To run for president, you have to set up an organization and raise funds. You have to either have national name recognition or else hold some major office in state or federal government or else form your own organization. In order to have any real chance of being elected you have to be nominated by one of the two major parties. The first step here is the primary elections. You have to get on the ballot and run a campaign at least in places where you think you will do well. It helps greatly if you gain the support of some of the political powers ( e.g. governors, senators, Congressmen, big city mayors and rich power brokers ) in the primary states, You have to win a substantial number of the early primaries. If you do, you will attract more money and more support and your opposition will start dropping out. If you are really successful in the primaries, you may wrap so many committed delegates that all of your opposition drops out. Otherwise, you and your supporters will have to fight it out in the National Convention. Here is where the support of the professional politicians becomes really important.
