Jeff Bezos: Amazon turned into 'the everything store' thanks to an email to 1,000 random people. (via CNBCMakeIt)

Now, there's almost nothing you can't buy on Amazon, which begs the question: How did it become "the everything store"?In 1997, after Amazon made enormous strides into selling CDs and DVDs, Bezos wanted to see how else he could expand his online storefront.

The self-made billionaire recalled one person writing back, "windshield wiper blades, because I really need windshield wiper blades."." Bezos said at the talk. "So then we launched electronics and toys and many other categories over time."By the early 2000s, Amazon moved far beyond books, videos and music — offering apparel, electronics, toys, kitchenware and even magazine subscriptions.

"We'll listen to customers, invent on their behalf, and personalize the store for each of them, all while working hard to continue to earn their trust," he wrote. "Each new product and service we offer makes us more relevant to a wider group of customers and can increase the frequency with which they visit our store.". While very few people will reach similar success, we can all learn from his way of thinking.

MakeIt good boy

MakeIt I’ve honestly never used Amazon , no reason for it. And I’m not impatient, I can wait for my products that I do purchase online. If you need something shipped in 24 hours you’re not planning correctly.

MakeIt As a employee of amazon, I can say with absolute honesty AmznFulfillment centers are COVID hot spots,super spreaders. All too many ppl don’t wear their masks properly, or they just don’t wear it. Management doesn’t care, all they care about is productivity. Shame on JeffBezos

MakeIt please don’t say you’re not seeing what’s happening in Nigeria. Just one tweet from your platform will go a long way. Young people are being killed like Animals in Nigeria by the police that are supposed to be protecting us. Help us share the word EndSARS
