You actually dont know if the song had hook on top and bottom of chorus, when written, all you hear is what Aldean and his team did to it.

But pitching is pretty much dead. The only shot you have is to make a damn near record quality recording, and perform it yourself, and hope it gets noticed online.

As far as money, even legendary performers dont make much on recordings any ore, its all free. They still make it performing live..

Even if you managed to write a massive hit, where is the money gonna come from?

Grab your acoustic and play your stuff live. You will make approximately a 100 bucks a night, and you might get a few claps. You can then direct them people to your site.

The internet is so cluttered, i think playing live has a backwards effect now. Go where other people aint
