Advisors are using videos to communicate through blogs, social networks and email newsletters. Your YouTube channel can be embedded in websites, boosting your online search ranking by giving your firm a higher profile. "Advisors can create content," Gluck says. "It's not easy to do but it will boost your search rankings and engage more people with your message. I've done this for many years myself to market my company."
 
Gluck, who said he has spent more than 500 hours creating videos for clients and his own company, said a license to Camtasia Studio video editing software costs about $400 and suggests annually renewing for software updates, while a great video editing computer (desktop or laptop) with a four year service plan costs about $4,000. In the webinar, Gluck takes you through the basic steps in creating an online video presentation using Camtasia Studio.
 
 
 
Less Is More. You're not making Gone With The Wind. Many of the dozens of videos Gluck has added to his YouTube channel are less than a minute long, while others may be as long as three minutes. (If you want to devote more time to a particular subject, create a series of short videos and link them in a playlist, he suggested in the webinar.)
 
Recording Yourself Narrating A PowerPoint. How to use PowerPoint to create video presentations.
 
Selfies For Advisors. You can shoot a selfie-video introducing a series of slides illustrating why sticking to a long-term financial plan is best. 
 
Editing Videos. The most time-consuming part of the process, Gluck said, is post-production editing to remove stutters, "uhs," and remove long gaps between words while also inserting visual cues that make often-dense financial ideas easy to consume. Camtasia Studio is a simple video editing software app Gluck has used for about a decade. It is simpler than Adobe Premier and Final Cut Pro but not as powerful. For what an advisor needs, Camtasia is a good solution because it is specifically created to make videos based on capturing what's on your screen and your cursor's movements fairly easy. Gluck, on the webinar shows the first steps involved in assembling a video from a range of digital assets -- videos, pictures, and audio files. From screen recording to importing audio and basics on using a timeline, this webinar takes independent advisors step-by-step through the video creation and editing process.
 
 
 
Editing Videos In Camtasia Studio
Gluck shows you how to import screen recordings, set them up on a video timeline, and separate video from audio tracks so that you can edit them separately. 
  • You are shown how to add several special Camtasia Studio effects to a timeline, including how to:
  • zoom and pan
  • adding visual cues such as arrows and text boxes
  • adding “sketch motion” effects such as a rectangle slowly drawn around an important
  • transition from scene to scene using fade-ins, rotations and other effects

Even if you decide to hire someone to produce videos for you, this webinar is valuable because it helps you understand what the creative person will be doing. Click here to get started on the road to high-impact video production.

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, 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 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 Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

Fredric Mayerson, MBA, PhD, CFP®
I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer 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 keeps me updated on excellent  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.
