How Do I Sell My Song?

The short answer to the first question is "You don't want to sell outright, a song you have written." Under the United States copyright laws, you are entitled to a royalty each time your song is used for commercial purposes. If you were to sell the song, you would be agreeing to accept one payment, and would forfeit all future earnings. A person who would take advantage of you in such a fashion would be highly unethical. The industry is full of stories about the bad old days, when people would take advantage of a writer's poverty and/or ignorance by buying a song.
