Does anyone know how to market yourself like if you want to sell something you have designed?

Does anyone know how to market yourself like if you want to sell something you have designed? While I have been having to fight for disability due to a bunch of health problems I have been trying to use my graphic design skills to try and do some business in order to earn some money as I can only work a small part-time job and I am worried about income. I put up posters advertising my work and have used social media and while people like my work no one is interested. Any advice?

    Read marketing books. Try selling your designs on etsy if it’s meant to be direct to customers. Learn about running Facebook and google ads.

    I think you should create your self brand. It means that in social media you have to talk about your life, how you create your designs etc. People always like to follow someone's life and then they will be interested in your works

    I like this idea as it's free marketing and allows for other potential revenue streams like sponsorships and ads on top of graphic design work.
