Get Free Google Home and $2400 Google cloud credits!!
No. It’s not click bait.
Above mentioned perks are valid under Google Assistant developer community program and are valid till the program shuts down.
To get this you will have to think of an idea that you can push on Google Action.
What is Google Actions?
It is Building Actions to help users get things done with the Google Assistant. It’s like teaching Google assistant a new skill.
How to Build a Google Action?
Please follow the lab here. To connect your Google action with Publicly available API you can checkout my other blog.
At the start if your action reach 100 (approx.) Monthly view you will get a mail from Google like this..
Yes you read it right..
You will get a Google t-shirt and they will send you 200$ every month for a full year.
It was easy till this part, right?
But now, getting the Google Home would be bit challenging. But if your idea is good you can do it.
To get the Google home, your action should get more than 6000(approx.) Monthly users and should sustain there for 2–3 days and voilà. You will get a email like this from Google
So as mentioned earlier you can get the Google home for free.. but its not that easy.
And finally after a wait of 5 weeks I got the Google Home!! 😊
My story:
I wrote a very basic Google action “cricket score” (Try saying “Ok Google, Talk to cricket score”), and as the name suggests it gives you live score of a cricket match. (such a basic thing, right?). Now something interesting that i did was.. i launched it just before The World Cup 2019. Because of which the app just took off like crazy from the moment it launched.
The app was getting more that 500 views for India’s match and about 200 for other matches throughout the World Cup Competition.
Moral: You need a good idea and perfect timing to execute the idea.
