1. First, you'll need an excellent website to do the same. Look for some vendors who can help you out in getting you a site up. Lot of factors need to be considered and be precise on providing the requirements. Like whether you'll be hosting it on your own servers or will be doing it on a rented server, How many concurrent users do you expect initially and what will be the peak load and things like that. Vendor will be able to provide you specific directions. Second is marketing. Try placing banner ad's in leading websites like rediff, yahoo india, sify, etc. This will get you customers. Might take a long time to get the business, but of course as Indian it department itself moving to on-line now and people able to do it without Accountant help, so have specific target and also clear on why people have to choose you.
