Something I always tell to new artists who want to start doing commission:
Advertise yourself!
Do artshares, make a pinned post w/ your commission info, put comms status in ur name!
Make sure ur art is easy to find (in your media tab) if possible!
Get that bread!

Itâs also nice to have a place where itâs easy to find previous samples of your work:
moments collection on twitter
archive sites like Insta and tumblr
a portfolio site with a gallery
an online queue list like trello
invoicing is also advised
a terms of service

Also if your clients donât come to you, then you have to go find them.

Also remember, even if itâs uncomfortable and taxing to do:
Be nice and professional.
Youâre selling yourself as much as your art and what you can do!
Clients need to know they can work with you in the long term!
