I would like to get help from someone regarding building a website. Going through the blog I realized there are loads of people who would like the same. I also came to know that everyone(or most) of them think that they have a great idea and their idea would be the next best thing and rake in millions for them. Yes, I am one of them who think this idea of mine is going to work. But I really dunno the a,b,c of building or getting a website built. So I am writing to ask you what is the procedure you would advise me to follow and how much will I have to spend on an average if I get thy done in Australia and how much in India? Thanks mate Vinnie. hi brian,

Young, hungry college student programmers are sometimes more open to it though. Agreed…if you have an actual web business I probably wouldn’t participate in these equity sharing deals either.

The idea is not whats valuable...it's how well you implement it, market it, etc. At the same time Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc were created, probably 100 other people had the same idea but weren't able to pull it off as effectively.

Much less hassle. However, for people who don't have this option financially, they can at least know there is an alternative.

During our initial years we got a lot of these type of equity sharing requests, and we discounted prices for a few of them. The outcome was always bad. Now we politely turn these down and let prospects know that we are focused on our own business. I heard this somewhere and its hard to not believe in it - How can someone ask us to invest our time and money paying my team to build on an idea that the client themselves don't want to invest in. In my humble opinion, an idea is only an idea until its profitable, then it becomes a business. I wouldn't half ass my concept by paying someone $500 to put it together. Do it right and find the right team with experience in building profitable businesses, not simply websites. Thanks! Gaurav Great comment Philip!
