You don't have to be a software programmer.

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.

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

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.

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?
