I have been learning flash 8 and am wondering if it is feasible to expect to make any sort of income selling banners and headers.Do designers mostly sell these on forums or do they set up their own web site?

I think you need to have a website with a nice portfolio.
You can then try to get graphic design jobs from freelance websites or on webmaster forums where there is such a big demand.
Best of luck.
