I, too, am on cdbaby. They are very helpful and so easy to deal with.

Purchase the Indie Bible - available all over the internet for about $20 - a listing of print, radio, and internet sites that may be interested in their music.

I also use Sonic Bids Electronic Press Kit - EPK - for $50/year and about 20 minutes you create an email-able press kit with bio, photos, clips, press reviews, calendar, etc. And be sure to have a website.

One of my favorite tips from Derek Silvers at CDBaby: take a photo of your audience from the stage and announce you will post it on your website (give them the address). Everyone there will spend the next several days sending their friends to your site.
