    You could make a www.soundcloud.com a http://bandcamp.com/ and a www.soundclick.com
    profile and then make an artist/group facebook account and a twitter account with your music
    name and start promoting your tracks to get listened to , first from family and friends and then
    on friendly forums like on here where you can trade likes & follows with other fellow members
    and exchange thoughts on each others tracks. This is a beginner phase to get your tracks out
    there and see reactions and get feedback

    Beyond that , and if you are more interested in promotion and marketing there are plenty of
    tutorials floating around the place about the music business and self-promotion or promotion
    with the help of a manager or a record label through Beatport etc etc

    Here are a couple of tutorials that come to mind , mind you i cant suggest whether they are good or not since i havent watched or read any , but might be useful

    Video Tutorials
    FaderPro - Digital Distribution of Music
    Lynda.com - An Insiders Guide to Todays Music Biz
    Lynda.com - Facebook for Musicians and Bands
    Lynda.com - YouTube for Musicians and Bands
    Skillfeed - Master Soundcloud Get More Fans and More Music Sales
    Udemy - Complete Guide How to Promote Your Music Online and Offline
    Udemy - How To Start a Record Label & Make Money With Your Music (for Beatport i guess)
    Udemy - How to Start a Music Record Label in 30 days (for Beatport again)
    Udemy - Music Licensing Make Money and Get Placements in TV & Film
    Udemy - YouTube Marketing Mastery For Artists & Musicians

    Some books you can find in .pdf too

    Thank you! I think the books can be more useful because Im not trying to promote myself but just my compositions
