If you don't fancy live stuff, then film and upload your material. I upload to about 10 different sites (funnyordie.co.uk and.com, dailymotion, YouTube, myspace, facebook, booyippee, yobi, sure there were a couple more..)
Comedy Following Page 2
For the aspiring comedian who is too shy to perform, might I suggest that you (as I did) take up Postal Comedy? It's along the same lines as Postal Chess. Every week I send my carefully selected "audience member" an envelope containing a slip of paper with one of my gags written upon it; they then reply in kind by sending an envelope containing a slip of paper with their reaction, e.g. 'Guffaw', 'Chuckle', 'Groan', 'Silence', 'Boo!' etc.
Although a five minute set can take several months to complete, I find this to be the most civilising form of stand-up comedy. An added advantage of this method is that one's correspondent and oneself can exchange photographs of each other's genitalia as a tantalising sideline. Happy comedy and best of luck!
Very good.

I tried that: sent it out to one person and got five letters from strangers containing heckles.

Sweet, thank you all for your ideas. But at the moment, I am just wanting to get people reading my stuff just to see how that goes down. If ya'll happen to pass by and have a read feel free to leave some feed back, it seems that I am getting a good amount of views a day but no one is leaving comments or what not. So im writing blind as it were...

Welcome to the club.

Here's my advice. I've set it to music to make it more memorable:
Fanny talk, keep talkin' fanny talk.
Talk about things we like to hear.
You got to be obscene,
If you won't be obscene
How you gonna kickstart your career?
Talk about the way you style your pubic hair
How it shows your fanny off a treat.
Talk about the day you shaved your fanny bare.
That will make our happiness complete.
Fanny talk, keep talkin' fanny talk.
Etc, etc.

Don't you have a GIF for that?

Yes, but can't be bothered to go searching for it.
You won't get a comedy following with that attitude!
