Giving advice...
Hey.
My frieds have always said to me that i am great at giving advice, and i agree, i think i am pritty good. So for the past 4months i have been searching the for a website where i can have my own advice column. I fond Advicenators and DearCupid. They are both great, but i just want a site where people will only ask me for advice. I have a freewebs thing and didnt work out as i had hoped because no one had emailed me with any of their problems and no one looked at my site.
I have answered lots and lots and lots of questions on advinators but still no one as a question (like, just for me to answer). I would quite like myself to be a columnist and have my own website where people can just ask me for advice and it to be an advice column.
Please help.
Any advice will do.
Thanks :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
ask your teachers if you can start an anoymous advice column at school see if that works.

Hi.
I know exactly what you mean and I had also at one time started up an advice site/forums where people could ask for advice but truth be told these sites do take a lot of time to really take on as well as a lot of dedication and work.
For starters if you are seriously looking into doing this then first and foremost I would suggest not going with any free webservers. These look cheap and quite unprofessional and would make a person think twice about asking for help (when compared to somewhere like here which has a very professional look). Also, you will need a domain name you can use which will reflect what your site is about. Once those initial bits are out of the way you can work on putting the site together and then letting as many people know about it as you can (search engines, ads, word of mouth, msn, etc).
You must however bare in mind that you may even come across a few questions you are just unable to answer (which is where this site comes in very handy because with so many advisors thereis bound to be someone here who can assist). Then there is also the volume of the responses you recieve. You may find all of a sudden you are swamped with questions which could be a problem (another thing that is avoided on a site such as this).
I hope you manage to get your own site up and running but there is a lot of things you will need to consider and keep in mind (including bandwidth costs) which can be the biggest killer on the pocket. I hope I've been able to give you a small starting point but if you need any further details of help just give me a shout. And good luck. :)

there are some sites, such as freewebs and such alike, where you can pay money to "go premium" where you get you're own site name. This costs money, but then you could get sponsors onto your site and pay all that money off and possibly make a profit! everybody wins. Then, to get you're column going, you could just advertise it in the localpaper.
