3 Online Businesses I Visit Most Often

3 Online Businesses I Visit Most Often
1. Amazon
Amazon is an e-commerce company based out of Seattle Washington. This company sells just about anything you ever wanted, new and used. It runs similarly to ebay by having people create an Amazon account to sell their product. once the product sells, Amazon takes a small percentage of the sale price as a listing fee. All transactions are done over the internet. I like to shop on Amazon because it seems like a cleaner more organized way of shopping than on Ebay. They give you options as to if you needed your product new or used. I believe that http://www.amazon.com/ is doing it's job quite well because it is currently the leading e-commerce shopping site.

2. Kayak
Lately I've been frequently visiting the site Kayak because i'm tracking prices of flights to Denver next month. Kayak is not an online travel agent but it does offer vacation packages, flight and hotels deals and discounted rates. It makes it's money off of clicks per ad such as banners and pop-ups. It also makes money when people book a hotel from their site. I like that http://www.kayak.com/ implements a price predictor on flights giving you a good guestimate if you should buy now or wait because prices will be dropping. I think this site is doing well as I have started using it after Bing's price predictor was shut down.  

3. Etsy
Etsy is an online homemade and antique store. Everything for sale is either homemade or is an antique. I think this site took off during the "support small businesses" movement started and has been doing a great job ever since. Crafters can list their product for .20$ and sell it using Etsy's checkout system for 3.5%. I like to shop at this site because you get one of a kind items that people put a lot of time and energy into instead of big box stores that mass produce everything without giving you a unique product. To visit Esty, https://www.etsy.com/.
