If you are looking for an additional outlet for your music and a chance for supplementary income, you may want to contact publishers and ask if you can submit your music to them for possible representation. Most publishers have contacts that request material from them on a regular basis. If a publisher signs you, it will be another opportunity for you to be heard, and possibly recorded, by other artists.  Use the same contact procedures you will use for distributors, radio, record companies, managers, etc.

(If you are a really good player, and you think you can get a great take in a couple of tries, you might want to consider offering your services for hire to recording studios in your area. This may be another way for you to generate additional income.)

Additionally, sign up to be an affiliate for someone who’s product cross markets yours.  Additional income if you work it. You can’t just place an ad there and hope it sells. Most

likely it won’t. You will have to give notice to your audience that the product is there. When you have their link on your page, put a _blank target associated to the link so that another web browser pops up and your original page is still there for them when they are done.
