I have a background in internet marketing and SEO so if you want to do this later and need some advice, I would be happy to lend a hand

What would I put on there anyway? I would need a band first to do it right, but I don't know who those people would be. I've already promoted my music via Facebook and SoundCloud. I'm not sure how adding a video is going to help at this point. The best I could do by myself is sort of play guitar along with the singing, but that wouldn't showcase myself with my actual instrument nor would it be better than the full demos I have. Am I supposed to be giving lessons/master classes via YouTube? I never quite understood how that was supposed to be used. I tried it once and YouTube deleted everything and shut down my account.
Anyway, I turned down the paid gig because I didn't feel right turning down the gig I already committed to. I'm going to lose out on money because I try to be a "good" person…sigh.
