Finishing my first album (mm valentine) I'd love your advice!

Evening Ernie Ball family,
I've just finished my first album, it's instrumental guitar rock with a hint of film soundtrack scores.
The entire thing was recorded with the mm valentine and Luke iii,

I'd love to get thoughts from any smaller artists with launching music.

At the moment I'm thinking iTunes, Amazon and google play but only available to purchase. No free streaming on Spotify or Apple Music, there will be a free youtube stream however. But I've read a lot of research about how if money is spent on anything (an app, music etc) people are more likely to listen to the whole thing in order to unconsciously justify the purchase.

This is certainly not a money making venture but I really want people to listen to the album from start to finish, what are your thoughts?
