Therefore, pour yourself that fresh brewed coffee and get ready to enjoy the Dividend Income from YOU the bloggers – March 2021 style!

My Dividend Dynasty – $1,372.12 – An 11% increase from prior year and another 4 digit month for MDD!  You receive a nice check from International Business Machines (IBM) and you just received a small 0.60% dividend increase.  Hopefully bigger dividend increases are in the future for IBM!  Congrats again MDD.

The Dividend Pig – $3,338.03 – WAM!  WOW!  Over $3,000 in income from the Pig!  Not only that, but a well over 20%+ increase from prior year.  If you keep that rate up, you’ll be at $4k next year.  I love that Pfizer (PFE) dividend you have going, especially since they announced HUGE news they are keeping their dividend!  Nice work DP!

A Frugal Family’s Journey – $262.13 – There we go, over $250 is huge.  I see you have two oil bigs in Chevron (CVX) and Exxon (XOM).  Oil has been on the up and up.  Keep it going!

Passive Canadian Income – $720.39 – There we go.  Also some dividend growth to go with it!  That Lockheed Martin (LMT) dividend is sure making a nice impact for you already.

Money Maaster – $603.15 – There we go, getting closer to $1k.  Keep breaking records and collecting those divvies!

Dividend Seedling – $85.95 – Love the big dividend aristocrats on your list.  Such as Realty Income (O), Pepsi (PEP), Archer Daniels (ADM) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), to name a few.  Almost to $100, keep pushing!

Dividend Portfolio – $63.35 – 14 dividend stocks paying you is absolutely NO joke, at all.  WOW!  Congratulations.  You’re re-building and like they always say – the come back is stronger than the set-back.

Dividend Quest – $646.93 – Keep it moving.  What a wild March.  Let’s make it happen.  You’re on a dividend quest to financial freedom and we have enjoyed being here for the ride!

Engineering Dividends – $1,535.59 – WHOA!  Record month indeed.  You are CRUSHING it!  16% growth from prior year is key.  Keep that growth rate up, pumped to see where you will go!

Simple Dividend Growth – $4,238.43 – WHOA!  Another $4k+ month from one of the bloggers out here.  Love that you took your raise and increased your savings rate, instead of spending rate, by the way. HUGE Dividend you receive from United Parcel Services (UPS), might I add.  That has to be a huge position to earn over $200 per quarter from them!  Inspiring!

Dividends Down Under – $174.92 – Even though you had sold a few investments for the housing deposit, the decrease wasn’t as large as I was expecting.  You’ll be back over $200 next year, no doubt!

Stalflare – 60 (Euro) – I hope Italy gets better and that the vaccines are distributed quicker.  I love the country and that is where my (Lanny) family is from.  Keep going Stalflare, keep going.

Dividend Dream – 243 (Euro) – Okay, not bad and you had dividend growth from last year.  Yes, we all have benefited from the big dividend increases from Aflac (AFL) and T. Rowe (TROW), you have to love dividend growth.  Just more reasons why Dividend Growth is BACK BABY!

Dividend Hawk – $2,467.80 – Just straight crushing it.  Setting limits that dividend investors would die for.  You are well on your way to your $18,000 goal, NO DOUBT.

Reverse the Crush – $87.47 – Hey, it’s bigger than last year!  Congrats on setting records, as that is what it’s about.  Cheers to June, where I think you’ll set another record!

Time in the Market – $2,597.50 – Wam!  Crushing over $2k, I love it.  Also, a HUGE increase from 2020, at well over 20%.  I am with you – dividend growth appears strong right now.  Let’s keep it moving!

Project 2035 – $79 – You are overcoming the dividend cuts of 2020.  Thankfully, some are bringing them back slowly or even reinstating them back to pre-pandemic levels.  Weather the storm, the dividends will be there after!

Divcome – $771.89 – I see you have Reynolds (REYN), which is a great up and coming, consumer-based dividend stock.  Also, I am jealous of your Broadcom (AVGO) stock.  Keep cranking in that dividend income!

