Port forwarding of Raspi without router

Question

Let me first tell the complete setup:

I have a laptop that connects to the internet by a mobile hotspot connection.
I share that connection with Ethernet, and connect the Raspberry Pi with ethernet to use the internet.
I already did setup a local apache server, that is accessible over the local network.

Now what I want is to make that server global (accessible over the internet)

Every website uses the router method, but I do not have a router. Kindly Help! It is a big project and I do cannot let it fail!

Thank You. :)

If you have a link to a description or even an image of your hotspot device, that would be helpful. — Bex, Nov 21 '16 at 9:25

In my experience, your port forwarding should be set on your mobile. Nothing needs to be done on you pi.

Download port forwarding app from app store and open port 80 with your IP – Sean83 Nov 21 '16 at 9:23

@Sean83 If you're trying to build yourself a reputation, write better answers. I checked a few last answers you wrote, and they were all either one-liners, clarification questions to the OP, or both. – Dmitry Grigoryev Nov 21 '16 at 9:42
