What are the rules for using experimental aircraft for commercial purposes?

Depends on the certification of the Experimental. If it's certified
Experimental Amateur-Built, commercial operations are prohibited.

Actually, when I think of it, the prohibition is actually against
operations "for hire." You can use an experimental amateur-built to
support your own business. One of the members of the Fly Baby club used
the airplane to deliver insurance checks, and you can use the plane to
shoot photographs from. But you can't hire it out, nor carry passengers or
cargo for compensation.
