How to Buy from Amazon Online – Enter to the World of Products

Posted by

Hello everyone! 99% of you probably know Amazon website, but if you haven’t bought anything from Amazon yet or if you want to make your first purchase at Amazon, this post will explain you how to buy from Amazon online. Stay with me!

Let’s take a brief look at Amazon Company first and then follow me to find out the step by step process of buying products at Amazon. Amazon is an American electronic commerce company which was founded by Jeff Bezos in Seattle, Washington in 1994. Amazon started its work in 1995 selling books, but now you can find almost everything over there! Amazon started to manufacture and release ebook readers and now its e-readers are extremely famous all around the world. Amazon is the biggest online store in the Internet and that’s because of its Affiliate Marketing system which resulted in many direct and indirect jobs.

Jeff Bezos studied Physics at university, but after a while changed it to Computer Science. After graduation, he worked in several companies, SHAW being the last one where he worked. These jobs were too far from his childhood dreams and that was the time when the idea of creating his own online store came to his mind. Fortunately, it coincided with unparalleled growth of the Internet. Jeff himself was surprised when he found out that the Internet growth increased 23 times from 1993 to 1994!

Jeff started research about his idea of creating an online store and searched for companies that can send their products via post. Jeff saved a list of 20 top companies in this field and almost all types of items that he was looking for were available for sale and shipping via post, but he found out that none of those companies sells books. There was a reason for that: there were no complete catalogs for all book titles because there were a great variety of books and creating a complete and perfect catalog cost too much as it would have taken thousands of pages.

At that time Jeff thought that he could take advantage of the Internet, create and put books titles over there. This website was very beneficial because:

  • There was no need for a physical product
  • Cost reduced a lot
  • Buying process could be done faster
  • Catalog of book titles could be changed every day without any additional costs

And that’s how Amazon.com was born!
