In this internet age especially, it's necessary for a voice-over artist to have a good online presence. One of the many ways I keep myself out there in cyberspace is to put demos up on various sites that all link to each other. Voices.com is a pay site that also offers free registration which allows you to have a demo on their site on your very own webpage.
With free registration you can't be contacted for work through Voices, but none-the-less, it's yet another way for a voice over artist to self-promote. If you sign up for a membership it's around $40 per month or about $300 for the Premium Membership. It's definitely a good one to be signed up for to give yourself that extra online visibility.
If you want to give it a go, do so at your own peril. Professional voice artists with decades of experience and full home-studios are your competition. Even if you do bring your 'A-Game', you may never book. My advice is to use it as a learning experience, not a money making venture. With a home studio, your main goal should be to produce good works and lots of them. If you happen to make money as a sideline to your passion, so much the better. Frequent auditions will give you the much needed studio time, not to mention tons of voice practice!
