💰 Get paid while contributing to Open Source

Several ways to earn money while contributing to open source projects are outlined. Options include negotiating with your current employer to contribute during work hours, open-sourcing internal company projects, leveraging enterprise relationships through hosting or premium support (like Redis), and using platforms like GitHub Sponsors or Open Collective for direct donations with zero fees. Indirect benefits such as career opportunities from visibility are also mentioned. A note of caution is included about the pressure that comes with being paid for what was once a passion project.
