I think that how you market yourself depends on what kind of music you're making. You should definitely not sell yourself out, but at the end of the day you are crafting and selling a product. Make it the best product you possibly can, and if you're good, someone will be more than willing to pay for it. On the other hand, if you don't ask for any money, people will probably view you differently, and maybe not for the better.
