How to Start Writing Commissions?

[WhiteFur]

Ok, so my dad is like: "Hey, here's a challenge: for 2023, since both you and your sister are good writers. You will compete to see who earns the most from writing commissions. Here's the rules: you must use a website that offers transactions on that website without using a third-party software or whatever. It's commissions only as well. Good luck!'

Me: "*unenthusiastically* Great."

Anyways, I'm basically asking for advice on how to set it all up. I did find a web that offers transactions on-site without using some third-party software or whatever, but other than that, I have no idea on how I should begin. There isn't much advice on how to get the ball rolling ya know? So does anybody with any experience on commissions have any tips for me to get started (like commission sheets, advertising, and whatnot)?

Thanks,
WhiteFur

P.S. I'm not advertising for commissions! I just want tips on how to get started, that's all mate.

Daddy wouldn't be happening to be demanding a cut now, will he? -_-;

You could always consider writing e-books and self publishing.

I'm not much help, I'm afraid. The closest thing to a commission that I have written were a couple of custom greeting card messages, for a friend. They took me out for dinner and drinks, in payment.

After having spent two hours time chatting with a proffessional ghost writer, face to face, I decided that writing stories for other people was just too much stress.
