The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
Online Business Specific:
* Starting an Online Business For Dummies, 4th Edition by Greg Holden
* How to Start and Maintain A Successful Online Business by Kelly Thornton
* The Complete E-Commerce Book: Design, Build, and Maintain a Successful Web-Based Business by Janice Reynolds
California Specific:
* Small Business Start-up Kit for California by Peri Pakroo, Barbara Kate Repa
* How to Start a Business in California by Entrepreneur Press
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I believe that Bubble3 and Certaxrugby have given you some good advice. Choosing the right advertising vehicle for your business is dependent upon several factors: - your target audience - your budget - the number of people you are trying to reach - and the type of business you are in I agree with Bubbl3 in that you definitely should consider having your own business website. This is the first place that most consumers are going for information about a new product or service. If you go this route, THEN you might want to consider talking to DEX online yellow pages, Google or some other online advertising provider. But be sure to talk to several. Pricing and Conditions vary greatly from one media vendor to the next. Plus, you will get a better overall view of the marketing landscape if you speak with competing companies. If you have friends who use the Internet to market their products or services, try to get an idea of how much they are spending. Advertising in ANY medium isn't cheap, but you need to be wary that you don't invest your money poorly. Some advertisers think just because they are spending money on advertising that they are making a good investment. But remember, it all comes down the the four things I mentioned earlier. Good luck to you.

Compared to offline businesses, the investment required to start an online business is minimal. A popular way of earning money on the internet is by providing information and services. This can be monetised by advertising or charging a subscription. You can also make money online by selling products on auction websites like eBay or through your own website.
