How I Learned Business - Use Other People's Money

I've noticed time and time again some of the best startup websites, social networks, and ideas on the web all had help from outside investors. It seems as though the best way to make money online is to get an idea, create it and market it, and then gain money for marketing and publishing from other investors. People who already have a large financial standing and want to invest in a sure-thing for upcoming ideas on websites. Thoughts on this?

 

Yea but what if the idea doesn't work out ??

 

Then you pray you don't wake up with a horse's head next to you in bed.

 

Then why would I be working towards it? When you know you have a good idea and you know it can make money, it's a niche that hasn't been hit yet blah blah THEN you know investment money is a good option. Look at Facebook, Digg, MySpace... all of these got some investment early on and this can be verified in countless interviews with founders and Wikipedia articles.

Just saying, if you want to make it big with internet apps and websites it's really important to have startup money for marketing and funding. Some people can go at it alone, but it's so much harder.
