JKBX (pronounced “Jukebox”) lets you invest in royalty shares tied to real revenue streams. This isn’t crypto or real estate—it’s the songs people stream, hum, and love every day.

You can potentially earn quarterly income as music royalties flow from platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok.

What’s unique? Music doesn’t crash. It just plays.

Option 2 - Building A Dividend Account

Building a dividend account can be a fantastic way to create a steady, passive income stream. However, it takes strategic planning, patience, and disciplined investing. For those wondering if it’s worth the time and capital, let’s explore what it takes to build a dividend account that generates $1,500 per month and how to select companies that will help meet this goal.

How Much Investment Is Needed to Earn $1,500 Monthly?

To determine the investment amount needed, let's calculate it based on an average dividend yield. The dividend yield is the percentage a company pays out in dividends relative to its share price.

For example, a stock priced at $100 with a dividend payout of $3 per year has a yield of 3%. We can use the dividend calculator, but to keep this time efficient I willl just give you the answers.

For the sake of our calculation, let’s assume an average portfolio yield of 4%. To get to $1,500 per month, or $18,000 annually, we can use the following formula:

So, to generate $1,500 a month at a 4% yield, you’d need an investment of around $450,000. This is a general estimate—yields can vary significantly among different stocks and sectors.

Seems like a lot? 🫠 

It's a lot of money to save, but even if you don't reach this goal, putting extra money here can be a good idea. Whether you have $400,000 or $70,000, your money can grow while you sleep.

Tips for Building a Dividend Portfolio

  1. Focus on Dividend Growth Stocks: Companies with a strong history of increasing dividends can boost your income over time without requiring additional investments.

  2. Diversify Across Sectors: Avoid putting all your funds in one industry to reduce risk.

  3. Choose Quality Over High Yields: Extremely high yields may indicate risk. Look for stable companies with manageable or $0 payout ratios (generally below 60-70% for non-REITs).

  4. Reinvest Dividends Initially: Use dividend reinvestment (DRIP) to buy more shares until you’re ready to start drawing income.

Final Thoughts

Building a dividend account to generate $1,500 per month requires an upfront investment or a disciplined approach with smaller, consistent contributions over time. Diversifying across stable, dividend-growing companies can create a resilient income stream. Remember to consider your risk tolerance and financial goals, as dividend investing—like all investment strategies—requires thoughtful planning and patience.
