That's a great story Nite. Sounds like you and your misses are doing great.

I'm not sure how your story lines up with what I was saying or Marc's points.

You were not doing any music for ten years. Even your friend of 7 years didn't know you did any music when out of the blue he gives you an opportunity to produce some music. It came about while sitting alongside the pool drinking a few beers. Now you are an "Internet Musician"
I'm not sure how that fits with "getting yourself out there".

Am I missing something?

As for Marc's posts? I think Marc has a great system of reaching and helping folks move along on the business of music.
He knows of what he speaks.
I personally have no illusions of ever making it "big" in the business of songwriting.
I would like to meet a few like minded folks who would like to get together and play songs and write together.
One problem I have is performance anxiety. I don't do well in large crowds or around strangers. I prefer smaller groups and groups where I know the folks. That makes it difficult to develop relationships.

This point, or question, of "what can you offer them" is interesting.
I get the feeling that if you don't have a cut or some name recognition you are going to have a hard time getting together with anyone who has any talent to speak of. If they already have contacts and can write decent songs why do they need me?
I was approached by one person to get together. The person couldn't write, couldn't play, and my cat sings better.
So I guess it's true. If I don't have anything you want why write with me?
