Suggestions to get my music noticed
 

Hey, i've been writing and producing for awhile now, but only ever showed it to my friends. Someone suggested that I try to get it out publicly but I have no idea how to even start.

Any suggestions?

Setup a website and use Google ads. Not only will you get revenue from the ads, you'd have an official webpage to store your music.

It all takes some investment in yourself, but...

Create high-quality recordings by means of studio time, or investing in your own equipment. Then get high quality visuals to go with them, whether it be album art, single art or a music video. Visuals are just as important these days as the music itself. Either make your own art, or hire someone to create for you. I can recomend some great gfx designers that I've had do work for me, or you can get something done pretty cheap on Fiverr. Then, upload videos to youtube, even if it's just the song and your cover art, upload it. Then share it with your friends, tell them to share it with their friends, etc. If it does well, start the distribution process. Start with online distro to iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay, etc. via Tunecore or CD Baby, then go physical with merch and CDs via Diskmakers or the like. From there it's all about finding what works for you and your core demographic. Some people sell well at shows, some people sell well online exclusively. It will take time, but if you are dedicated to your craft, you'll figure out what works.

I have hired someone to re do a website for me. I think it will help a ton. If I remember I will be to post and let you know how much it helped.

Get Dave Grohl to record your next album on his Custom Neve 8078 Console that he purchased from Studio A, at the former Sound City recording studio in California.
The Neve 8078 is currently in Grohls private studio.

This is very good advice. Also link up your own Facebook and Twitter page to reach the masses.
