asking advice on releasing a record

hey, if you could list the top eleven or so most important pieces of advice for a new music artist wanting to make a record, regarding navigating the music business, what would you say?

Thanks!

Give it away - everywhere.

Youtube videos

Set yourself up as an 'opening' act if U can

Merchandise - ballcaps, t-shirts

Collaborate with as many other bands/musicians as possible

Publicity - reviews/interviews, even if U set them up yourself, youtube, local rags, social rags...

Be patient
