    I guess the first thing to be sure of is that your business will be viable and profitable.

    In order to do that, yoiu have to probe the market : geography, what kind of product do you sell etc.

    Your question is kind of obscure... let us know a little bit more about your business and what you have in mind... We will be able to help you with more accuracy.

    Best,

    I am selling an e-book on a health product. There is a free e-book to offer but I would like to know the ideal way to use this free e-book in order to draw people to be interested in the following books to sell.

    Hi,

    It depends what kind of business you want to run really.

    I suppose it's a website selling good or services:

    Major things to consider are:
    Front end design
    Back end design
    Payment methods

    However before all of this you should have an idea of how you want to brand it, a name and preferably a logo.

    Thanks
    Hugo

    Of course you should try to consider if your product will attract buyers. Then compose a good business plan and a marketing strategy. The the website and platform you are going to use. etc.,

    The most important thing which you should consider is that if you will be able to deliver product online and it should be relevant.
