Google launches video tutorial service for DIYers in 8 categories.
Google launched a video chat service Tuesday that promises to connect users with experts in eight different categories: art and music; computers and electronics; cooking; education and careers; fashion and beauty; fitness and nutrition; health; and home and garden.
Helpouts virtual tutors can help with just about any DIY task from preparing a resume to removing a computer virus and applying makeup for a professional look.
The fees are set by each Google-approved expert, with Google taking a 20% cut for most of the video tutorials except on the topics of health advice. Experts can charge a flat-fee per session or by the minute. If the advice is unsatisfactory, Google is promising to refund the money.
