Do you think I should do a (non professional) advice podcast?

[VIVANT]

I don’t really use social media so I have no platform, no following, I’d essentially be starting as a complete no one and it likely wouldn’t take off a bit- but I think it’d be fun to try. I love answering questions bc it really gives me insight into how people relate connect and deal with the world around them.

I naturally spend much of the day reflecting on matters, on matters , I love acting & the practice of into others situations as if it were my own & people seem appreciate my perspective out in the world, so I don't know considering it. & If it DID get done traction, well, wouldn’t that be awesome 😅

I am sure there’s some logistical problem where you can’t just give advice or everyone probably would do it but I don't know if you qualify it “ for fun” there must be a space. Otherwise I have to get a phd in psych first I guess 😂

Yes go for it

I work at a “learning recovery center” for people with PTSD. I’m used to facilitating discussions in trauma, & sometimes after a good session, I think, shame not reach a wider audience esp considering so many don’t have access to any kind of in person support, but yeah doing anything online is a completely different beast. And yesterday it seemed like a great idea, then this morning, I started thinking of what actually would go into it esp technical equipment & trolling 😂 now ehhh I don't know

OK so talking to a friend, she reminded me I do not have to start off with videos at all. I can do podcast- which automatically diminishes about 96% of my concerns which were mostly the possibility of stalking- cuz I’ve heard horror stories. So, I am once again seriously considering doing it. As well, I just realized of course if I do I can invite you all😃

tho no pressure😉

Thinking of a title tho. I had one but it was more fitting for video, not audio 🧐

Ideas welcome 🤗

You seem to “talk” effectively in this forum’s dialogue sections, and you certainly post quality questions.

I don’t know much about podcasts and hosts either, but for one, they usually seem calm or respectful to whomever they engage with and you have that, most definitely!

Good questions keep the ‘flow’ of conversations too, and you do that quite well. They’re Interesting and seem thought provoking or fun.

You don’t need a PhD in Psychology, but it couldn’t hurt! I think if a person has good common sense, and is observant enough to pick up on other’s social cues, or the meaning behind what they say, you’d be great. Not everyone does podcasts because they can’t commit and they don’t know how to keep it “lively” with a steady flow, and meanwhile, for others it just comes so naturally.

I think Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Ellen Degeneres are great show hosts and they seem to have one thing in common that just happens naturally- they make others feel comfortable with little effort, and it’s always a fun time. Kimmel can be a bit harsher but everyone can see he doesn’t attack anybody he just kind of roasts everybody at some points 😂 He’ll even roast himself and the roasts aren’t severely serious! LoL

I really think you could pull this off! You have the confidence

you consider it like any good question.

What’s not to love about having your very own podcast? 😊

[VIVANT]

Thank you Rosie 🙏🏼 very effective points and I agree about the hosts who have a way about them. It really does make all the difference, it amazes me how I can get drawn into content I don’t necessarily care about bc of the style of the host!!

look at you with your 64% MHO score 😛♥️♥️

[RosieMelts]

Awe thanks Vivant 😁 a true ray of sunshine and I totally relate!

Wlc, If I could be any source of help to you and others, it’s a guarantee smile on my face
: )

🤗 🤗🤗🎉♥️

[Changiis07]

You should totally do it and don't be so negative about it. Even if you don't blow up it can def benefit others. So believe in yourself and if it's something you enjoy then go for it. Great things take time

[RosieMelts]

Awesome point. About the even if it didn’t go viral. Super positive and true

[VIVANT]

Thanks!! 🙏🏼 😇

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Go for it give it a try you will never know untill you try..

But remember the problem with placing ourselves in there stories makes you suffer and you will be borrowing there problems onto you.

It would feel nice and sense of helping at first but then again it will drag you down.

Your perceptions will keep changing once you start involving based on there experiences
Somewhere you will start believing oh if such thing has happened to this person of this reason then it could happen to me.

You will try to find the cause of reason in your own life.


I think pshychitrist have some kind of mechanism to overcome such problems or they themselves will go for thearpy 😆.

I know you can detach easily yet you will pick on things as well.

But are you ready to take on other problems while you have other tasks at hand.

Think about these points evaluvate and jump into it.

I do believe you can do anything and the above stated points are just minor inconvenience haha go for it

[VIVANT]

@Aakash_Hangargi But remember the problem with placing ourselves in there stories makes you suffer and you will be borrowing there problems onto you.

😂 I do this all day ANYHOW. No matter what I’m doing people always tell me their troubles. Unless I lock myself in a room and don’t see anyone but turn Bella tells me HER problems 😂

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I know lol and it has so impact then you need to clear your head of their views

[ZackBan]

You can absolutely do that.
YouTube (and others) are full of non experts giving opinions and and advice and insights

Some are corny and cringy, others major scammers.
But a few are very decent and actually help people I myself listen to a select few.

