Congrats on getting started! That's big step, so feel good about it. I don't own any ETF's in this portfolio, only single stocks. I'll repost what I told someone else below here ::
My stocks are very boring for the most part and the reasoning behind owning many of them are pretty simple.
KO - I bought it in 2012 - my first true dividend pick. I chose it because of the steady, consistent, reliable growing dividend and I LOVE Coke Zero. I got in around the mid-30’s and have reinvested every single dividend since then. The last time I added to this position was December of 2016.
In 2013 I bought MO and PM. Mainly because they pay hefty growing dividends and sell a very addictive product. I’m also a former smoker and wanted to get all my money back from these guys.
I bought JNJ in 2015 because I wanted exposure to the largest healthcare/pharmacy company on the planet at the time. They have a long successful history of growing dividends along with a AAA balance sheet.
In 2017 I bought PEP because they are more than just drinks, they have the snacks side as well. Again, another company with long history of paying dividends.
In 2018 I bought ABBV because of the potential share growth coupled with a high dividend growth rate. This was the same reason I bought MSFT in 2018. I also wanted to add some tech exposure to my portfolio. I recently added more to MSFT this year.
In 2019 I bought VZ when it was trading higher than it is now, I did add in subsequence years bringing my cost basis down. I’m actually not a fan of VZ of have sold calls against my position to enhance my returns and hopefully sell out of the position altogether at some point in the next 12-18 months.
2020 I got AFL at a great deal in the mid-30’s. It has a fantastic dividend history with a very low payout ratio. It’s my best performer as I’m up nearly 300%.
This year I bought AMZN under $200 in an attempt to add more tech exposure to my holdings. I also bought ADP in the low $200’s as well. ADP has a great business and I believe it’ll survive the software scare that has hammered many stocks. 
That’s it. I own 11 stocks. Over the years I have bought and sold some, not a lot - names like UNP, TGT, UPS, SO, etc. Usually capturing 10-30% returns in those. But for the most part I buy, hold and reinvest dividends and add to my positions on significant dips.

If the payout holds reasonably steady they seem preferable with that income vs say my 4+% yeild with like $TGT . As semi retired I've been putting more attention into not depleating my investment & more income from dividends lately. I'll have to crunch numbers on something like $QQQI vs conventional dividends & 4% drawdown.

People are anticipating that they will follow what TGT and WMT posted last week. That whole sector is depressed.

How do we feel about $TGT? Seems like the recent collab with Pokemon is a winner. I know one collab doesn't make or break it but lines were out the door. Resellers galore. More drops coming in June. I have some shares and thinking of adding a bunch more for a nice reversal.
