

You need to start with blue chip dividend stocks for your portfolio. They provide a solid foundation for long-term growth because these companies have proven their ability to generate steady income and reward shareholders with dividends. Secondly, dividend aristocrats are another category of
stocks ideal for drip investing. These are companies that have increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years, showcasing a strong commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Stocks like AT&T, ExxonMobil and Walmart fall into this category. You need aristocrats to stabilize your investment strategy over a long period of time. Since these stocks have been increasing dividends for over 25 years, they're not likely to cut back anytime soon. These
companies have a proven track record of navigating various market conditions and delivering consistent returns to shareholders. Additionally, high yield dividend stocks offer another avenue for drip
attractive for income-focused investors. Examples include Realty Income Corporation, Abbie Inc., and Verizon Communications. While high yield dividend stocks may carry more risk compared to blue chip or dividend aristocrat stocks, they make up an important part of the

portfolio. Lastly, growth-oriented dividend stocks combine the benefits of capital appreciation and dividend income. These are companies with strong growth prospects and tend to keep increasing dividends to investments. Examples include technology giants like Microsoft, Apple,
and Visa. If you're selecting stocks using these criteria, it'll narrow down the list of available stocks, so make sure your stock ticks at least three of the above four boxes.
Based on the above criteria, I've selected the following five stocks to boost my portfolio.
基於以上標準，我選出了以下五種股票來提升我的投資組合。

It includes next-era energy, Starbucks, Abbott Laboratories, the Home Depot, and finally, to combine them all, ProShares S&P 500 dividend aristocrats ETF.
Separately, their current dividend yield, dividend growth, and share price appreciation look something like this. Next-era Energy Inc. has a current dividend yield of 2.76%, a dividend growth rate of 10.98%, and an annual share price appreciation of 11.98%.
Starbucks Corporation is at 3.01%, 16.69%, and 7.89%.
星巴克公司分別為3.01%、16.69%和7.89%。

Abbott Laboratories at 2.1%, 11.4%, and 10.31%.
雅培實驗室分別為2.1%、11.4%和10.31%。

The Home Depot is at 2.59%, 17.91%, and 16%, while ProShares S&P 500 dividend aristocrats ETF has a current dividend yield of 2.04%, a dividend growth rate of 20.48%, and an annual share price
appreciation of 8.17%. If we create a portfolio, our portfolio metrics might look something like this. You can calculate this by simply summing all the individual metrics than dividing by five.
Now the question is, can this portfolio return enough over time for you to retire? Let's find out. If John invests $25 every week into this portfolio, which amounts to $100 per month,
or $1,200 per year, in this scenario his investment strategy would unfold like this.

At the end of the first year, John's weekly contribution is projected to reach $2,560.

After 10 years, the same investment with weekly contributions and dividend reinvestment is projected to grow to $27,832. That's when the drip and weekly contribution starts compounding the effect. After 20 years, John's investment is estimated to reach $145,504. Fast forward
another 10 years, and in 30 years, John's initial investment has the potential to soar to evaluation of $823,352. Alongside this impressive capital appreciation, he'll also receive $63,395 in
dividends every year, translating to approximately $5,283 every month. In total, this portfolio has the potential to add $786,152 to his portfolio investment.
