My advice is the following although it's probably not what you want to hear.
First you should start to learn what this thing is all about.
Unless you have at least 2 million dollars a lot of patience,
you don't mind people screwing you up the ass, etc, etc
there is no way to start in this business.
You need to come with a plan, a strategy, a marketing plan,
etc, etc, you need contacts, you need to know what's going
on in the industry, need to know what's popular, try to see
ahead of things, etc, etc. This is an 80 hours a week job
and you can't just "buy" a website and make money. That
was 8 years ago.
Of course you can't do it all by yourself, it's okay to hire others
to do work for you....but at least you should know what you want from them, and understand some of it.
Designers can make great things. But you are the one who should
bring the message across to them what it is you want. The philosophy behind it.
Same for programmers. You should be able to explain what you
need, why you need it, and how it needs to fit in to your plan.
So you decided to get in to this business. Start reading and talking to people, be polite, don't piss people off, this is a small
world and everybody knows everybody. Coming here is a first
step of a very long road my friend.
Start reading, welcome to the board and GoFuckYourself!
