My advice to you:
The days or making money from selling music are coming to an end.
Instead, take the complete opposite approach and get those tunes anywhere you can, spotify, youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp, official.fm etc for free.Money from music comes from licensing nowadays or live shows.
An established musician with a big following has different levels of fans, the highest level of fan (I don't like the term superfan) will pay money for the big wooden limited edition box of re-mastered edits from 30 years ago.
The causal fan, will buy a couple of tunes every now and then.
and then there's the new ears that could become your fans, you need LOTS of these before you reach someone that will pay for your tunes, so make sure you have a lot of music available for those ears before you consider selling tunes.
10 years ago this was different, but these days, EVERYONE MAKES MUSIC, so theres A LOT OF CONTENT COMING FROM ALL OVER, yes most of it is crap, but also A LOT OF IT IS REALLY GOOD TOO.
