What is the Genie and how does it work

The Genie is an Application (App for short) that you install on your computer that helps you save time and money when you are searching and shopping on the internet for products.

You install it straight from a distributors My Shopping Genie web site and the best part about it is…..its 100% FREE with NO STRINGS. It DOES NOT ask for or store any of your personal details, so it’s safe as well.

The Genie will work on any major search engine like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc….it will work on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and runs on a Windows Platform, but for this example I’ll use Internet Explorer and Google.

The more specific you are with your Google search, the better results you will get from Google, and the Genie works 100% from those results. If you just put in iPod it will show too many results, so iPod Nano 16gb will give a better result, but you even be more specific than that…..i’m just going to say iPod for this example.

How does it work

Open Internet Explorer and do a Google search for an item you are looking to buy……say an iPod….click search and you will get your list of web sites as normal, but this time the Genie will appear as a bar across the bottom of your screen and it’s about 1 inch (25mm) deep. There are a few buttons on there but the one you are looking for is the COMPARE button....click it and it will bring up a small box on your screen with 6 companies in it, tick all the boxes and press GO…..then you just sit back and watch the Genie go to work. You will see it opening new tabs on your computer.....it will open 6 in total and wait until it’s finished…..this will take about 1 minute. When it’s finished, let’s say the first tab shows £150 as the cheapest price and you go to the next tab and it shows £130, just go back and close the £150 tab down because you know you have seen it for £130…….just click through all the tabs and narrow it down until you find the best price and best deal……..the best price is not always the best deal because you may find a store giving something FREE when you buy from them…….this whole search should take you about 10 minutes instead of the hours and hours it would normally take.

Options Button

This button is very important…….click it and it will bring up a box in the centre of your screen. In the top left hand corner you will see it shows London England……if you don’t live in London, change it to your local area and even if you do live in London, still make it more specific to your area. Click SAVE CHANGES and then close the box. Now let’s say you needed a Printer cartridge and you need it today, you can’t wait for a delivery. Do your Google search for the Cartridge and the Genie will appear. This time click the MAP button……this is linked to Google Maps so it will show you all the stores in your area that stock that particular cartridge, it will show their phone numbers, address and where they are on the map and all you have to do is call them to make sure it’s in stock and go collect it.

Voucher Button

Every time you do a search for an item and you have your final price, go back to the tab where you put in your original search so that you see the Genie, click the voucher button and it will show you if any company is offering any further discounts. Each voucher has a unique code so you tell the store the code and it could save you even more money.

What’s so special about the Genie

When you do a Google search for anything, the companies that are at the top of Google are the companies that pay Google the most money in advertising. The problem with that is the customer…..you and me…..never get the best price, because the best price might be down on page 423 and you’re just not going there. The majority of people will search the first page, some may go to the second page but the truth is we usually get fed up after we’ve looked through the top 2 or 3 sites, so we never get the best price, we get the company who is paying Google the most money to be there……now the Genie, it will find the best price even if it is down on page 423 and as I said it will do it in about 1 minute.
