According to a Pew Research 2013 study, more than 60% of U.S. adults watch videos online and 36% of U.S. adults watch news videos. The increased consumption of information via video presents a Youtube marketing opportunity for professionals to engage clients and prospects online. Professionals can create Youtube videos (from interviews to animation), and they can curate and share Youtube videos with clients and prospects. In a previous post, we presented 30 web sites which professionals in financial planning can curate from. In this post, we present 15 Youtube video channels and playlists from which financial advisors can curate and share engaging video content with clients and prospects. For each channel, we pick and display an particular video clip (with its description) as an example of content on that channel or playlist.
