I just invest into a high dividend yield ETF biweekly (symbol SPHD, if anyone's curious). It's been a bit rough since everything crashed in March but it's slowly working its way back up. And my monthly dividend earnings have been going up about $7 every month as my shares increase (I also DRIP invest so that any dividend earnings just go right back into buying more shares). As was pointed out, compound interest is your friend - invest early when able!
