How do I start an online business?

I'd love to work from home as a

tarot-card reader, so my ques are:

1) Where do I get an

online business license?

2) Will Tarot-Readers always be in demand

(note: the craft was invented in the middle-ages)

3) How does one market online exactly?

What do you do on Facebook, Twitter etc.?

4) Would you agree: it's an ideal lifestyle?

I need 4 customers per day, working

on my laptop to earn a decent income.

[Note: I'm not a selfish person. I'm just

stuck in Los Angeles, where no one

can get away with a low-income salary.]

    I'll answer a few of these.

    You dont need a business license.  You may want an IRS federal tax id so you can deduct expenses against income.

    I don't think a tarot-card reader is a good online business.  I think people want a peronal face-to-face experience.

    I believe the way to market on Facebook is to set up your own group, and then continually offer people something small for free, where they are motivated to keep returning.  For example, if I were selling an exam preparation book, I would give away one free problem each week and invite people to answer it on Facebook.
