I'm pretty sure that if your song really catches hold of someone's imagination, they will want to use them.

Social media pages are a good way of getting exposure.

Just make sure that you have copyrighted your songs. That way no one can steal them.

Thank you guys for the replies.It seems like the traditional music industry rules are the thing of the pass especially with streaming.
But I notice some songwriters charge a fee for their songs and still keep copyright and publishing. Is this a no no or is it acceptable in this day and age?

Welcome. Are you using Band in a Box in your recording process?

Songwriting, artists, and the brass ring. It sounds like most of the artists you know are not actually artists. Musical artists are driven with a passion for the music.

So the question is... can you post songs and still plug them. Yep. A great song is a great song and it doesn't matter who recorded it before or who's heard it. If the artist likes it, none of that matters. they can and will record it. Just look at the list of big names who covered songs done already by someone else.

Copyright? Unless you are writing killer songs, and likely have a few hits, no one is out there looking to steal your songs. If you've ever tried to get them to the hands of a nashville or LA based artist, you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say they don't even want to listen to your song let alone steal it.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
