In the beginning, Amazon sold...1 book. In its first week. What a start.

[00:00] Amazon sold one book a week, and now [00:02] Amazon sells almost everything. Phones, [00:04] furniture, gloves, entire businesses [00:07] even. But, when it first started, it [00:10] could barely sell anything. Back in [00:13] 1995, Jeff Bezos started Amazon as an [00:16] online bookstore. And the first week, [00:18] they sold one book. That's it. So, [00:20] literally a website so super simple, no [00:23] Prime, nothing like that, that sold [00:25] books. But then suddenly, orders started [00:27] to come in. And from all over the world. [00:29] And places that Jeff Bezos hadn't even [00:31] considered. Because the internet removed [00:34] one crucial thing, and that's location. [00:37] Suddenly, a tiny bookstore went global. [00:40] And that tiny signal became a [00:42] trillion-dollar company today.
