Starting a new business is easier than convincing your friends that your new business is a good idea.

We all have the idea, the drive, and especially the motivation, but its sometimes very hard to convey and convince others that these are all genuine. Try talking to a bank about your grand idea for example. They won't care too much.

This should never mean that you don't try. Entrepreneur may not have the money, but they almost always have the time and passion.

Grape, Do this:

First, ask yourself why you need someone else to run the site. Is it because you will be too busy doing other things? Will those other things improve your business?

If not, then run it yourself. You're the only one who understands your vision, so after you build it, you should be the only one to run it, at least at first.

If you can break down running it to a list of daily tasks, then list them, and train someone local to do it. Even better, setup a desk and computer for them in your own home and have them come over to work for you. Sure they can do it from their home, but having them come over at the same time every day (morning?) gives you a set schedule, structure, and free-form collaboration and generation of new ideas though conversation.

Whatever your project is, good luck!
