Don't get me wrong but a lot of the time people make tracks thinking they rule majorly and, well, in reality... =P It happens to the best of us. Give it some time, listen to it a lot. Make sure you really like how it is.

It's easy to get your songs on vinyl, just take a copy of your song on CD to somewhere that presses vinyls and dub plates, and then you can get it pressed onto white label. Though i wouldn't advise it as it is not cheap at all.
If you really want it on vinyl though for personal use get it pressed onto dub plate, even that is not cheap though, prices are from about £30 upwards.

Well first thing you need to do is make 2-4 more good tracks. Then build yourself a promotion pack with a CD containing 3-5 songs (NO MORE) and send the pack out to labels and people you think could get your tracks released. Although the easiest way is to just know someone that "in" with the labels or runs a label and get them to help you out. Good luck!

yeah do it..... include a contact details and get feedback from djs, see what they think it would take to make your track rock the floor, or alternatively, they might even play it themselves: you never know!
drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

remeber though that youll only get about 15 plays out of her so it would be better for promotion rather than personal use

the best thing to do is make a dubplate.
Mix it yourself at a party. That's the best way to promote both your mixing and producing skills. If you don't mix yet, send it out to a DJ that you think will play it. Make sure to copyright it first though. Making a dubplate isn't that expensive...
I work in a mastering company. We do dubplates for 50 euros.
Now, if you're really convinced your track is really good. You can go a bit further and press a couple hundred copies. To do that, you need to make a mastering (master copy), then press a dozen test samples. The press shop send thoses out to you. If you like em and the quality is good, then go ahead and press 500 copies.
We do the whole deal for about 1500 euros. That includes, the mastering, all packaging, the 500 presses, and two out of four colors on the quadrant with a blank sleeve.
Don't forget the copyright! That way no one steals it from ya
