PayPal
Millions of people today depend on PayPal to make their financial transactions. But back when it was launched in 1998, it was a new idea that did not attract many people. At the time, the Internet was still new and it required public trust in order to succeed, and that was difficult. However, PayPal’s founders were asking people to hand over their bank account information, in addition to other personal information. Nevertheless, the company rose to fame and was able to grow amazingly.
Instagram was founded in 2010, in an era when Facebook was already the king of social media. But Instagram started gaining popularity when it turned into a platform that enables you to share photos with your friends and family and follow other people. Instagram was not uniquely different from its competitors, except that it managed to create a strong user base. Instagram has now grown to be one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.

In 1994, it was dangerous to buy books online. How can you ensure that you get what you paid for? Besides, there were libraries in all major cities. Why not buy books from them? Within years, Amazon became one of the most popular stores on the Internet and started expanding to offer various products.
