Don’t Chase the Highest Dividend
Do Understand the Company You’re Investing In
Do Study a Company’s Cash Flow Statement

That’s where investing in high-quality stocks that provide dividends come in. There are two ways you can make money on a stock: capital appreciation and dividend yield. Capital appreciation is the increase in the share price and the dividend yield is what the company elects to pay out annually. For example, if a company’s share price increased five percent in 2015 and paid an annual dividend of five percent, the annualized return would be 10%. Adding high-quality dividend stocks to your retirement portfolio is the best way to ensure consistent growth.

I have learnt my share of lessons by making mistakes in dividend investing, I found a good article describing the tips on how to invest in dividend stocks.
