For about a 4 month period between December 2013 and March 2014, I was active in uploading mostly instrumentals to Audiosparx, maybe 30-40 pieces overall, and am still getting Paypal deposits from them though they're much smaller ones now, and not four times a year, anymore. I've probably netted a couple grand or so off the pieces, over the years.

1) Create different mixes of different lengths for each piece you upload. Audiosparx seems geared towards "background music" for podcasts, radio, tv, and the likes (this was the case a decade ago, maybe that's changed), and someone might be shopping for something at a specific length, or might like a certain song, but need an instrumental version of it.

2) Write enthusiatic "blurbies" for every piece you upload and add copious "sounds like" tags. A word you use might be what a shopper might "search" for when looking for a piece.

3) Read through and make sure you choose a contract you like. Some contracts don't permit you to use a song you upload anywhere else, so be careful.

4) Don't expect to get rich, but I imagine if I had continued in my uploading endeavors I could be getting that couple grand every quarter or at least every year, instead of the tailing-off, piddly little amount it is these days.
