No, around that time there were several book stores already selling on the net. It's Bezos' intensity and intelligence that made him what he is today.

And for that they had to build an entire logistics chain around the world, beating stores and logistics companies at their own games. And he was also at the forefront of several other trends that followed.

Glomo you’re so fucking stupid, $15 an hour to work in a warehouse is the minimum wage for warehouses in California and California has a $12 or maybe $13(not sure if it went up) minimum wage for any job. You think Amazon became as big as it is without taking advantage of underpaid workers and setting overly ambitious goals for the workers, who if they don’t meet the goals, are fired and replaced like they are worth nothing. If Amazon wanted to have high standards and pay their workers well I’d be all behind Bezos but that isn’t the case. Just like all huge corporations, they try to get as much work out of you for as little as possible.

If your company pays the normal precentage tax as ordinary people do, you will without a doubt go under. 3. how is he a thief exactly? he has made his money honestly from his company and no matter how disgusted you are by the fact that he pulls such huge numbers, or how hurt your feelings get, it doesn't give you the right to slander him and call him a thief. get the fuck out of here with that socialist bullshit.

@@klash3532 Wait do you really think all those people who work there had a choice to live like a slave or not? Have you've seen how hopeless people are nowadays? The economy is shitty and everyone is in debt (ie countries and people). The wealth inequality is bigger than ever and a new economic crisis is near. Just simply look at the people who default on their student loan debt, cannot pay for their healthcare and countries like Turkey, Italy, Venezuela, Greece, Iran are already crashing. How can you not call him a thief if he does not pay his workers enough to live in a apartment and feed themselves well without relying on foodstamps supplied by the government? Amazon has received major financial incentives by the government which they achieved by legal bribery called lobbying. If you add those incentives up with the taxes they are paying, they are earning (not losing) money. I don't care they cannot access their money because they stored it on a tax haven outside the US, they sure don't wanna pay it up like an unpriviliged honest taxpayer does it. That is thievery, I don't care if its legal, something like this is unprecendented since the gilded age. By the way for over a decade Amazon was relying on investors to expand and were losing money. During that time Amazon destroyed competition who could not compete because they were not able to do business with a defecit. And what is the result of it? A perfect storm for a Monopoly and modern slavery. By the way, how the hell can you say that a company cannot survive with the taxes they have to pay if a normal taxpayer can barely survive with the sky high rent and other basic expenditures they have to pay for. How can you defend these companies that are doing better than ever before while people are living almost as terrible as they did in the 20s? Every Keynesian capitalist and Adam Smith would be disgusted by your indoctrinated comment. You are far gone from any ethical reasoning

So he nails it here: - 100% right on the growth and world changing impact of Internet usage - Being specific about the impact for commerce and sales. E-commerce did not exist and would take a long time to mature. How he conceived that mental picture of the future is unbelievable. - Being spot on with the attention scarcity. It got so much worse as we all know. - making the right deduction and logical reasoning for starting out with books. It’s the numbers that gave him the insight. He did come out of a quantitative hedge fund. Emotion doesn’t matter, facts and data do - already has a professional approach to online advertising, bannering and calculation ROI/ROAS and conversion. Google Adword and affiliatie marketing online had yet to be invented! - Having the smart setup of keeping inventory of the most in demand items and connecting electronically with wholesale and third party publishers. - being and remaining customer centric. - capturing user data to create a better customer experience and better Amazon $$$ - clearly having a plan and execution power to go way beyond books and music. This 5:30 minute clip contains more insights and knowledge than a whole year in business school

I remember when eBay was bigger than Amazon. I'm older so I got to see the internet from nothing to now.

As Mr. Bezos said, the path to success is to provide innovation that gives real value to the customer. I have probably bought somewhere between 500 and 1000 books from Amazon over the years. (And Abebooks, my number two online source for books, is wholly-owned by Amazon.) Like so many people, I miss a lot of the independent bookstores that have closed over the last 20 years but even the best of those stores rarely stocked more than 20,000 titles. Even 10,000 titles was high for most of those stores. Amazon offers millions. That, as Bezos noted, cannot possibly be replicated by a bricks-and-mortar store. Also, almost every book I have bought from Amazon would have cost me more if I had been able to locate it in a store. Many of the books I have are out-of-print, and locating them would have been nearly impossible. My library would have been effectively impossible to pull together without the incredible source we have in Amazon. I am grateful, and have no complaint that I have contributed to his $100,000,000,000 fortune. He has changed the world.

- What happens if Amazon do something bad to you, so you decide to boycott them....your choice of millions of books suddenly isn't so convenient

I like that the two key ideas behind amazon were so simple. 1. You don't need to be an expert at making predictions to know that if something is growing at that rate it's going to become huge very quickly. Even if you overestimate the growth rate by a whole order of magnitude it's still a big rate of growth. 2. If you need to compete with others with a different business model, best to start off where you have advantage, like what he explains in the video about books. Simple.

I think the biggest takeaway is that building a business in the context of 2,000%+ growth and offering things that couldn't really exist any other way but online (supply chain distribution network and customer service). So many things learned along the way.

The swedish and nowadays multinational company ginza invented this for over 65 years ago. So jeff stole the idea from them .

i really hope they figure a way to not charge for shipping and taxes. that is huge deal for customers when buying something and if countries can do something to reduce thr prices that will increase the shipping like it was before but doesn't now :(

The main skill that he had is seeking to help, satisfy, and please customers. He was putting others' needs/wants first...above and beyond his own desires for prosperity. It was a type of gamble and self sacrifice at that time because there was no guarantee that his business model would work out. He just saw a trend, and took a leap of faith to launch something based on that trend. The reason Amazon became the a success story that it is now is because his hunch was right on, and because his customers appreciated the convenience of it. No one should be bitter about him having a futuristic vision that led him to billionaire status...we all have that opportunity, but most of us don't take action nor put in the effort like he did. Effort + Discipline = Success
