How Amazon Really Makes Its Money

Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world, but it does not make most of its

profit by selling products online. Product sales help Amazon grow users, but the real money

comes from services. Amazon’s largest profit source is AWS, or Amazon Web Services,

which provides cloud servers and storage to companies, apps, and websites around

the world. Many popular platforms depend on Amazon’s cloud infrastructure to run smoothly.

Amazon also earns a large amount of money from advertising, where brands pay to show their products

at the top of search results. Another major income source is Amazon Prime,

where millions of users pay monthly or yearly fees for fast delivery and digital content.
