Shopify just announced the five winners of this year’s Build-A-Business competition!
During the 8 months of this year’s Shopify competition, over 10,000 entrepreneurs created Shopify online stores that sold more than $55 million in products. The five businesses that sold the most over any two months of the competition each win a $50,000 US investment.
But not only that, the fine folks over at Shopify are also sending each of the winners on a trip to New York City to meet with the industry experts who served as mentors to the participants throughout the competition (Tim Ferriss, Daymond John, Eric Ries and moi).
I can’t wait to meet and hug Debbie Sterling, the winner of my category, Art & Design! Debbie is a female engineer from Stanford University and created GoldieBlox, a construction toy that encourages young girls to get into engineering, develop spatial skills and hone problem-solving abilities. What’s not to like?
The other four category winners are: Freshtops, Game Klip, SinnyMe Tea and Canadian Icons.
Congratulations to all the winners! And congrats to team Shopify for making this comeptition happen! I am honored to have gone from winner to mentor! Yay, for e-commerce! Yay internet!
Read about the competition over on the Shopify blog.
(A year ago, the phone rang at Tattly HQs and Shopify’s CPO, Harley Finkelstein, told us that we won the Shopify competition in our category! Oh, the memories!)
Well done to all those that one! I love it when competitions like this appear as they manage to motivate me to keep going with my website in the hope that I can be featured on day so thanks to Shopify and you for the inspiration!

Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail.
I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation but
I find this matter to be actually something that I think I
might by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated
and very large for me. I’m looking ahead to your subsequent submit, I’ll try to get the cling of it!

Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you
know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

It’s in fact very complicated in this active life to listen news on Television, so I just use internet for that purpose, and get the most up-to-date news.

Hi, There’s no doubt that your site could possibly be having internet browser compatibility problems.
When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Other than that, wonderful website!

Interact with those who leave comments and they are likely to keep the conversation going.
Often times the best feedback you get is negative in nature therefore view it as
constructive criticism. Link building involves a
number of techniques, from link exchange to
blogging.
