Complaint 175377 Details

The store I've bought from YourOwnStore (BrightLightMedia) named www.businessmachineshop.com was said to make £70K and cost about £5400, -

My store is now 13 months old and I have optimized it for 100%. I promoted my site through social media Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon but I have made no money other than the £30.00 I received from Amazon because family members bought something through my website, to see if it worked.

I have not had any other customers buying from my store and visits have not even reached 250 a month let alone the ‘just’ 250 a day as they stated by YOS would be an easy target to reach.
The time I have spent on my store is around 30-35 hours a week instead of 1-2 hours a day I was told was all that was needed to make this a success. I was never told I would have to write so many articles, no mention about article spinning (I had never even heard of it) it was all easy work; even a novice could do it.

After I had bought the store it became clear an article of at least 400 words had to be written for each category in your store. My store has more than 100 categories so that’s a lot of writing. Besides more articles had to be written for article spinning, needless to say I haven’t even gotten as far as that. As my writing isn’t great I had to outsource most of it which has cost me a further €600,-

Now I've come to a point where it’s no longer fun to work on my store as all the effort I have put in is not paying off.
I feel I have been misled by them and feel cheated out of my money and my precious time. Every night after a full day’s work I have spent another 3-4 hours categorizing and optimizing my store.

In my opinion YOS is misleading people into buying these stores with the unrealistic promises they make. So far we have not been given any real proof of any of their stores making real money. We have asked for that proof many times and we now believe they are unable to give it to us as it doesn't exist.

What worries me most is that this company is rapidly expanding into other niches - www.myjobwebsite.co.uk, www.yourtravelstore.co.uk and luring more unsuspecting people into buying a business that doesn't work.