And you don't even need to show your face although it would be easier to gain fame that way, still many people use pseudonyms and avatar pictures and have decent sized platforms and followings.

If this is something you're into and have time to do I would definitely encourage you to.

[VIVANT]

Thank you ☺️

[NathanDavis]

I am not sure on this one...

particularly because of one issue with the nature of podcasts...

many will be there to troll and hate and bring negativity, while others will be too positive, meaning they can get clingy and a bit obsessed about it

if you wanted to keep consistent about this, then you will have to be willing with the many ordeals that all this situation will bring

regardless of your intentions and all the good and great you could be... you are still going to make of yourself the very center of attention to a lot of strangers online, and that... is not always the nicest experience lol

[Philyouup]

Do it Ms Viv. the worst that would happen is it doesn’t take off. But you can say “ i did it, I tried to do something with a dream! And if you fail? Great! You will learn something about yourself !!! To do and fail is better than not actin on anything and regret it! You are a lovely person to talk to, I think you’d have fun and the very least.


Embrace failure, revel in success !!!

[Philyouup]

Viv-ola like the old victrola

[Philyouup]

that’s audio based

[VIVANT]

thanks!! 😅

[dustybiker]

Who says you can’t? Look at the type of people who have become president of the US. Proves absolutely anyone can do anything.

[VIVANT]

😂 fair point 😇

[dustybiker]

@VIVANT 😁

[humanearth]

If you want to, do everything your heart craves.

No matter what stands in your way

Go for it vivant...

But no one value free advice Specially online.. and online is very crowded. If you're looking for making money from than it's too late. Online business era over. It was good in pandemic because lockdown n force people to do online business. Now everything is opening up. Actually I have contrary view I'm betting big on collapse of online businesses globally.

[KostasKouvalis]

OMG yessssssssssssssssssssss!!! I would love that! YouTube would probably be your best bet. You can still post the audio without showing your face, if you don't feel comfortable. You could start by having some friends/family members on, and then maybe some people from the GAG community, and if you start to gain popularity, you can have other people on. I'd love to be on it

[Jessica405]

Go for it. No reason why not. Just having the thought about it means it is somethingyou can do.

I have been thinking about blogging. Letting people into my life a bit more than on GAG. Also started a public account on Flickr for photos.

[RosieMelts]

That sounds exciting 😊😄😄

[EnglishEuropean]

Sure, but make sure you include a disclaimer that it's "not professional advice" and "for entertainment purposes only".

Just so you don't get sued.

[ChiTown33]

It's up to you. You could always give the disclaimer that you're NOT a trained professional.

[OddBeMe]

Do it. Just invest in a good mic. Dont need to spend a lot. At least $50

[Jouth]

you need to get a job at the mall

all the girls your age are working

you need to get a proper job, hannah

[VIVANT]

I’ve been working since I was 9 gfy

[Jouth]

only fans doesn't count moron

[msc545]

Don't unless you have some special qualifications and a LOT of insurance.

[VIVANT]

I think you can just do a podcast and have question/ answer sessions with audience without qualification as long as I’m stressing clearly I’m not a professional 😊😊

And I think it’s going to be more discussion than “ advice” per se

[msc545]

All it takes is one bad outcome and someone will sue you. You need insurance.

[EnglishEuropean]

Unless you're charging for advice it's probably protected free speech. Like this.

[msc545]

@EnglishEuropean If you hold yourself out as an expert and people rely on that and there is a bad outcome its on you.

[EnglishEuropean]

"If you hold yourself out as an expert..." That is key. Don't do that.

[msc545]

@EnglishEuropean Just by calling yourself a "coach" you do that.

[EnglishEuropean]

Yes definitely don't call yourself that.

[msc545]

@EnglishEuropean By giving advice and presumably charging for it you arguably establish yourself as an expert. Get some good legal advice for all of this. I am NOT an attorney.

[EnglishEuropean]

No one said anything about charging.

[msc545]

@EnglishEuropean talk to an attorney.

[bannacookies]

Do it! And let me know when/if you do! :D

[VIVANT]

Will do banana 🍌!!

[Guardian45]

If that's you're life ambition, then get certified and crack on!

[Guardian45]

Maybe you could do a TEDX talk

[RealMarek]

It wouldn’t hurt to try, would it?

[Jamie05rhs]

Sure; why not? :)

[Jamie05rhs]

Re: Update: Hmm. I can't really think of a name because I don't really know what I'm naming. It would be like Adam trying to name the animals without being allowed to look at them first.
In other words, the concept is too vague at this point for me to really be able to describe it.

[VIVANT]

Fair fair point 😊😊

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks :)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes go for it
