Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I want to start a social network. Maybe not as big as Facebook, but a niche social network similar to goodreads.com or something along those lines.
How many coders do I need?
Would they be willing to donate time if the idea had good potential?
How would I find coders? Colleges?
Do I also need a website designer?
