Online shopping is one of the greatest innovations to come from the internet. We can comparison ship without having to drive all over town, and we can read reviews of products from customers all around the world. Amazon leads the way in online shopping. If you are an Amazon shopper, here are some ways that you can improve your experience. (If you prefer another site, some of these tips may work there, too!)
1) Stop the Tracking - Yes, Amazon tracks what you look at and then tries to run ads to get you to buy it. To stop this, go to this page, select "Do Not Personalize Ads from Amazon for this Internet Browser", and click submit. (You will need to do this for each browser you use on each computer you own.) You will still see Amazon's ads, but they will be generic ads that are not specific to products you have viewed.
2) Get On the List - Amazon has plenty of great deals, but you can't take advantage of them if you don't know about them. Visit this link and sign up to receive emails in your favorite categories.
3) Availability Alerts - If the product you want is not available, you can sign up to get an email when it comes available again. Next to the product's name will be a button that says "Email me". Click the button and Amazon will let you know when the item is back in stock.
4) Track It - If you can't wait to get your package, Amazon can keep you updated on its progress to you by text message.
5) Share Prime Shipping - If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can share your free shipping with another adult and up to four kids. Go to the "Manage Prime Membership" page and look for the "Share your Prime benefits" section.
6) Make Money on Amazon - Amazon is a great place to spend money, but it can also help you make money. Many items also have a "Sell on Amazon" button that will allow you to sell your item back to Amazon. While you might not make as much as selling it on your own, it is a quick and painless way to get a little extra money to put toward your next purchase.
