In the past, I've shown how you can make a marketing video by projecting a slide show on a big-screen TV positioned behind you. You can use Apple TV to control the slides wirelessly.
 
This time around, take a look at how you can use a big screen TV as a background for videos.
 
 

 
For advisors interested in using video to communicate with clients and prospects, this technique is really simple and effective. You need a video camera or web cam and a big screen TV monitor that is hooked up to your computer. In addition, you’ll need a professional lighting kit.
 
I recently purchased a Samsung UN60ES7100 60-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Slim LED HDTV. This TV is not inexpensive.  It's 3D and 240Hz, but you can find large-screen TVs that are less expensive and that will get the job done. (I’m using this TV as a computer monitor, and did not want to compromise on quality.)
 
Since most advisors get most of their clients from their local area, take a look at how you can use the big-screen TV to feature local landmarks in your videos. In the video I put together quickly today to demonstrate the idea, you’ll see pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and New York Stock Exchange projected behind me.
 
If you’re going to do this, you’ll need to find high-resolution pictures of your local landmarks. Photos that are 1920 by 1080 will look great. Wallpaper for computers meet the specifications, but if you do a search of Google images for “free high-resolution photos” appended by your city’s name, you should find some good candidates. For example, a search of “free high resolution photos Denver skyline” turns up these results.
 
There are others ways to insert photos and videos in the background of your videos. Using a green screen is most common, but it's more a lot more work.
 
Whether you post your videos publicly or privately to communicate individually with clients, using a big screen TV in the background is a simple way to make your videos more interesting visually.
 
Please let me know what you think of this idea.

A Strategically Focused CE Curriculum

With classes approved for over a decade by the CFP Board, IWI, and NASBA, Advisors4Advisors CE classes are an optimal knowledge stream for CFP®, CIMA®, CPA, CPA/PFS®, CFA®, and other practitioners. It's not a grab bag of speakers willing to sponsor CE content. Nor is it a one-man CE course. It's a group of subject matter experts with amazing communication skills and a history of thought leadership that, together, give advisors a well-rounded knowledge system for running a professional practice ethically and intelligently.

CE Since October 2008

A4A CE classes for financial professionals began in October 2008, the week Lehman Bros. collapsed. Initially billed as “The Financial Crisis Webinar Series,” A4A connects advisors with authoritative sources on investing, tax, and financial planning, chosen by A4A Editor Andrew Gluck, a veteran financial reporter. A4A members get a stream of CE classes for an advisor who: 

  • holds a CFP®, CIMA®, CPA, CPA/PFS, CFA or other designation requiring CE annually 
  • values monthly CE classes by Fritz Meyer, Craig Israelsen, Bob Keebler, Frank Murtha, or Andrew Gluck
  • diversifies a core of client portfolios in low-expense funds
  • invests based on MPT and economic fundamentals
  • advises on tax and financial planning as well as investing
  • needs financial counseling skills
  • wants the Certified Financial Counselor™ designation 
  • is building a brand as a thought leader locally or in a niche
  • wants the facts when bad news breaks
  • wants CE aligned with a content marketing system
  • wants 24/7 access to CE on-demand
  • insists on objective evidenced-based tax and investment planning analysis

It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig, Bob and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation
Lynn Najman, CFP®
I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Bob, Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer and Robert Keebler to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess.  A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available.  
Ron Roge, MS, CFP®
I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A.

John R. Day, CPA/PFS®

I’ve been a member since 2011 and never miss the monthly webinars with Fritz Meyer. I appreciate Fritz’s independent views on the economy and markets and Bob Keebler keeps me updated on excellent tax planning ideas. A4A is a great value!

I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.®   

Dan Hawley, CFP® 

A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice.

I get CPA CE credit and CFP credit for the webinars.  But not only that, the A4A content is terrific