Kody’s Dividends – $165.45 – I know you compare to your December 2020 income results, but as you saw, so many items play into that comparison.  When you compare to your March 2020 dividend income, you crushed it.  Focus on the positives here Kody, you’re killing it.

Dividend Growth Journey – $686.58 – That Visa (V) dividend income check – I know it seems small, but it grows at a fast rate.  There is plenty of room to still grow their dividend and the world continues to run on plastic/card transactions – though I know Bitcoin, Venmo and Zelle are becoming VERY popular right now.  We’ll see where it goes!

My Road to Wealth & Freedom – $720.46 – HUGE results.  Dividend investing pays off over time, like you have said.  Dividend investing is creating a snowball, with time and consistency, the dividend snowball continues to grow and becomes FASTER.

Dividend Earner – $1,982 – Almost $2k, nice job!  Your portfolio is huge and yet, the yield is a calm 2%.  Like you said, you could easily double your portfolio yield, to increase your income.  I know you will accomplish this, come financial freedom time.  Stay focused out there!

My Dividend Snowball – $1,661.87 –  There were a lot of moving parts for this dividend income report. MDS made some portfolio moves, as many companies that paid in 2020 did not pay this year, while there were plenty of new companies paying you a dividend! The crasiest was that $850+ dividend payment from Enbridge. That is a lot of dividend income!

Dividend Cultivator – $1,591.45 –  Unbelievable month for Cultivator. Your covered call fund really came through for you. However, you also reeived some huge individual dividend payments as well!

Desidividend – $1,506 – Love how you broke this down in your article. This was the equivalent of receiving $48 in dividends per day.  It is always a treat to see your dividend income broken down in different ways to help visualize F.I.R.E.

Chickenwizard – $1,640.04 – Chickenwizard coming through in the clutch with a NEW PERSONAL RECORD! That 10% year over year increase was made possible by your hard work and dedication to investing and growing your passive income. Heck yeah. Keep up the great work!

Another Loonie – $49 – Still a nice chunk of change for Loonie. The ETFs can giveth and the ETFs can taketh. This month, with no payments, they definitely left your portfolio stinging. Hopefully they change this in June.

Dividend Machine – $21.64 – Three fantastic dividend growth stocks paid you a dividend in March. Pfizer, Microsoft, and Realty Income are three of the best. As we all know, the two of us are all about covering Pfizer as an undervalued dividend stock to buy!

Dividends and Divergences – $35.68 – Darn straight 2021 is moving in the right direction. Your dividend income continues to grow, as evidenced by your $2+ increase. Its all about getting that snowball rolling downhill.

Dividends and Hobbies – $1,253.43 –  Boom. A nearly 25% year over year increase for Hobbies. We share some great names on the list, and it was great to see you receive over $#0 from Kroger last month!

Little Dividends – $8.54 – There we go, EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS when you are saving and investing for financial freedom.  We are both living proof of that.  Those dividends will keep growing.  Excited to see your blog and portfolio sky rocket up!

The Money Sprout – $583.66 – BOOM!  Another double digit growth from prior year, killing it.  Also, love that you have a nice hard goal of $20,000 in projected dividend income.  You are well on your way.  Pumped that you own Lockheed Martin (LMT), even though they are trading at close to $380 per share, they still show signs of undervaluation and have loved owning them for 10+ years!

BAMF Money – $2,899.22 – Another monster month, WOW!  Also, love that you have those large goals – $40K by 2023, LET’S GO!  Those are financial freedom numbers.  Truly a definition of why Dividend Investing can be the best form of passive income!

Financially Free in 10 Years – 161.36 (Euro) – A solid total, to say the least.  In addition, one of your biggest payers is Unilever (UL), which is on our list of 3 undervalued stocks that pays over 3.5%+!

Root of Good – $5,923 – A dividend income total that few can match. Root of Good’s ETFs really delivered in March. You’ll easily crush $6k in June from reinvestment along, let alone the impact of dividend increases.

Dividends From Scratch – $520.45 – Geeez. Another blogger that set a personal record. Dividends from Scratch crushed it by crossing the $500 mark. Your quarterly income total almost crossed $1k from the first time as well. Great things are happening here.

