Google…
Google….. Google…. Daily this word makes me angry. I don’t know why but in
reality this is the truth. I hate Google J . Google launches this, Google does
this, Google Starts this Bla bla bla. So many products are already present in
internet market but still they are launching new products. Google has made us
all dependent on itself. Gmail. Google Drive, Android, Blogger, Search, Google
Maps etc. Now a days every single person is dependent on Google and its
products. The reason I hate Google is because I am not a part of Google, while
being very happy because the thinking, creativity and caring of Google.
Now
Google came up with its new product called Google Helpouts. As the name defines,
‘Helpouts’, anyone can predict what is the use of this new Google Product. Helpouts
means to help someone in need. The sole purpose behind Google Helpouts is to
provide help to the needy person.
What make
Google Helpouts different from others?
Let’s
take a round of YouTube learning videos, as a blogger I daily search stuff
related to Blogging Social Media and SEO like tricks, tips and matt cuts
videos. I am not saying that YouTube videos are not useful but here we are
going to compare videos with real time Google Helpouts. In videos we just learn
and see the video with limitations, suppose if you have a doubt while watching the
video, what can you do? What you generally do is - put a comment and wait for
reply.

On
the other hand, Google Helpouts provides us a real time environment. We can
discuss all our doubts with the professionals and the authors, just like we do
in Skype, which is a live video chat. I think you will also like the idea of Google
of Just searching your area of doubt and starting Helpouts. I know you are
thinking that “Can I also provide my services or help to others?” Yes, you can but
for this, you shall have to apply.

How much
money will they charge me on cancellation?
If
you cancel fixed charge helpout then you have to pay 50% of session price.
On
the other hand, if you are using a per minute helpout, you will be charged 5
times of per minute rate. For example, if you join a helpout with 3$ per minute
and you cancel the helpout then you will have to pay 3$x5=15$ for cancellation.
In
the end I would like to say, enjoy the helpouts and try to resolve your
problems. If I am wrong at any point please let me know. You are most welcome to
share your knowledge by commenting.
