E commerce made me broke!

E commerce has changed the way how we shop online, as it provides great ease through online transactions. One drastic way it has changed business strategies is through micro transactions. These refer to the purchases available to the user although the application is free to download. This feature can be seen being used extensively in games. Massively popular games like... 

Get Rich!

 or World of Tanks,

LinePLAY, Steam Games depend heavily on this business strategy of micro transations to rake in profits. Moreover, they make these games free to download, hence once the user is hooked onto the game and want more, their tendency to spend money is higher. i was once addicted to spending money online on games too! How the cycle goes is that i will first link my credit card to the game, and then you can top up money to your in-game wallet before purchasing anything. Once the linking is done, i will buy an in game item, and then after a while later, i will feel like having more, and i will buy another! and the cycle repeats itself! It becomes really dangerous and scary as the spending increases and if it is uncontrollable! 

The same also happens for online shopping, e-commerce allows us to spend money so freely over the web, that when we see an item that we like, it is easy to just purchase the good and have it shipped over and delivered right to your doorstep! This...i am still guilty of! shopping online is really easy, and it is so easy to obtain the product that you want with just a few clicks away.. and then after a fury of clicks away, you realise the damage done to your wallet when the bills come out. Which really shows how effective e commerce is in making you spend money! no longer do i need to pop by 7 eleven stores to buy those prepaid cards for my Maplestory game. 

oh everyone knows maplestory and their acash frenzy! with everyone flocking to get a quick boost in game or a chance for a rare item! Instead, i can simply link my card and keep purchasing over and over again without much verification required! 

e commerce has definitely changed the way how we shop online. now we no longer look towards shops in malls for our clothes, but rather now everyone is hopping onto the blogshop bandwagon. Instead of having to wait for a time when there is no lesson to buy clothes at the mall, students like me can simply browse at blogshops online at our ease and e commerce will help us settle the rest! well that is provided if we have free wifi :) E commerce is an exceptionally powerful tool in raking in profits and while the shops are benefitting from the demand that i am providing them with, i am definitely getting a lot more broke!

i am a great big fan of e commerce, and even though i do spend a lot on e commerce, i will still sing praises for it because i am able to get the goods that i want! it has definitely helped me to get my goods a whole lot easier. and definitely, who doesn't want their temptations to be fufilled?! that when you see an item that you really love online, you are actually able to buy it with just a few clicks??

Whoever came up with the idea of e commerce is a genius.
