For that you don't need to be a programmer, nor you would need to hire one.
If you were planning to develop something like Gmail, then it would be a different story!

What about a social networking site? I have no idea where to start with building one but, I have what I believe would be a great idea that would generate some pretty good advertising revenue.

I hate shitting on ideas, but...

My last job was building a social network. That company had 500 employees and lots of capital. They are going to fail utterly. Don't do it.

Ok but, what are the steps to building one? Just for the sake of mental exercise. Humor me.

Great point Cruatha, every time I hear how someone is "building the next facebook" I want to punch them in the face.

Fisto you may want to talk to Lumiere, he is creating a social network called Flashpodding. His site has a decent chance at success because he is targeting a very specific niche group of people and not trying to compete with facebook.

My impression is that most businesses built around advertising revenue will not survive the next five years. Look on what's happening now in FCC and Congress, read all the talks about online advertisers. Their golden days were in past.

You could just create one on Ning, there are some pretty successful networks on there that make money.

I can probably help you, but I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for here? A development plan?

Unfortunately the development, while a big hurdle, is relatively small compared to the rest. Operations and marketing dwarf it and make it completely insignificant.

Indeed your only chance to have a successful social network is micro-niche, but the problem with that is unless you can bring some very specific value to that niche there's no reason for your customers to not use Facebook, Ning, whatever else instead. Facebook is flexible enough to support almost any social network, and Ning is built to support niche social networks.

you gotta be highly focused for your network to have any chance of success. if not, forget it

you don't need programming skills to run a successful online business, while there are certain things where you do need to hire a professional

I think it really depends on what kind of internet business. But, for affiliate and PPC marketing, you definitely DO NOT need to be a programmer at all.

In fact, you don't need to be a programmer for most type of internet businesses. However, there are some things that you just might not be able to do yourself, and for those bits and pieces you can hire a freelance programmer to help you out. For example, you set up your site, but now you want to integrate it with some kind of payment system like Paypal. Depending on the platform you use, it could be pretty simple. Or it could not.

you should familiarize yourself at least at conceptual level with the technology too

In terms of technology I suggest this mix though I am not a technologist by any means

HTML (the foundation), CSS (the design of the foundation), PHP + MSQL (the information warehouse architecture).

I've been thinking about this as well and so far here is what I got.

3 Steps to a successful online business

1.) Conduct Market study - determine the size of your market, and the competitors. Data is accessible through Google search analytics.

2.) Decide on Market approach
a. Direct competition - find a niche relative to your competitor, fight tooth and nail for traffic.
b. Market creation - create a new niche, build it, and maybe they will come.

3.) Develop your product
a. create from scratch
b. outsource

I think that would be the gist of it keeping in mind costs and future growth. Ideally, it would be a turn key operation, with the minimum amount of maintenance after product launch. Thoughts?
