Your electronic library
The Paper is dead. It's all electronic now. So it's your library.
Since we live in the Internet age, google everything you need to know. Then you should bookmark the pages so you can access them later, and make sure you've an account in your browser so that if something happens to your PC, you can access your bookmarks on another PC.
Backups
You need to back up your data to restore it in a disaster (such as hardware failure, theft, etc.).
First, you should make sure you use a service like OneDrive or Google Drive. They automatically store your essential folders and files in the cloud. These services offer a lot of storage for free. Also, use a backup tool to back up your other important data to an external hard drive or network drive. An excellent free tool is FBackup (it saves the data in a ZIP file so that it can be opened by many unpacking programs and encrypted with a password).
Your website
You need a website to be successful in your business.
It's an advertising, marketing, and trading tool where you can inform about your products and services, show your portfolio and sell.
It's also a place where you allow your potential customers to contact you, where you can display all the links to your social networks and where you might keep a blog with articles (which are indexed by Google and bring you traffic to your website).
Equipment
Real-world items you'll need for your work include furniture and technical equipment.
Of course, you'll need a desk and a chair, but you probably already have that. And an office, but you can also work from home, so you don't have to spend a dime!
Your products and services
Of course, you need a product or service to sell.
Since this is an online business, you want to sell electronic products or services that you can deliver electronically.
Your products might be audiobooks on a very knowledgeable topic (you can sell them on Audible at https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Books-and-Originals/b?ie=UTF8&node=18145289011, for example).
The name of your company
You start by finding a good name for your business.
A good name doesn't necessarily have to describe your products or services. You can choose one that does, but that's usually a bad idea.
