Look into a couple of direct purchase no cost stock companies with long records. You may want to start off with a boring util. like Southern company(SO) that has a no cost direct and drip stock plan. They have paided a dividend every year since 1955 and are in a business that people can not do without! I have them now on a bank deposit for my dividends and a bank debit at the same time that buys more shares every month so my dividend is more the next quarter or you can buy when you want to anytime. They pay a dividend on 3-6-9-12 months and if that is what you are looking for then for your next one research and find a stock that pays on say 2-5-8-11. Lot of ways you can do it, but try to do it the cheapest way as you will find the direct stock plans that charge fees stock dividends spend the same at Walmart as SO dividends does!

Hope this helps.
