I have been trying but with no success(I'm not the stalky, pushy, self promoting kind, I just sometimes put on my story on insta that my commissions are open), what should I do?

I recently got commissioned by someone on this website called artists and clients! I can dm you a link, but basically artists can post slots for commissions with prices and all, make discounts when they want and there’s a category for clients who have create “jobs” and are seeking artists:0 I do reccomend you try this!

•there's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, artists need to eat too. I can dm you a discord server made specifically for commissions if you're interested

•Actively search for people that post that they are looking for an artist. Try to get into advertising groups. Buyers won’t come to you unless you’ve got a super huge following, so you gotta seek them out yourself.

Promoting yourself is vital! And so is being patient and persistent. You of course don't have to be obnoxious with your promotion, just make sure you do it somewhat often, AND be very clear about all the information (prices, what you can make, how you accept payments, etc.) Posting about it on your story every now and then is good, but I'd also suggest making a feed post. And wanting money is normal, everyone needs money, so there should be no shame in trying to sell your art! Good luck, I hope you get commissioned soon! But also if you don't, don't give up, if you keep trying, it'll happen eventually :)
