Dividends. Insane Growth Rates. Personal Records. Community. These aren’t just words and phrases, they are some of the common words and phrases we use to describe the dividend income summaries for so many of you in the community each month! It is now time for one of our FAVORITE posts to write each month. For those of you that are new followers. Each month we summarize as many stories and dividend income summaries as we can because we love seeing the progress that everyone is making. It is infectious and it drives us to keep pushing forward and GO FOR IT. Now, it is time to check out our August dividend income summary from YOU the bloggers!
Dividends are Coming – 50.97 Euro – Pretty solid companies that paid you, and quite diverse in terms of industry. Further, 5 dividend increases in a month is awesome! Keep the dividends “coming”, leave the door open for them!
Pollies Dividend – 231.99 Euro – WHOA! Nice job Pollies, killing it here with an impressive 13% growth. Solid companies to boot as well!
Dividend Portfolio – $21.95 – Six companies paying you dividends is awesome, just straight killing it here, wow. You’ve got this DP, keep it up and keep it going.
Dividend Quest – $915.52 – Uhm… WOW. Almost $1K in August?! Absurd. Nice job Quest and I believe your journey on this quest is surely pretty far along. Thanks for sharing the impressive figs!
Young Dividend – $526.49 – Crushing over $500 in August is very impressive and have to love sharing a massive dividend from AT&T with you, quite the reinvestment!
Passive Income Dude – $162.95 – This was a solid month of dividend income for you PiD, but for others that have an interest in reading his article, your passive income in total was impressive with your rental income. Nice job!
Dividend Gremlin – $239.61 – Gremlin, congratulations on your house, baby and taking on more responsibilities! You are keeping the focus though and posted strong dividend figures, as well as an amazing growth rate. No matter what life throws at you, you have the ability to take it head on.
Dividend Lord – $171.43 – Coming out strong with an almost 24% growth rate is what I like to see. Plus, we share quite a few names in AT&T (T), CVS and Procter (PG). Keep it up!
Dividend Vet – $220.29 – Another 20%+ growth rate here, you guys are all killing it. I now feel like my 13% growth rate was behind, come on! With that being said, you have two massive payers in AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). I hope that Verizon shakes off the rust and becomes focused on their goals. Keep grinding Vet!
Div Hut – $658.22 – DH, I don’t know what to say, but smacking this one out of the park! Love the breakdown between accounts and the individual growth rates, as always. A 15.5% increase is something to be very proud of, very nice job!
American Dividend Dream – $382.75 – Almost $400, and you are WELL on your way, especially with the way Omega (OHI) continues to grow their dividend, as well as your DRIP. Keep living the AD Dream!
Captain Dividend – $372.58 – Very strong month again for you. Interest read on Bitconnect and hope that works out very well for you! Also – exposure on AT&T and Verizon are creeping up there, but the yield is so darn good!
DivGro – $923.00 – This month pushes DivGro over the $10,000 mark for dividends received during 2017. And boom, the income is only going to grow now that your position in Cisco is 500 shares!
Two Investing – $448.00 – A great month catapulted by two strong dividend payouts from AT&T and Apple. That is how you post a 60% year over year growth rate. Very nice job!289
Passive Canadian Income – $186.42 – 13 companies paid PCI this last month and led to a great performance here in August. PCI is already crushing his goals, which means we cannot wait and see just how far PCI can push it during the last four months of August.
All About The Dividends – $289.40 – A different blogger, same story. Great dividend growth rate, making great progress towards knocking out their goals…you get it. Matthew crushed it in August and is heading into September with a full head of steam!
DesiDividend – $202.04 – With college football season on the horizon, DesiDividend posted a strong month. The charge was led by the investment in Apple and CAT, which accounted for half of Desi’s total for August.
Dividend Daze – $79.77 – Daze posted great results in August and pulled off one of our favorite moves. Daze was able to purchase a stock AND receive the dividend payment in the same month. That’s how you add fuel to your growth rate!
