First, write a song and shoot a quick video about the desire to treat your fans with respect, and upload it ASAP to YouTube.
Once the "MUST DO" deadline comes up, kick that serfdom YouTube contract to the curb and don't look back.
Set up shop on VIMEO or DailyMotion, monetize as able.

[1] Proud to be independent, distributed and listened to worldwide, and even if that only means I've made $14 in income from my music in the past two years, the music reaching people is my goal.

YMMV.
