These days, composers never make money from publishing their compositions... There simply isn't a market for contemporary compositions, unless the composer is already widely known.

You can still publish your own works, just don't expect too much money from it...

One last word of caution: Whatever you do, DON'T just post your music on the internet, and NEVER give a copy of your music to a complete stranger (unless he bought a copy from you, of-course). You don't want anybody to steal your work.

Here's an idea.  Play your compositions frequently around others that play.  In a music store, wherever.  If they hear it and it's good, they will want to buy it.  People will catch on faster than if they just looked at the sheet music.  You could also try to get your local music store to sell if for you, for a profit to you of course.  Just be careful they don't make copies of it and cut you out!  :o
