I have worked as a full-time paid professional agony aunt for over thirty years. During that time I have helped a lot of people, many of them famous, been written about in many newspapers and magazines and been asked to appear on radio and television. One of the most interesting jobs was being asked to write and record self help tapes for premium rate lines where people paid £1 a minute to ring up and listen to the tapes. The work is exciting, fun, but it is also a very responsible position because you are there to help people by creating a better life for them. They want you to solve their problems and help them make decisions and doing this is an enormous task. If they get the wrong information or advice this could cause them a lot of problems and heartache so it is very important that whoever they turn to for advice gets it right. I have been the President of The Association of Agony Aunts for a long time. You do not need to be qualified before you join but you do need to prove yourself. There are two ways to be a paid agony aunt. The method which is least popular is to set up your own business with at least one web site and then advertise. This costs a great deal of money, is very risky and if you have no qualifications and no previous experience of being paid for advice very few people will want to go to you for advice. They would probably prefer to go to a friend or one of the free forums where they can ask strangers for free. You would also have to keep spending on this site regularly, not just once when the site is made, to ensure it is seen on the worldwide web and not hidden away where nobody can find it. The other way is to prove yourself worthy of working for a proven, qualified, properly experienced full-time professional who hires you to work for them. Many of these top professionals cannot handle all of the work that comes their way and need juniors to help them. The celebrities who supposedly work as agony aunts for a magazine or newspapers do not truly read and reply to letters themselves, they have a team of capable people who do it all for them and they are just a front. But they will be fussy! They cannot take on incompetent people. Most of the people who go to an agony aunt for advice are young women wanting to know about their love lives so most agony aunts are young women who know about love and men. But they also need to know a lot about everything else too, work, money, family, health. A good way to get into this field of work if you are serious about it is to train up and become a member of The Association of Agony Aunts. It is then up to you if you become self employed or get a job. You also would need to decide if you will be working full-time or part time. If it is your own business you would need to think this through very carefully because if it became very busy you might need to work more hours than you really wanted to. Whereas if you work for someone else you would simply offer how many hours suit you. This work is ideal for anyone who is at home a lot with a computer and time to spare and who likes to write. It is also great for anyone who likes to help others and feels at east talking to them. You would also need to be a good listener. Most of the people who fail to become professionals fail because they do not listens properly to what the client tells them. They hear some bits and ignore the other bits! For example, if a client tells a professional that she is very depressed because she is not able to go out and meet people much and she has money problems and is worried about how to pay her bills. A bad professional might suggest she go on a wonderful holiday so that she gets cheered up. FORGETTING that if the woman is short of money and has problems paying her bills she cannot afford holidays and FORGETTING that if she has problems getting out she probably cannot go off on holiday either! Some agony aunts like to work just part time as a way to make some money others like to really go for it and end up like me, with famous clients, writing for newspapers and magazines and being asked to appear on the television. But those things do not come instantly, even if you are fantastic.
