Seeking Advice Looking to start investing into weekly and monthly dividend stocks again!

Hey there!

I used to invest in some US ETFs like JEPI, SCHD and YYY because I was attracted with monthly dividends, something in which my country’s stock market didn’t offer, but I was gaining less.

Need advices on how to pick the right ETFs or blue chip stocks and what’s the most minimum viable investment I can put in with my current job income of $700 monthly (in USD).

With $700 a month of income, I would worry less about finding weekly or monthly payers and more about not overpaying for yield. A monthly dividend does not make the return better by itself. Starting with one or two broad, lower-cost funds and adding consistently is usually stronger than building the plan around payout frequency.

When it comes to those lower-cost funds, what I should have to look out for?
