Stop right there! Think...."Amazon."

Are you thinking? Okay, how 'bout now?

Are you thinking...."books?"

Well if so, sure, Amazon sells books. And they're very nice books too, I'm sure.

But were you aware that Amazon also has tremendous deals on electronics, tools, kitchen goodies, baby stuff, clothing, dvds, music, software, and much much much MUCH more?

No? Well then, let's plunge right into:

Before You Begin - Some Basic Premises

Buying on Amazon is quite simple! One searches for the item one desires, clicks on the "Add to Shopping Cart" button, and eventually checks out and pays. Their help, located at their How To Place An Order page, is most informative. Do visit it and read.

Next, visit the main site . On the left hand side, you'll see various stores like

But that's not all! Nearby the top of the page, you'll see a link for All 32-odd product categories. Click on that now - you'll see such exciting stores like:

But Amazon doesn't stop there. They analyze buying patterns...and have even created the super cool Early Adopters list. This list is is the newest and coolest products Amazon.com customers are buying. Updated daily, it's based entirely on purchase patterns.

Once you're on the Amazon.com site, you can search for anything you'd like - you'll be returned the targeted results. It's really quite astonishing what you can find on Amazon.com - it ranges all the way from fine jewelry like

to popular electronics like:

to gourmet foods like:

to Getzen trumpets like

to...you get the idea. And because Amazon is sooooo huuuuuuuge, quite often you'll get great deals and savings beyond other stores! Which brings me to my next point:

Step 1 - Deals of the Day

Amazon.com can afford to sell items at discounts more huge than 3 circus elephants at times. They provide a neat direct path to them via their

Today's Deals

Click on the above link now - you'll see all the current deals (browsable by category as well!). Sometimes you'll see hefty rebates offered (ie, one time I discovered that one could get cash back when one bought qualifying Canon digital SLR cameras or lenses. Double or triple the rebate amounts on each item--for totals of up to $600 or more--when you buy two, three, or more qualifying items).

Now, I don't know about you, but if I was in the market for that particular product, it would certainly be most appealing!

What else can you do with Amazon.com? Well, how about:

Step 2 - Gift eCards

Now that you see what Amazon.com has to offer (so much more than books!), you can see the benefits and ease it can deliver to folks online. So why not take even more advantage of that...send an Amazon.com gift certificate via an eCard to your friends and family!

It sure makes gift-giving a lot easier, let me tell you!

And it's easy to do. Just visit the Gift Certificates page, decide how much you want to send, and, well, just send it off! The recipient will receive email about the gift and be able to apply it right away.

Finally, let's close this section with one of my favorite Amazon.com benefits - if you order over $25 worth of books and such, you're often eligible for Free Shipping . I've found that to be quite a great help when doing mass purchases.

What else? How about:
