Does your internet connection setup involve a router? Then you'll need to do something called "port forwarding" so that outsiders can access your server on your computer. Port forwarding isn't something we can help you with... there's literally hundreds of different routers and the step-by-step instructions differ for each of them. But the basic idea is you type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser's address bar (that is probably the local IP address of your router). Then you need to dig through your router settings until you see something that says "port forwarding" and tell it to open port 7777 for Terraria. Then set up your server and friends should be able to join.

Also if you are using the Hamachi software to host the server, then obviously your friends also need to have it and the relevant information to access the server.