Diligent Dividend – $112.04 – The growth of Diligent’s portfolio over the last two years has just been insane and it is not a shock that Diligent’s dividend growth rate has been just as ridiculous. Love seeing charts like the one in your article!
Investment Hunting – $563.70 – In a close competition, it looks like AT&T was able to edge out OHI as IH’s top dividend payer by a slim $.20 margin ($135.24 to $135.04). Regardless, those are some impressive figures from to great companies!
Divnomics – 37.60 Euros – Regardless of whether or not August was a slow month, you have to be happy with a 44% increase in your annual dividends. Keep it up Divnomics!
Screaming Little Man – $2,251.70 – This is just incredible. Over $2,000 in an “off” dividend month. Congrats SLM and those are amazing, inspiring results right there.
Tawcan – $1,278.98 – Another strong month for Tawcan – should we expect anything different haha Bolstered by some strong payouts AND dividend increases from various Canadian banks, he continues to push ahead and take no prisoners!
Race2Retirement – $1,806.14 – Just when we thought the high $ dividend receivers were over, you come swinging with almost $2K. Insane. Very nice Omega Healthcare (OHI) dividend and I hope HCP also brings their dividend back to normal life in 2018 with an increase, which would bode well for you. Congratulations on a stellar month!
Team CF – ~360 Euro – Nice job over there, you are already almost ahead of your 2016 YTD total dividend income as well. Appreciate and impressed by the hard work you have going on over there. Keep it up!
Investing Pursuits – $309.94 – Investing Pursuits had a very strong August, despite the slight decrease from 3 months ago. IP also happened to own the one Canadian Bank that did not increase their dividend this month, which is a bummer. But BMO’s turn will be coming up soon enough!
Dividend Reaper – $37.79 – Truly a unique presentation of dividend income on Reaper’s website. This was the only video update and we love it!
Dividends and Hobbies – $320.56 – A year over year increase of 280%! You said you have been on a buying spree recently and holy smokes those purchases are starting to pay off! Excellent job.
Dividend Solutions – $216.52 – AT&T was the heavy hitter in DS’s portfolio this month, like so many other bloggers on this listing. Congrats on the 42% year over year increase!
Catfish Wizard – $399.71 – Very strong investment income figures for Catfish. Plus, the five purchases that you made in August are going to make a HUGE difference in the fourth quarter. Keep it up!
Dividend Income Stocks – $224.79 – A strong month for DIS saw their portoflio soar past $45k. Now, onto blowing past $50k and posting strong dividend increases along the way! Keep it up.
Passive Income Mavericks – $1,058.23 – An insane amount of dividend income in an “off month.” Maverick is also knocking on the doorstep of an annual goal…and it is only August. Looking forward to seeing you CRUSH that goal next month.
Dividend Seedling – $11.82 – Think about this. Seedling’s August 2016 total was $1.63. So think about that growth rate. You said it best in your article, “Life is good.” Keep planting those seedlings!
The Dividend Pig – $464.21 – Pig received dividend income from 23 companies, which is impressive for a slower month. Congrats on the incredible 150% increase compared to last year.
Wallet Squirrel – $20.94 – Dividends represent a small amount of the comprehensive income/side hustle report for Wallet Squirrel. We love the diversification of income each month.
Stockles – $154.32 – 13 great companies paid Stockles a very nice dividend in August. The strongest sector, the healthcare REIT, provided Stockles with a nice jolt during the month!
TOTAL: 36 Bloggers earned approximately $15,846 in dividend income during the month (depending on the conversion rate at the time of calculation)
Now that is a TON of income. Over $15k in total during August. Amazing job everyone and now you have us energized as heck. Hopefully all of you reading this have found these results as inspiring and motivating as we have. It is time to keep side hustling and scraping every dollar we can together so we can propel ourselves to financial freedom. All of us need to keep on pushing and keep on doing whatever we can to post growth rates like the ones listed in this article. So let’s all continue motivating each other and pushing ourselves to be the best people and investors we can be. Now that August is over, it is time for the third quarter of the month and the crazy dividend payouts that will ensue. We CANNOT WAIT to see what all of you are capable of in September! LETS GO!
