How to promote my music online?

[Jinseng]

Im making music and Im having a very hard time getting more popular in order to get noticed more.
This is my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/jinsengmusic
And soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/jinseng

Should i send links on facebook, twittter, etc? How else could i promote the music I make? Especially on youtube

Dude, by far the best way to promote yourself is to get onto soundcloud, it's a very famous site for up and coming artists, plus tons of pros use it too.

I worked for a music promotion company/ club for a while and they taught us that Facebook and Twitter are some of the most popular and powerful tools for musicians. The idea is for you to create an artist page and then Google how to hack Facebook to max out requests (there is a max amount you can do per action, but there are apps and ways around it), and request literally every friend you have to like your page. Then start adding random people that you don't know and get them to listen to your stuff as well, getting them to like your page as well.

YouTube is a decent marketing tool, but you really need to get on the Soundcloud and social media scheme.
