Anyone else feels these US documentaries feel like the same stuff we got n the late 90's?
-
This doc was released in 2015, yet it feels like it was released in the 90s.
-
The speed of expansion at Amazon has been remarkable.
-
Doc is great so far. But the journalist-crossing-their-arms-in-the-introduction thing is sooooo 1998.
-
Amazon Web Services has been the latest and arguably largest jewel in the companies capital asset crown. The low cost of hardware components, i.e. transistors, correlated with the growing ubiquity of smart devices has been their smartest business move so far.
-
Well done to him. He saw an opportunity and worked hard while taking risks to achieve his goals.
-
One thing I admire is that he kept his profit low, his strategy is what put him where he is
-
Amazon does what the consumer wants and takes the hit for it and gains in the long run. They changed the way companies interact with people and any company that won't change will lose.

This short documentary did not mention one key factor that hugely contributed to Amazon's success. Amazon's affiliate program, with it Amazon was able to put itself in front of millions of customers without spending a dime on advertising. Sure they paid commissions but after a sale was made, which was way better than paying up in front for ads and not knowing how many sales ads would generate. Brilliant if you ask me.

Investing the first 300k in a company is extremely risky. I wonder how much the net worth of his parents was at this time.
-
Jeff Bezos started his empire on selling books!!
-
Today 7/16/2019. Bezo’s net worth. $164 Billion. Still wealthiest man in the world
-
Can someone zap me back to my birth with $1000 to put in Amazon shares?
-
I remember a time aournd 2005 I could order a book with shipping for dirt cheap. Now when I look at the shipping cost I almost always hit the cancel order at amazon.
-
Successful companies are ran by CEOs that know their business so well they could cover for anyone’s job in the company.
-
Can’t help to notice the amazing similarities between the early days of the Amazon and current day Tesla.
-
And now he's the richest man in the world. From position 30 to 1. From a net worth of $18B to $155B!
-
Are the interviewers forcing their subjects to cross their arms during the introductions? It seems so unnatural.
-
Awesome! Finally found it here. I thought it was only available at the Bloomberg website. Happy to see it one playlist.
-
I know I was definitely one of his first customers. When I was in college, I bought my textbooks and other assigned books from Amazon. Moreover, when I started teaching, I still bought my books from Amazon.
