With the current cost of living issues most people are having and cutting back on non-essential spending, you will really need to push the visibility of your work on social media.
Try and find a niche to exploit that’s not over-saturated and be realistic with your pricing. If you identify a niche, maybe reach out to popular/highly visible members of that community and offer to do custom avatar/banner work.
Maybe after you raise the visibility of your work, offer a heavily discounted limited time promotion or something.
