I think you might get some interesting advice on this subject from Marc Gunn of the Brobdingnagian Bards. In my opinion, he is the MASTER of of online promotion. If there is a venue of promotion available, he knows about it. Webpages, podcasts, newsletters, blogs… you name it… he does it.
I know he could give you some great advice about making a living doing this, because he and his partner Andrew are actually living the dream. =o) They do house parties, tours and stuff like that to support themselves too, but their promotion is amazing.
The last time Marc was in town, I gave him your name and told him to check out your music. I even sang a little of Skullcrusher mountain for him.
Anyway, their site is: http://www.thebards.net/
Marc’s email is: Marc@thebards.net
He is a SUPER nice guy and I’m sure he’d be happy to speak with you.
