Outbound is easy. Just open a channel to any node on the network. Nodes may have a policy to not allow channels below a certain size, etc. Your channel create should fail with some error message if this is the case.

Since you pay zero fees when paying another node you have a channel with, it makes a lot of sense to open a channel to a node who you already do business with. Perhaps an exchange, custodial wallet, the stacker news node, etc.
