Phen pretty much summed it all up right there. Another thing to consider too, realistically, is that some people's work is just preferred over others. Someone may rather listen a track from someone who they already know what to expect, rather than someone new. This is the same reason you don't walk in music stores and just pick up any ol CD. You go for what you know. Solution to your problem? Get known. I'll leave that "get known" portion for you to figure out on your own.
