I have a site idea and a ? for experts
 

I have an idea for a site that would target a specific niche. I do not have experience in running a site, however. The question is:what would I have to spend just to get it up and running. Then what would it cost to hire someone to run the site if I could not do it myself?

Without detailed info, your not going to get detailed answers.

if I give my idea out, someone could take it

If you don't tell these people something about the site there is 0 chance they can help you. I can start a site for free. I can also start one for $50,000. Don't worry so much, not many of the people here that can make something work would steal an idea.

BTW, Get ready for the flaming.

Good Luck

:2 cents:

that was my basic question-what would just setting a site up cost? If I understand you correctly, it would not cost much-but what about the hardware requirement for it?

The easy answer: ADULT WORKER

I'm always interested in new stuff :)

it depends... if you are shooting custom stuff, i would say you will need to do 8 shoots or so... minimum $2000-$2500 for content alone.

plus other costs...

use an AVS for hosting and billing to start - they take a flat % of sales, and no overhead for bandwidth or space.... good way to start free.

ProAdult - Best AVS

Sign up there - their Quantum program can't be beat for monthly rebills!

The thing of it is if you are that clueless on how to start a site, why are you worried someone will steal it? As soon as you release it someone will copy your idea. It is all a matter of who markets better in the long run...


Be careful there are a lot of people out there who will take your money and not care a single bit if you are successful or fail.
