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.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start and Run a Successful Consulting Business by Gregory F. Kishel, Patricia Gunter Kishel
* The Consultant's Quick Start Guide: An Action Plan for Your First Year in Business by Elaine Biech
* Getting Started in Consulting, Second Edition by Alan Weiss
* Successful Independent Consulting: Turn Your Career Experience into a Consulting Business by Douglas Florzak
* The Consultant's Manual: A Complete Guide to Building a Successful Consulting Practice by Thomas L. Greenbaum
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!

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.

Really, you only need as much as what it would cost to put up a professional web site. Forget the cheap hosts, too. You need something that provides all the tools, but won't require you to have to learn html.
Take a look at the site below. If you want to know more about how I created it, take a look at the "Work at Home" page. It will give you more information and a link to start your own site.
