I think it's better to minimize cost when it comes to programming...

Paying someone to build a site like facebook may cost you your one year savings and months of work...
By using free facebook clone script, you can setup an identical site within 30 minutes...

The reason why I want to point out this fact is because setting up a business can cost you big though it could have been done with minimum expenses...

If time is a matter for you, I would advise you to use the joomla script...

With joomla, you can build a site within 1 hour, add a template to it...

All this for free...

Check out resources of Joomla you'll understand why I'm praising this script:

Having a 100 pages website is far more better than having a 1 page sales letter...

You'll be able to rank on the search engine for a broad range of keywords...

Your site will also look more professional and you'll standout from your competitors...

Just go to youtube and search for tutorials on how to install joomla...

It would be a good start...

Concerning autoresponder, I'll recommend you to use free plugins/module from joomla...

Simply search for 'joomla autoresponder' ...

So now that you have a killer site ranking for hundreds of keywords on the serach engine and that can be updated easily, it's time to add features to it...

Check out Joomla's plugins and you'll be able to add the following features to your site...

A blog
An article directory
A classified ad section
An image/video gallery

Take your time, setting up such a site can take you 1 month or less depending on your free time...

The only drawback of implementing the above system is that you'll become hated...

.... by your competitors...
