I do generally get a few commissioners when I'm open, but when I first started I charged next to nothing for my work. I needed to build up some clients and examples of what my work is like. Then you just slowly go with the momentum. Raise your prices when you think it'll be generally accepted and make sure you do your best work.



For Etsy it's the same deal. Also be patient and as open and honest as you can. Make sure you and your commissioner are clear on everything.
