By: Holly Cardew

Running an online business isn’t easy. It takes a lot of patience, determination and hard work, and you need to remember that success doesn’t magically happen over night. On top of that, the industry is growing fast and constantly changing; new trends  are emerging left, right, and centre and it’s not always easy to stay ahead of the game.

Whether you’re new to eCommerce or have been in the industry for years, we believe that a little inspiration can go a long way. So, we’ve put together a list of 12 eCommerce entrepreneurs that will inspire you.

Check them out, read their success stories, and as they say, learn from the best.

1. Daniel Beauchamp

We love VR at Pixc and think it’s going to be huge for online shopping — I tried the VR display at the Shopify Unite conference and came away incredibly impressed.

Meet the man behind Shopify’s VR efforts: Daniel Beauchamp. His official title is the Head of Virtual Reality, and he’s the guy that helps position Shopify at the forefront of the coming vCommerce (virtual commerce) movement.

If you want to stay updated with VR, stayed tuned on his Twitter, @pushmatrix.

2. Carl Hartmann

Carl is the CEO of Temando, a company that helps companies optimize product delivery to customers. He’s won many awards for his work, including the IBM Global Entrepreneur of the Year in Australia.

As Carl says, if you want to sell online, you need to get three things in order: a place to sell, a method of accepting payments, and a way to ship your products. If you’ve ever tried to ship a product (especially internationally), you understand that it can sometimes be a struggle. Temando lets store owners ship from anywhere in a streamlined fulfillment process.

3. Steve Chou

Steve is the founder of My Wife Quit Her Job, a blog with a catchy name and incredibly valuable tips for eCommerce.

When Steve’s wife became pregnant, Steve set out to replace her $100K salary within a year. He’s achieved that goal, and now he teaches budding entrepreneurs how to start their own eCommerce businesses.

If you’ve ever thought about creating an online store, start at Steve’s website. You’ll find a treasure trove of information about getting your business set up, as well as a popular blog with plenty of eCommerce tips.

Steve also publishes a small business podcast that continually features eCommerce influencers like Andrew Warner of Mixergy, Tony Horton of P90X, and Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income.

4. Linda Bustos

Linda Bustos is the genius behind the GetElastic blog, the number-one subscribed eCommerce blog in the world. It offers incredibly valuable advice on everything from multi-channel management to conversion optimization.

In October 2015, Linda co-founded Edgacent, a firm that advises and creates strategy for eCommerce brands. Along with her partners Matt Dion and Mark Miller, Edgacent has a power-packed 50 years of experience under its roof.
