🌟 Once again, we’re featured in FT Adviser 🌟 Our research at Almond Financial has uncovered a concerning trend: finfluencers on TikTok rarely encourage viewers to do their own financial research. In fact, almost 90% of TikToks offering financial advice are 'potentially misleading.' This highlights the importance of seeking professional guidance and conducting your own research before making financial decisions.

🤔 Can TikTok Be Your Go-To for Financial News? Forget dance crazes and cat videos – TikTok is also where some folks get their news fix. But for wealth management? Here's the scoop: 🚫 Watch Out for: Shaky Info: TikTok's all about user-generated stuff, and its algorithm loves spreading viral content. That's cool for laughs, but relying on shaky data is risky when it comes to financial decisions. Biased Views: TikTok has its own vibe, which means your feed might serve up some one-sided views. Investors could be swayed by flashy trends instead of solid facts, messing up their money moves. 💡 Bright Spots: New Market: TikTok's news binge might signal a hunger for money smarts. That's where wealth managers can step in, dishing out solid advice to a crowd hungry for it. Content Creators: Financial gurus, this is your time to shine! Get on TikTok, dish out some tips, and you could reel in a whole new audience keen to learn about smart money moves. So, is TikTok your next news hotspot for wealth management? It's a mixed bag. Sure, there are risks, but there's also potential. As the info game changes, wealth managers might also need to shake up their game. Ready to leap? 📈

Don’t take financial advice from TikTok…   Unless you can prove:   1. It’s legitimate & valid 2. There isn’t a hidden agenda 3. It’s appropriate for your situation & context   Everyone has an opinion on money.   Which is great…   Until it isn’t.   Many well-meaning creators can make a mistake. Or share incorrect information.   So instead of following the latest stock tip…   Remember the golden rules before following advice:   💛 If you’re not sure, seek qualified advice from a professional 💛 Wait 24-48 hours before making a big financial commitment 💛 Fact check, fact check, fact check   Make sure your money gets to work doing the right things.

The Dreamer’s Advantage Dreaming isn't just for the creative types. In personal finance, being a dreamer can give you a strategic advantage. "Some men see things as they are, and say, Why? I dream of things that never were, and say, Why not?" When you dream of financial possibilities, you start seeing opportunities that others miss. 🌟 What financial dreams have you been hesitant to pursue? Dreaming big can lead to bold financial moves that pay off in the long run. #WhyNot #FinancialDreams #StrategicAdvantage -------------------- Hi I’m Andrew ☆ Founder of The Investors Way ⇰ I help you take control of your money and add 7 figures to your net worth using my 3 pillar PTS Method framework so you can achieve your financial freedom.

I Searched "Financial Advice" On Reddit, This is What I Found: Reddit is becoming a better and better place for finding customer needs, and I was curious what the phrase "financial advice" would tell me about user's concerns and questions. It taught me a lot! General Advice: Cost of living questions, podcast and finance book recommendations, etc. Had the largest percentage of responses, followed by financial planning, and questions about Financial Advisors. If that pattern holds true for the wider reddit user base, it reveals a shocking truth: Current internet users are eager to learn more about financial topics that are currently affecting their lives. What shocked me most was the large number of people interested in a financial advisor. Despite the rising wave of fintech companies offering new solutions for financial learning, it seems that advisors are still relevant! What are you thoughts on reddit as a research tool? #Reddit #finance #financialadvice #financialplanning #dataanalytics

🚨 Wake-Up Call 🚨 You’ve been fed a lie, and it’s time to spit it out. The "sacrifice everything for success" mantra? Total garbage. We've been brainwashed to believe that the only way to financial success is through 60-hour weeks, skipped family dinners, and burnout. Society has convinced us that if we’re not sacrificing our health, our happiness, and our loved ones, we’re not really "winning." Here’s the plot twist: That’s not success—it’s self-sabotage dressed up as hustle. Sustainable wealth isn’t about selling your soul to the grind. It’s about working smarter, not harder, and refusing to trade what matters most for a pay check. If you’re sacrificing your life for money, you’re doing it wrong. It’s time to wake up and take back control. You can have both success and fulfillment—but only if you stop playing the game by someone else’s rules. -------------------- Hi I’m Andrew ☆ Founder of The Investors Way ⇰ I help you take control of your money and add 7 figures to your net worth using my 3 pillar PTS Method framework so you can achieve your financial freedom.

I'm always learning about personal finance, and as a YouTube fan, I've been closely following the recent events surrounding YouTube's crackdown on unregulated #finance content. ICYMI, this isn't just a minor adjustment - it's a pivotal moment that will reshape how we access financial information online. During the pandemic, countless individuals turned to finance creators, or "Finfluencers," for insights as the stock market surged. These voices made financial knowledge more accessible than ever before. But now, with YouTube removing #content from over 15,000 unregulated finance entities, many are left wondering: Where do we turn for trustworthy advice? This situation raises some crucial questions: - Who can we trust for reliable financial guidance? - How do we navigate this new landscape where valuable voices are being silenced? Now more than ever, we need access to credible and regulated financial information. As these changes unfold, I believe it's crucial for the creator #community to come together and address this challenge. Let's engage with reputable sources and advocate for responsible financial content. As we adapt to this new reality, let's lift up those creators who prioritise honesty, clarity, and #education in their messaging. We can create a space where informed discussions thrive and everyone feels empowered to take charge of their financial journey by rejecting financial advice that is uninformed and biased. I'd love to hear your thoughts below.    How can we support each other in finding reliable financial advice in this evolving landscape? Share your insights and let's build a community that champions education over sensationalism. 💰
