If I give my work away, why would anyone pay me for it?

Lots of reasons.

Someone might want rights that are not granted by the license. The
Attribution-ShareAlike license requires that anyone who uses your work
in their piece (ad, movie, etc) must release that piece under an
identical license. Commercial entities wishing to use your work
(advertising agencies, movie studios) are very likely to want to
retain full copyright of their commerical product. To do so, they must
contact you to obtain permission, and you are free to charge them
whatever you wish and they are willing to pay.

Someone may want an ongoing relationship with you and your work. For
instance, if your work becomes valuable to a record label, it is in
their best interest to give you a share of the proceeds and motivate
you to keep making and releasing new work, and to keep you from
signing an exclusive contract with someone else. Also, someone may
want you to do additional work for them, to perform or make a personal
appearance, or to modify the work for them in some specific way.

And of course good packaging, marketing, and convenience often
motivate people to buy things they could otherwise get for free (think
bottled water). There's no reason not to sell your CC licensed work on
CDs. If you don't have a label, check out the wonderful CD Baby.

Ballon is a nice piece!
