Stressed Over The Holidays? You Can Get Help Online

New Web Site Provides Expert Advice, Help and Support

For many, the holidays are times of great joy. For others, they bring frustration (What gifts should I buy, How do I set up this computer?), family conflicts (How can I deal with my mother-in-law?) or wellness issues (How can I lose weight after the holidays?). To help people cope, one innovative new web site offers people the opportunity to share their problems and get advice, help and support directly from expert advisors.

SwapSmarts.com hosts nearly 1500 advisors, among which are life coaches, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychics and others with life experience or the training who can help with everything from selecting that special holiday gift, to setting up and using that video game system or DVD player, to dealing with the in-laws over the Christmas ham.

Typical sources for help have been friends and family, online message boards or high priced therapy. In some cases, friends and family are the source of the problems, and you may need to talk to an impartial observer. Message boards are great, but can you vouch for the quality of the advice? The $60 per hour and up fees of most professional therapists are out of the reach of many. Even phone advice services, such as Keen.com, can command upwards of $3.99 per minute, or $240 an hour.

People seeking help can post their questions online at SwapSmarts.com. For simple questions, experts can provide immediate answers. For more complex questions, experts can bid to answer the question. People can also ask experts to provide a quote to answer their question. Either way, unlike Google Answers, qualified advisors provide the answers. Questions may be answered for as little as 10 cents.

"People need help with life," says Chris Kalaboukis, CEO for SwapSmarts.com. We believe that our site provides a useful service to those in need of some expert advice, help and support"
