A good portrait artist can make a lot of money, once you have established a reputation.
I'm not sure whether or not the internet is the best way to market this sort of work; keep drawing, improving your skills, and build your portfolio, so you will be ready when you figure out the best way to market your work.
If you feel your work's already up to snuff, go ahead and post some and see how it goes. What have you got to lose? I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak, you should display your work at local art shows, get a booth at a local arts & craft fair, that sort of thing. Perhaps you could have some of your work hung up in a restaurant or coffee shop, and get some cards printed up to leave with them. There are many ways to get exposure for your art. Good luck!
