advice
I LOVE giving advice and I know you have to crawl before you can walk but I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get picked up by either a few magazines, newspapers or radio shows in order to do advice. I have a Masters in Clinical Psychology and have vast experieince in counseling and giving advice. I also have a book in the works and is being critiqued as we speak. I had a manager and we were putting together a demo wth a known radio d.j. but he got "other" ideas and wanted me to show him how much I really wanted to do the radio show and long story short, we parted weays. I have pictures (I am a former model) and I would LOVE to post them here on my site but they are too large to upload. ANY leads would be helpful.
Thanks!
TRUE ADVICE DIVA.
Hey,
first of all I have read some of your advice on here and I think you're really, really good, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting someone to accept you once you've found a place to apply to! I advise using this place as a kind of resume, a reference, to show just how good you are!
If I was you, I would contact all the newspapers and magazines I could. They may already have advice people, but if they don't, they could hire you. If they DO have advice columnists already, they may want another, perhaps for cover work, perhaps for a different section of advice (i.e. medical, friendship, love life etc); their columnist could be leaving soon; or they may have connections or people they could refer you to for help. Teen magazines would probably be a good start, but go for big, well-respected, informative ones, not ones that are simply about 'hot guys' if you want some respect.
Oh, and I also know of a radio show called Late Night Love in England. A man hosts it and he basically spends the night playing love songs and giving people who ring in advice. If you apply to radio shows, you could suggest something like this. They even have a dating service and make a ton of money out of it.
Best of luck!!!
(Rating: 5) Your advice was very thorough, honest and you took time to answer. I thank you so much for yoru advice. I looked into the radio aspect and was close to doing one until my ex-manager wanted more than just my radio work. Thanks again!!!
