I've already learned a lot from Honest Holly. Had an email from her a few months ago about how to set up my own agony aunt thing, helped a lot.   Have already got two regular clients by following her advice. Am posting on here now so peeps can see I good at this and then will be on directory as Ann Smith. You can hire me there then.

I chose Honest Holly when I wanted advice months ago. She delivered it well, very helpful, would not hesitate to return to her. Only thing I would add is this... don't bother to ask if you think you know it all.  Someone I know consulted Holly, then told me that she knew Holly was wrong. The truth was she did not want to hear what needed to be done, which was dumping her rubbish boyfriend.

Wish I had hired an online agony aunt before I married my wife years ago. She was cold towards me and aloof, but all I saw was how pretty and beautiful she was and ignored the rest. Someone who was honest and wise would have been a big help and could have helped me save a bundle of money that I lost to her. She now has the house I worked hard for, she never put a cent into it, she even has my dog, a dog I adored with her, I cannot see dog again (we had no children).  She is a crafty and selfish woman and had me fooled but there were red flags which I pushed under the carpet.  One of them was when she would insist I do a job I hate, totally hate, and did not care that I would be doing something I loathe and detest all day every day.  Only a selfish person does that. The way she saw it was that it paid more than the other job - but the other job was the one I was going to enjoy. Because I let her bully me into taking the better paid job instead I dreaded monday mornings and longed for fridays.

Think a lot of the people who come here hoping to become a paid online agony aunt are scammers. They have no ability at making good decisions or solving problems at all, many of them cannot get a job, or they have a badly paid ordinary menial job, and they see becoming a paid agony aunt as a solution to their own problems.  What they fail to see is that a wise person who is wise enough to get paid for their advice would not be in a menial badly paid job or unemployed, they would be doing far better than that.

I am now working as one of the online agony aunts through this site, but I already have a very good job at a very good salary, I am not just trying to get money that I would have no chance of getting otherwise. Not a scammer. I reply for free to some on here, with a short response.  So far I have had quite a few paying clients I helped in private and some have become regulars, but really it is better if you learn to make your own decisions instead of constantly consulting and paying people.
