Amazon began life as the brainchild of Jeff Bezos, the former vice president of a Wall Street firm. Initially, the company was conceived as an online bookshop because Bezos noted that books were a popular global commodity with a low unit price. However, there were other items on his top ten list of potentially saleable commodities. These included compact disks, computer hardware, computer software, videos, and more.

Nowadays, Amazon has moved beyond books and sells anything you can think of, and it has grown substantially over the last ten years. In 2011, Amazon had 30,000 full-time employees, and five years later, it had 180,000 workers. Amazon is now a world-leading e-commerce platform that allows users to buy, sell, and partner with the company and there are many ways to profit from Amazon as a customer or a salesperson.
