We are showcasing stores that have entered Build-A-Business Competition to inspire more to join in on the fun! 

The competition is simple, come up with a product to sell, open your online store and pick a mentor. Our community and your mentor will give you great advice and guidance along the way.  When you open a new store and enter the Build-A-Business competition, you'll receive a free .CO domain for 12 months, $100 in Google AdWords Credits and $100 in MailChimp Credits. 

By February 28th 2013, the four stores that have sold the most over any two month period will win a grand prize package – including a $50,000 investment to help make your business an even bigger success. 

We’ve brought on some of the industry’s biggest names to act as mentors and help guide you through the process:

• Tim Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek
• Daymond John, Founder of FUBU & star of The Shark Tank
• Eric Ries, Author of The Lean Startup
• Tina Roth Eisenberg, swissmiss & Tattly