Divgro – $4,459 – An absolutely insane month for Divgro. The best part is that the dvidend income is very balanced. No one company, or fund, paid you the majority of your income in March.

Mooi Dividends – 117.02 (Euros) –  This income summary has flash backs to my childhood. I remember too many times turning on Madden and hearing “E.A. Sports….its in the game.” Even though it was your smallest payout, it was the first thing that jumped out to me!

Reinis Fischer – $91.06 – “Quite okay” isn’t the right way to phrase your results. You earned nearly $100 without lifting a finger. Building passive income is AWESOME Reinis!

Stefan Redlich – $467 – Your analysis was spot on. 10% YOY dividend growth is great considering the dividend cuts you received from Shell, BP, and Wells Fargo. Their dividends haven’t bounced back to pre-pandemic levels, so it is great seeing your income still grow llike crazy!

Our Life Financial – $1,835.22 – Your article title asks a simple question, about loving Canadian Banks too much. Its a great question; however, if there is one sector that is worth loving, it is the Big 6. They are some strong, sound banks that pay fantastic dividends.

  1. Thanks guys for sharing my March dividend income guys ! 😃👍 Proud to be part of this dividend community investors WorldWide 🌍💰🙏 Yes, I need to save more 🐿️ + invest more 📈 for sure ! Keep up the good work ! 😁🙌

  2. Crazy awesome numbers this month. Seems like there are more and more 4 digit entries and more bringing in multiple thousands. The community is building a pretty deep bench.

    I did notice that you accidentally posted my February numbers again. It is the bigger number of the two so it does fit a little better with everybody’s quarter end numbers, but it is off. The good news is that the $20 difference really doesn’t change things too drastically as far as the total or average brought in this month.

    In any event, the fact that the blog is featured is still appreciated and the post continues to be a great read.

    • D&D –

      Thanks for pointing that out, shoot! I agree, $20 is not that material and will feel like pennies to you in no time!

      This post has been years in the making. It’s a way to showcase each and every platform out there. We are looking into doing it differently, maybe even showcasing images or thumbnails of everyone’s sites. So awesome.

      -Lanny

  3. Absolutely amazing progress by all!
    BTW in regards to the UPS mention. I bought all of that early in 2017 from $102 to $105/share so I have 4 years of div growth/reinvestment and since the price has doubled this year it skyrocketed to my #2 holding.

  4. It only gets better and better and better! Thanks for including me! This article always means I will click on most of these links and check out the progress in more detail. My screen time will go through the roof this week.

    We will soon see this over $100K on a monthly basis. Amazing!
    take care,
    John

  5. Great month with lots of great bloggers. Thanks for including me again. Just for fun I went back to September to see how much the community had made since September the number is unbelievable $460,000 in dividends since then. That rocks.

  6. Congrats to the community on handily passing $80k in dividend income during March! A few more quarters and we’ll definitely pass $100k as a community. Thanks for including me in your monthly compilation as usual.

  7. Wow, what an amazing month for the dividend bloggers. Thanks for including me in with this amazing community. I agree about setting new records. June is looking like it’s going to be an all-time month for my portfolio. Thanks for taking the time to put this post together.

  8. This is what the true power of financial independence blogs look like! I get like a $1,000 dividend per quarter but it’s in my retirement account and don’t really know how to check when I get it.

    Maybe I should find out and start posting the numbers!

  9. “E.A. Sports….its in the game.” Cool to see we have exactly the same childhood association with this brand. Although for me it’s from playing Fifa and not Madden. In March I got the first dividend ever from EA so it’s the first time in my life EA is paying money to me instead of me paying to them.

    Thanks for listing me!

  10. $24.17 – 7 stocks, adding more weekly/monthly. If any y’all have self-directed 401k, check each fund, many only pay yearly, but can be a boatload if you’re all in a few of them.

  11. What a list. Fun to see so many dividend blogs. Dividend investing is also popular in Sweden with a lot of blogs popping up. There we call it “utdelningar”
