    You could try sending your advice to your local newspaper. If you can get published, then you can start to develop some credibility and a following.

    I would not recommend trying to give relationship advice without having the proper work and/or college experience simply because without the necessary education and work experience, your advice is not likely to be as effective as if you were to have, at least, a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Sociology, or Social Work.

    I would highly suggest that you first obtain, at the minimal level, a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, then pursue a doctorate in counseling or clinical psychology simply because having the necessary work experience and educational credentials is necessary, if you're going to be helping people with their problems and give them excellent advice.

    Clinical, and counseling psychologists as well as psychiatrists have the necessary credentials and experience that is necessary, in order, to give advice.

    Without these, then you are rather ill-prepared; despite your conventional wisdom to help people with their relationship problems.

    I hope this helps! However, should a newspaper decide to create an advice column with your name and advice in it, then that is wonderful news!

    I would suggest that you write to the editor of different newspapers explaining to them why you would like an advice column to be offered in his or her newspaper. You might even offer to offer advice for free in the newspaper column and if you garner enough interest, then you might be able to get paid for your advice column work.

    I would suggest offering hypothetical examples to the editor.

    For instance, your letter might look like this as follows:

    Dear Editor:

    My name is Jane/John Doe and I am interested in offering advice to people from all walks of life, who are having relationship problems.

    I thoroughly enjoy helping people with their problems and I firmly believe that creating an advice column in your "fill-in-the-blank" newspaper will not only help several people with their relatinship problems, but also increase readership for your newspaper(s).

    For your perusal, I have enclosed a few samples of hypothetical relationship problems and how I would answer each problem (I have provided 1 sample for you to use as an example, and simply provide maybe 3-5, that should be plenty):

    (1) "Dear Mr./Ms. Doe:

    I am having problems with my girl/boyfriend. She/he says that I talk too much and that I don't listen enough.

    --Signed Distressed in New York

    Mr./Mrs. Doe's response:

    Dear "Distressed in New York:"

    You may find that when you talk less and listen more, that your girl/boyfriend will be more receptive towards you. The key is to learn to listen more and talk less. This can be done by practicing to listen to how your girl/boyfriend's day went. Practice being quiet for 5 minutes, while she/he talks to you about their day. You'll find that if you do this on a daily basis, that you'll start becoming more attentive and less talkative.

    Try that and see how it works for you!

    Good luck and best wishes!

    Signed,

    Ms/Mr. Jane/John Doe"

    If you could please let me know at your earliest possible convenience whether or not this is feasible, then I would greatly appreciate it!

    Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest possible convenience.

    Respectfully submitted,

    Jane/John Doe
    1234 Ocean Ave.
    Anywhere, USA

    Good luck with your advice column career and I hope you do great work!
