Bright Builders
is a company that offers several different
services to people in need of an online
business. Primarily, they focus on
building an ecommerce or store front website
that will allow you to sell a multitude of
products.
Another side to Bright Builders is eBay
tools, they offer training and support in
getting your products on the popular
auction site. They claim that with
their services and expertise anyone can have
a booming internet business.
The problem that I have with
BrightBuilders.com is the prices that they
charge for a website and, some seemingly,
basic internet marketing training.
Customers have reported paying anywhere
between 6 and 9 thousand dollars. In
my opinion that is excessive and I know for
a fact that there are cheaper services
available.
BrightBuilders have also faced some
customer complaints that have been reported
throughout the internet. Mostly they
are from folks that have bought the service
and have not seen any profits from their
websites.
With these types of complaints it's hard
to know whether the person failed due to a
lack of effort, or because the system itself
is flawed. Regardless of what
advertisements may claim developing an
online business takes time, hard work, and
perseverance whether you're on your
own or working with Bright Builders.
The fact of the matter still is that
paying thousands of dollars for an online
business is way to much. Below are
some recommendations for tools that can help
you build a successful website without
costing an arm and a leg, (Under $300).
There are other materials that you may
need along the way like marketing and SEO
books. You can pick them up as your
needs arise and all those services bought
separately will still cost a fraction of
what Bright Builders charges.
For people with intermediate computer
skills I would recommend
XSitePro, it's a website development tool
that takes you through a step-by-step
process of building, designing, and
launching a profitable site. Read the
full
XSitePro Review.
For folks that have beginner computer
skills you can work with companies that
provide a similar service to
BrightBuilders.com but
for much cheaper. One of
the most respected is
Site Build It, which takes care of
hosting and allows
you to point and click your way to
developing a website. Read the
full
Site Build It Review.

I , too, got sucked into this Bright Builders scam. Now I've lost money I didn't have to lose & have gotten absolutely nothing in return, except maybe a "kiss off". They have not lived up to ANY "promises" they made & even though the red flags were there, they are really good at manipulating & sucked me in anyway-a hard lesson to learn & I'll be paying for it for the next few years!

I signed up inFeb. 2008 And finnaly received a verbal copy of a "contract". It said I had 3 days to reject the deal,which I did within 3 days of receiving the verbal "contract". Now I have fight with them to get a refund. I don't even have a website established yet.Their help is very little & far between phone calls & contact with Alan.They are supposed to be a reputable company but it took 6 months to hear what I was signing up for at over $.9,000.00. I really thougth I could make a buckwith this company.I know my next step to meet with the US attourney for NJ & probably talk to the one in Utah.

Buyer Be Ware. Yep, I, too, got baited into the sales pitch by Bright Builders staff members. The company is not top notched when it comes to the needs of assisting beginners in developing web sites. First, let's say for the cost into their program, YOU have to build your web site. The guidance they provide you can find online if you goggle it. The tech support staff is well intentioned,however,it depends on what question you pose to them for assistance. You may get someone who is highly competent in web developing or you may get someone who has minimal skills in that area. So, when you call for assistance, it like rolling the dice. You don't what type of assistance you are going to get. Oh yes, and lets not forget, the time the products on my website were lost. They just disappeared into the abyss of never, never land. Bright Builder's response was we apologize. That was it. No legitimate explanation about what happened. What kind of internet marketing company are they th... read more»

Please do not sign up with "Bright Builders". They are not worth $6,000.00 to join which does not count the $30.00 a month for web hosting but you're not ready to put anything on the web. Soon after I joined, there was a fast talking high pressure guy who encouraged me to register my company with the state of Nevada to hide as a vail of protection to the tune of $1,500.00 and a monthly service fee of $49.99. Wow I must have had a lapse of sanity. In addition there was a $1,100.00 charge to have someone keep my books for accounting purposes plus a monthly $15.00 charge to keep that going. When I signed on for all of that Bright Builder garbage they informed me that they had to tape the conversation. So I did not feel good about that either. Many red flags were going up but I still hoping for the best I guess. Before a week was up I changed my mind and wanted out of the whole thing. Of course they would not let me go. So I worked with the thing as best I could but it was not for... read more»

We spent well over 7000.00 on there program plus a web site...my wife and I were disabled and thought this would be a nice opportunity...they told us it would only take a few months to get the web site up...a year later my poor wife spending up to 8 hours a day on it finally broke down...it was a giant rip-off...we are still suffering because of it...just so you know...thanks for listening...maybe you can talk to these people.

I began researching internet marketing in October of 2007. I was a blank slate and was vulnerable to any pitch by a reputable company. Bright Builders offered me a package that would take me from zero to 60 in 4 seconds flat. They checked out as being certified by Ebay and having excellent verifiable credentials. The promise was to make me a Ebay Powerseller with a six figure income for a "small" fee of $13,000. I had absolutely nothing to compare that with and took the offer very seriously. After discussing this with my wife, we decided it was a good investment. I called the rep at Bright Builders to tell him it was a go. He wasn't in, so I left a message. While I was waiting for a call back I went online and googled Ebay business start ups. You all know what I got. Every ebook and program imaginable. I went about clicking my way thru countless offers and came to the realization that $13,000 was way to much. The interesting thing is that a month later a got a call from a different Bri... read more»
