My Passive Income Journal

Income Investing on YouTube

Well, you are all probably sick of my dry articles and want something to watch. So in this post I’ll share some people who specifically talk about income investing on YouTube.

Income Investing Youtubers

So here is a very short list of people that I enjoy listening to about income investing on YouTube.

It’s a short list, because mostly its all lies and false information on so many YouTube channels, but these 4 YouTubers have skin in the game and I personally think they are worth listening to.

So here are the 4 YouTubers and a quick write-up about each.

1. GenExDividendInvestor

GenExDividendInvestor runs his YouTube channel discussing dividend investing as his main topic.

Here is what he has to say in his own words about his YouTube channel:-

Retired in my 40s via dividends.

Sharing my 30-year investing insights on YouTube & on the world’s largest free Dividend Discord: https://discord.gg/kkSr5FY

My channel is for EVERYONE interested in dividend growth investing, passive income & creating generational wealth!

My hope is that I can educate, inspire, and entertain you as I share my thoughts, experiences, and perspectives from decades of buy-and-hold investing.

2. Nathan Winklepleck CFA

Nathan is another YouTuber that puts his money where his mouth is. Nathan runs his YouTube channel under his own name and speak a lot about dividend investing and more widely about investing. He is calm, rational data-drive and no nonsense.

Nathan has also written a book on dividends, and the link to this is in his YouTube profile

This is what Nathan has to say about his channel:

3. Steve Selengut

I do not think Steve Selengut has a dedicated YouTube channel, however you’ll find a lot of good contend of Steve’s on Youtube.

This is what Steve has to say about himself in his own words off his website:-

I’m Steve Selengut–and that shot on the left is of me on a recent trip to Ireland. These days, I spend more of my time traveling the world with my wonderful wife, Sandie. Egypt and South Africa were our two latest adventures. We’re also able to live near the Kiawah golf resort near Charleston, SC.

How do we afford this lifestyle? Well, building retirement income has been the focus of my whole career. I spent over 50 years as a private investment portfolio manager, including 44 years managing up to 300 different client portfolios at a time. I sold my investment management business in 2023 with over $100 million under management.

Throughout my career, I created high-income portfolios for my clients and myself using a little-known but powerful income vehicle: the Closed End Fund,  hunndreds of them!  As a result, our  portfolios grew in both income production and working capital every quarter, every year.

I’m not funding my retirement lifestyle by slowly selling off 4% of my market value each year. Instead, my portfolio generates plenty of cash for us to live on, leaving all the working capital (principal) intact.

Seeing so many retirees scraping by–or worse, having to slowly liquidate a lifetime’s worth of investments to cover basic expenses, drives me crazy. I wrote Retirement Money Secrets to help more investors understand how the markets really work, and to take advantage of their constant volatility.

4. Adrian from Passive Income Investing

Adrian is a regular YouTube content creator with a particular niche speaking about covered call ETFs and funds as well as high dividend yield funds and holdings. A very interesting YouTube channel. Adrian also put his money where his mouth is and shares his and his wife’s personal portfolio of passive income holdings

Here is Adrian in his own words explaining his YouTube channel:-

Income Investing on YouTube

None of these YouTubers proclaim to have all the answers, but like me, they understand income investing and passive income generation and they love to share what they know.

No, I do not get any kickbacks from mentioning or posting about these YouTubers here – not a cent.

I’ve listened to countless hours of rubbish on YouTube in search of genuine insights and info on income investing on YouTube. These four … I genuinely enjoy their content and thought it would be good to share it with you.

Cheers
