Why should I talk about my commissions on social media even if I don't have one to show right now?

Talking about commissions—especially if you’re open to receiving them—is a powerful way to generate revenue. Many potential buyers don’t know you offer commissions unless you tell them. Create a reel explaining that you accept commissions, then share the story of a recent one (or a past one). Use it as a narrative to show what’s possible. Being loud and clear about offering commissions attracts clients who want custom work.
