@ the helpmypixels website.
You hardly have any content on the website.The best content you do have (the icons imo) is hidden behind an almost laughable $0.25 fee wall. Why do you even want $0.25 for them?
You'll pay all of that to paypal for the transaction.You'd be better off to just flesh out the icons, pack them up nice and promote just the icons for free. sort of like famfamfam and their silk icons.
offer them FREE for non-commercial use, some nominal fee for commercial use -- but make it EASY to buy.
Giving away free (and promoting them), will help spread your service organically by a the community, charging for commerical use hopefully pays off in the end as once icons are in a project, they can be difficult to switch out.
That said, the money you make is probably going to be in proportion to the time you invest. You can bang out some icons in a day, not promote the collection very much, and maybe make a couple of bucks, or you can dedicate a great deal of time to marketing some icons/website/whatever that you poured your blood sweat and tears into, and maybe earn a decent wage if your product is good.
