Here's a tip from an old songwriter:

What genre are you? What artists in that genre go to outside material? Who manges them? Call the label. Go to a gig. Work it. Find out what publishers they've worked with (credits on on the records themselves of course).

If you write country you come to Nashville. It's a whole 'nother set of skills you'll need. Punk rock is another crowd obviously and so on. Do some research, find out who the hot writers and producers are. Figure out what makes them great and elevate your game.

Those are just some ideas early on a Sat. off the top of my head.
