(1) How do I get a publishing deal?

(4) Should I copyright all of my songs?
(5) How do I get paid royalties?
(6) Do I need to join a PRO (Performance Rights Organization)?
(7) Where can I learn about proper lyric/song structure?
(8) How much does a decent demo cost?
(9) Which organizations, such as TAXI, SongU, NSAI, etc. are most helpful for a newbie?
(10) Are songwriting contests really as good as they claim to be?
Brian, you didn't ask for the BEST or most helpful questions...you asked for the MOST COMMON questions for newbies. There are probably more beneficial or informative questions to be asked, but that's not what you asked for. The ones I listed above are the ones most commonly asked of me and/or which I have heard/read asked of others.
Hope this helps a little.
