Is there a limit to how much advice you can give?

Anyone I give advice to always tells me that my advice makes a difference to them in a good way. So because of this, I am thinking of starting my own website to give advice to other people that may need it (once I figure out how I am going to advertise it), but I need to know, as I hold no degree in anything such as councelling, psychology etc, is there a limit to how much advice I can give?





What advice can I or can't I give?





p.s. Does anyone know how I can market my idea?Is there a limit to how much advice you can give?
You will need a disclaimer stating that you hold no degrees and therefore any advice given is to be taken at the risk of the enquirer.Is there a limit to how much advice you can give?
As long as you state that you are not a formal psychologist nor a counsellor. You can write as if were suggesting ( Not direct advice) what they should do.
Yes, there is a limit to how much advice you can give, but you shouldn't limit yourself. It does not matter if you hold no degree in anything such as counselling and psychology, etc.. What matters is how the people you advise take them and apply them, and how it has improved their lives. There are pyschologists who are not good in it. More experienced people and those who have undergone so may problems and were able to overcome them, usually gives the best advice out of experience, and of course, the will to help others, not to go through the same mistakes or bad experience they had. It is real good to save people and help them. Go ahead with your idea!
As long as you ensure that it is clear to all who receive advice off of you that it is only your opinion and not through years of studying then I can't see a problem with it. However, be warned, you may get asked things that you really would rather not know about, let alone answer.
To give good advice i wouldnt say you needed a degree unless you were trying to advise someone on things you dont have any knowledge of.. e.g. if someone asks what medicine would be best to use in their condition (assuming you arent a doctor of medicine).


You should give advice on subjects that you know lots about.. so that it will be helpful to the person asking. Apart from that i cant see any other guidelines or restrictions although you should probably tell people that you arent a qualified councellor etc...

I don't think you have to have any qualifications at all. Unfortunately, the Internet is, I think at the moment 'a shark infested sea' with as yet minimal legal controls.


If you want to offer psychotherapy you would be able to get maybe a better client base and insurance if you had joined one of their professional organisations, but if you're selling a 'product' this isn't essential if you're prepared to take the risk/consequences.
I don't think you can give too much advice. If your really not that sure about your advice then tell the persons ';I'm not really sure about this one but maybe...';





Also make sure people know that your not a proffesional and have no training
no i wouldnt think so, as long as the people are coming to you and they are not being pressured into taking your advice then i really dont see how its a problem, as long as yuo dnt give somone advice your not really shore of yourself as this could be harmfull if your not shore what your saying
Its good that you have a natural ability and firm common sense, you also seem to want to help people which is great. Id imagine there must be a degree of responsibility maybe not in a legal way if you state you have no formal qualification but morally, you may come across some extremely difficult situations, problems which are difficult to advise on or even help in any way. It could be helpful if you have contact details of professional people so you are able to refer someone should they need more specialised help. At the least a basic course in counselling may be beneficial before embarking on something like this, you may find you really enjoy doing some formal training in this field and it would better equip you to identify serious concerns and problems that need a lot more help than a website can give and prepeare you for the information that you may come across. I hope it goes well for you.
Your are always limited by the other person ability to go with your advice. I am sure: if you can say your a psychic, you will be able to get away with everything. If you say your a psychologist you will be limited!!!
There is no limit to advice you can give just make sure that you give good sound advice. Make sure that you can be held accountable and liable for the advice that you give because it could come back on you if some thing goes wrong. Because you are advertising your business on line and you have no degrees in this area just be careful because there are people waiting to for lawsuits. I think that sometimes you dont need a degree God gives us talents and we are just good at it. But it would be safe to take a few classes to get certified. I dont have a degree so I use yahoo answers to get my point across and to help those who need help and advice. Just be careful and believe in yourself. You can do it. You sound like a good person who want to help. Read into it more and talk to a lawyer or someone who can help you because any time you advertise a business you are held liable same as if you take your car to the shop and they mess it up than they are liable. Good luck.
