What kinds of songs have you written?  Are you interested in selling
lyrics, music, recordings, or some combination of these?  In what
country and area of the country do you live?  These and other details
might be helpful to a Researcher who works on your question.

The songs are most up tempo Country rock and some ballads.
I'm interessted to "sell"/give the songs for artist who need songs for
their CD's.
These are songs written for my band in Norway but I'm interested to
give them a "shot" for artists with record deals.  Not only in Norway
but worldwide.

I live in the middle of Norway. But the songs can be posted in mp3,
wav or whatever.

Hello Geiwill.  I've compiled a list of some companies that can help
you to license and sell your music. These are companies that will list
your music and offer it publically to other artists, television and
film producers, ad agencies and other parties that might be
interested.

In most cases I've linked directly to the relevant
submission/information page, although I would suggest looking around
their sites before submitting anything. I wish the very best in
selling your music! If you need further information please use the
'clarify answer' option before rating this answer. Thanks.
