"I hired some interns, they were really talented, but in the end, I didn't want them to work with me because I didn't want them to develop a web app in return for a couple of hundred dollars. Because that would be unfair." My suggestion is to halt thinking on these lines. Even your clients would come to you because their value-perception of the output of your work (web app) would far exceed the money they pay you. That's what you would do with anyone you hire -- the value-perception of the output given by them (e.g. building the webapp) would far exceed the money you pay them. This is how businesses earn profit. If everyone paid their employees exactly what they themselves would be charging the customers, companies wouldn't earn profits.
