Build a Salary with
GitHub Sponsors
GitHub Sponsors is an incredible way to fund your Open Source but most Open Source developers are not getting the most out of it.
Getting people to sponsor you is hard
Struggling to get more people to sponsor you for the work you do on Open Source is a very common problem among Open Source Developers.
Your users already trust you
People are already using what you built for free and they are trusting you.
Software
You write the software they use
Documentation
You write the documentation they read
Support
You solve the problems and questions they have
Releasing educational content for my open source work allowed me to grow my GitHub Sponsors from $40k to $100k/yr in just a few months. It's a win-win: the community gets help/education using my projects, and I get to work on them full-time, giving them the attention they deserve.
Create posts only for your Sponsors
Nobody knows your software better than yourself. Teaching something you are passionate about makes the difference.
Articles
Transform the problems you face or answer into teaching content that will drive even more people into your Open Source project.
Videos
Video courses have shown to be major source of income for teachers. It does require some learning to get them right but developers will trust your content because you know the software better.
