Why can’t I get much takers for commissions? :(

I really hate to annoy y’all with yet another commission-related vent journal, but I’m honestly at a major loss by now…
What am I doing wrong?
It seems no matter what I try and do, practically nobody ever seems to so much as respond in my commission journals, let alone ask for any slots…
I don’t know if I’m complaining too much about this, or if my art really isn’t worth paying for after all, or even if I’m somehow a little too strict on the rules for most people, but I really don’t want to just rely on a few select friends on Discord…
So please, if anyone wants to share some advice or would actually like to get some slots from me after all, I would very much appreciate it…

I mostly use my phone camera for traditional stuff and directly from my PC pics for digital stuff.
I tried a scanner for my PC once but it just blurred out practically the whole pic.
For coloring, best I can describe it is to try and color darker or denser. Looking at your PFP, I can see you go kinda light on coloring. Try taking more time to make sure the lines in your coloring are closer together. Don't press hard or anything, but do try to make it darker to compensate for the scanner. If the color is still too washed out, darken more and attempt another scan. And cross-hatching is good for not only shading, but making your colors less washed out when you scan.
Some tutorials on cross-hatching. https://paintbasket.com/cross-hatch.....for-beginners/
I take it not having enough money on their part is part of the problem, too?
