play a ****load of live shows, make sure you have cd's for sale so people have something tangible that they can let their friends listen to. your best friends are your fans and you should treat them that way... i don't mean write music to cater for them. hire/find someone who is a whiz at internet blogging and marketing. get a good manager that can get you gigs so you can focus on making good music while they take care of all the business stuff. know all the laws about distributing and licensing, maybe try getting your music in an indie movie. spread your music far and wide. if it's good it's bound to be picked up.
