Are you a beauty expert wanting to make some extra cash or a salon operator keen to grow your business? Then Google’s new video help service, Helpouts, might be for you.  Helpouts is a new way to connect people to people who can give advice over live video, anytime, anywhere.

Helpouts was developed so that no matter who you are, where you are or what time it is, gives you the opportunity to talk with an expert and get help using live video. For example, if you are a beautician on the lookout for making more money you can use Helpouts to connect with people around the world using live video to show them how to use a curling iron, or which eyeshadow shades complement their skin colour.

The service makes it easy for individuals and entrepreneurs to grow their business by setting their own rates and getting paid online.  Users can work to their own schedule, at home or on-the-go.

It integrates video calls, billing, messaging, calendar scheduling and more to make it easy to connect with customers.

Helpouts is not available yet but Google is inviting people with expertise across a number of areas to sign up to offer Helpouts when it goes live.  Those interested in providing help can submit their contact information and if they are a good fit will be contacted and invited to apply.
