You don’t always have to pay for expert advice. There are many places you can go to get advice for free. Here are just some of the best ways to seek out free advice.

Where To Go To Find Free Advice

Look for professional services that offer free consultations

When it comes to medical advice, mental health advice and financial advice involving welfare options, there are professional services out there that you can call for free. This includes charities and government hotlines. In other cases, you may be able to find private companies and individuals that offer a free ‘taster’ consultation. For instance, a personal trainer may offer a free first session. By shopping around, it’s possible to take advantage of these free sessions.
​

Get advice from websites, blogs and vlogs

There’s lots of free advice out there on the internet. If you’re looking for official advice on benefits, travel or taxes, there are official ‘.gov’ websites that you can visit. If you’re looking for medical advice, there are websites like Mayo Clinic and WebMD. If you’re looking for fun recipes, style and decor plus entertainment tips, there are lots of blogs where you can go for advice. If you’re looking for visual instruction on anything from baking a cake to playing guitar, check out Youtube for vlogs. Just make sure that when it comes to important advice, you’re seeking advice from a credible source - don’t believe everything you read on the internet. ​

Try looking into free e-books

There are lots of free e-books out there available to download. While many of these are fiction, there are some non-fiction free guides out there. These could offer in-depth advice on the topic that you’re after. Just make sure to look into the credibility of the author first by reading reviews and looking up their credentials. This post offers a list of great sites to download free e-books.

Use free apps

There are various apps that can offer free advice. This includes apps that offer free legal advice complete with live chat features and free first aid advice complete with instructions - useful to have if you find yourself in an emergency situation. There are also apps that can help you track your pregnancy, track your dieting or track your workouts, offering personalised advice based on data you record. Try looking into these apps to help you achieve your goals.

Use your close network

Sometimes you don’t have to talk to a stranger to get advice. Make sure to not neglect the advice of friends and family members. They may not always be the best person to go to when you need specialist advice such as medical advice or legal advice (unless your friend or family is a professional in that area). However, when it comes to advice on day-to-day personal stuff, the people who know you best and often the best people to ask. People who have gone through the same problems as you may even be able to recommend steps on where to go for help or what to do next - make sure to reach out to these people. ​
