* Get a site/blog up and link to it from the Chrome extension page.

* Extensions are hard to monetize - frictionless affiliate links and donations.

* Post it on social networks, make a press release and forward it to famous blogs citing the Korean viral effect it's had.

Nice! Thanks, hackerboos.

I set up a site http://instantmusicapp.com already and what you mentioned are exactly what I want to do, but don't know how. It went viral on both Facebook and Twitter in Korea, but not sure how I should make it happen in other countries too.

In addition to setting up a site/blog, immediately setup an email list that you send out updates to. You can then potentially offer a 'Pro' version of this extension and you will already have thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of potential customers.

That's a great idea actually. However, I think I am not allowed to monetize from it because of youtube's terms of service. For now, I just want as many people as possible to use this little extension and give me feedbacks. I am just happy to serve other people's needs of listening to music :)
