Question

Im a counsellor who is looking at using email to open up new areas of service to to others what do you think?

Answer 1

I wouldn't use you as how do you really know who and what you are dealing with?

People can write anything they want on the computer, and be whoever they want to be.  That's like a physic doing it over the phone.

Answer 2

You'd have to build up a reputation, I would think. As another answerer said, no one can really know who you are or what your credentials are. However - advice is advice. If you give good advice, people will ask you for more.

I mean, look at Ann Landers. Thousands of people asked for her advice through the mail. In the beginning, no one knew who she was or what her abilities were. She made a successful career out of it.

It also depends on what other new areas of service you're looking to open up to people - and if you're looking to profit off of it or just help people. But you never know until you try, right?

Answer 3

Make sure you check the ethical guidelines for your state.
