Youtube and Myspace founders.....
What is there profession? Once you get an idea for a website, who do you go to? How do you start out like Google or Youtube or Myspace? Did these guys hire web designers or are they something else?

Yeah, there is no fixed formula or method. If you want to save time, just hire a web designer. If you don't want to reveal your idea, do it yourself or ask a friend to join. It will require your leadership skill to influence your friend.

If you are new to web marketing, you should think of asking a friend to join in technical aspect when you learn about e-marketing for your website.

Cheers,

In general, a couple of friends (most probably IT-professionals who studied together) create a project by theirselfs...usually no 3rd party investing is involved. They have enough skills to write basic HTML/scripts, and then advertise as fast as they can....As soon as they grow - they get popular, they get lots of investing offers and opportunities.
