I have paid for and am having a social networking site developed for a business venture. It’s quite a complicated one focusing on a partcular niche. It has user walls that people can comment on like Facebook. It also let’s you share videos and audio like YouTube. So in essence it’s basically a mixture of the two mentioned sites.I have no previous website building or programming experience. I am proficient to a certain extent using computers. It will be hosted on a dedicated server. I need to know what basically the role of the webmaster or administrator would fully entail as I guess I will be it as I have paid for the site to be created? Please can someone advise me what I can expect to be doing and how many people would it take to run a social network aimed at a global audience successfully.

The web developers have said that the site will run itself more or less but obviously I will have to do certain things like updating media etc. But what else would I likely be faced with?

Thanks guys!

If you won’t be moderating or approving content, then essentially you will plan new features from user feedback and provide support/help to them.
