How do I start my own social networking site?

I want to start my own social networking site more similar to deviant art than myspace. I want people to be able to sign up and create simple profiles, just filling in their interests, music, movies, etc, where they can also upload pictures and video and people can comment eachother and comment each others work, as well as, join groups. How would I go about this?

Why not just use an existing site?





Do you know programming or is someone going to program this for you?





How much money do you have to put towards the project?
