Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, can be a powerful and smart way to pursue above-average income opportunities in the market. The short story is that ETFs provide instant diversification, thus lowering the risk of holding a single high-yield stock that may turn out to be a ticking time bomb later on down the road.

Our Foolish team of dividend experts, though, think that the iShares Core High Dividend (NYSEMKT:HDV), the Vanguard REIT ETF (NYSEMKT:VNQ), and the SPDR S&P International Dividend ETF (NYSEMKT:DWX) could all boost your portfolio's earnings power to the next level. Here's why.