-Lanny and Bert, the Dividend Diplomats
Congrats to everyone on and off the list!. Thanks DD for consolidating posts across the dividend blogger spectrum. Looking forward to September.
Agreed. A round of applause is well deserved for each of the bloggers in the list and all of those that we were not able to include. September is going to be a GREAT month and we cannot wait to start the next article 🙂
Bert
One of my favourite posts each month, thank you for your time and efforts for making this overview!
Mr. Robot,
Glad you enjoy reading the post as much as we enjoy putting it together! Appreciate you stopping by and your comments.
Bert
Congrats everyone. Lanny and Bert thank you for including me I appreciate it.
Of course Matthew! Great job CRUSHING it in August.
Bert
This is my first post on your blog, but it will become my favorite for sure! ???? Congrats and can’t wait for next month!
All the best!
Thank you very much Carolyn. Hopefully there will be many more posts to come. Glad you decided to post on our blog!
Bert
That’s a nice range of numbers there – some people just starting off and others nearing the end of their race towards FIRE. It’s good to see everyone continuing to grow and can’t wait to see what September has to offer for everyone!
TITM,
You hit on one of my favorite parts of the article. We love seeing and reading about each person’s journey, whether they are at the beginning of their dividend investing career or on the doorstep of financial freedom. Each new dividend, each growth rate serves as amazing motivation and helps me push myself towards the end game. September, with all of the mutual funds, should be one heck of a month to follow.
Take care,
Bert
This list keeps getting longer every month. Thank you for the inclusion. Not sure if this is new, but I like the part about the number of bloggers and how much we all collected. Can show growth as a community as a whole moving forward same as individually. Feel free to take that idea as long as you keep me on every report haha. Thanks for sharing the list. Great job everyone. Can’t wait to see the numbers for this month!
Dividend Daze,
We were happy to include you. Thanks for the kind words. I’ll be honest with you, the kudos goes to Lanny for the first addition of the summary. I agree with you, I love seeing the totals and what we were able to accomplish as a community.
I like the idea and it is definitely something to consider going forward. Don’t worry, we will make sure to include you regardless of whether or not we can pull together the right data for the statistic!
Bert
Dudes,
Thanks for the list. September should be pretty grand – income wise, and October should be just a life awakening though!
– Gremlin
Gremlin,
Glad we are able to put it together. Kudos to all of you for crushing it this month and providing us with all of these great summaries! It sounds like you are going to have a GREAT October and I cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
Bert
Lanny and Bert –
This is always such an inspiring post and I’m grateful y’all take the time to consolidate everyone’s figures every month. Keep up the good work everyone!
– Brian
Brian,
Thank you very much! We are glad you enjoy reading the summaries as much as we enjoy putting them together. I agree, everyone needs to keep on doing a great job and continue to replicate this success!
Bert
Thanks again guys! Love to read these… such great results for all. And September hasn’t even come yet!
Cheers
Tall Investing
Tall Investing,
Of course! We agree – Everyone did a great job in August and we should be in for a fun ride here in September!
Bert
This list just keeps on growing. And amazing that we all collected over 15.000 dollar (and some euros) in dividend this past month!
btw: noticed there was no link added to Catfish Wizard.
Divnomics!
Isn’t it crazy that we all receive $15k+ as a collective unit? It is crazy to think that we all passively earned that much money.
Thanks for letting us know about Catfish’s link. We should be good to go now. Cheers
Bert
Woot I was waiting for this post! Great work everyone. Over 15k as a community is pretty impressive. Thx Lanny + Bert for compiling it all!
PCI,
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. We had a lot of summaries to go through haha Impressive is an understatement, that’s for sure. The best part is that this was an “off” month. Cannot WAIT to see the collective amount we are going to receive as a community in September. Thanks for the comment!
Bert
Hey Lanny and Bert,
i can only repeat myself: thanks for all the inspiring work you put into this list. Congrats to everyone out there in the DGI Community. Keep pushing the last quarter of 2017!!
