What are some tips for developing an art style and getting commissions?

I start college next fall and opened an Etsy store to make some money to help cover tuition (digital media major), but I want to work on opening commissions to help pay and develop a portfolio before I go. Also if you have any tips on getting your art seen I'd really appreciate it.