I definitely have to go back into a saving mode after my short trip to NewYork City. Although i managed to spend about 140 $ less than my budget, flying over to NYC from Germany is not cheap. But worth every cent.
If you have the time you can check out my relating blog post:

Cheers
DividendSolutions
Dividend Solutions,
Thank you very much. That’s kind of you to say. I’m excited to stop by and read about your trip to NYC. There is nothing wrong with dropping your savings rate to take a trip that you have always wanted to. Hopefully you were able to use the capital to generate some lifelong memories!
Bert
Lots of good blogs there with a boatload of money coming in 15,000 wow. Good job everyone.
Doug,
There area ton of great blogs out there, couldn’t agree more. Just think. That is only $15k for ONE MONTH. Think about the amount we as a community will receive in September and December, the heavy dividend and mutual fund distribution months.
Take care,
Bert
I hit #334.21 for August and track this monthly, how can I get added to your list? thanks for providing this.
Very nice month! We will do our best to add you in the next month. Congrats on the great results!
Bert
I HIT $1,089.86 FOR SEPTEMBER
Great “work” everybody! We all just need to keep slaving away…cashing those dividend checks.
Thanks for the shout out, guys. I’m proud to be a part of this post.
love the quotations around “work” and the irony. This is truly passive income and we didn’t lift a finger to earn it. Let’s keep pushing and keep on working our way towards FIRE by doing everything we can to increase this passive income cash flow stream and watch the number continue to grow from $15k.
Take care!
Bert
Wow some great achievements all round from the community. Congrats and keep up the great work
R2R
R2R,
Thanks for stopping by! The community just crushed during the month and September should be another exciting chapter.
Bert
Thank you for the mention gents! Rock on everyone!
Team CF –
Of course and let’s keep the music going!!
-Lanny
Seems like we just get better and better, right?!
Impressive month everyone! and thanks again for pulling this together guys. Awesome!
Exactly! Each month we continue to surpass our previous month’s record. Man it is sweet seeing what everyone is capable of and all the great things they are doing. Can’t wait till September!
Bert
Wow! That’s great to see. Too bad I didn’t get my report out because I’d have pushed it over $16k. Considering how strong of a month September is I would be expect $20k easily if not well above that for the month.
JC –
Damn! Could have used yours, no doubt man! But I know you are getting back into the swing of it all. September is going to be scary, the sheer amount of divvies we are all going to post is going to be hilarious. Thanks for stopping by and checking it all out!!
-Lanny
Awesome report as always. These posts are great because I can get a glimpse at what the community is doing all on a single page. Actually, what i like to do is visit each blogger’s page one-by-one and check it out. It’s a great way to meet other bloggers and learn about all the good stuff they are blogging about. So, this is definitely one of my favorite posts of the month.
DP –
Appreciate the stop by to check out the list. Exactly, great way to share stories, journeys, websites and the like. Also – great to see the large a** numbers being posted too! Can’t wait to compile September’s!
-Lanny
Really enjoy the roundup you two put together every month. Awesome progress from everyone, which is great to see!
ED –
Glad you are loving it. List is solid and hoping it continues to grow each and every month. We wish we can grab all articles that are out there, as well, sometimes it’s hard, but striving to be better each month! September should be quite the story.
-Lanny

This monthly post is my motivation. Thanks for putting it together.
DS

Pumped that you are using this as motivation, as it is ours as well. We are moving in the right direction.

Awesome dividends from some awesome names. Its so great seeing the progress of other bloggers. It just serves as even more inspiration.
Diligent –
Inspiration, motivation, you name it, this is what this post serves. I wish we can all have thousands coming in every month and… who knows… maybe one day this post will show case that.
-Lanny
Nice list of dividend investors. Hopefully someday I will be in that list with my site and I have over 1000 euros of monthly dividends.
Regards,
Matt
Matt –
Of course, we will keep you in mind next time. Keep investing sir!

R2R –
Anything that fuels our ability to save and investing, we will keep doing, right?! Let’s keep marching forward in this race.
