Starting a DevRel advisory business is exciting and straightforward with open-source tools. This guide covers setting up a website using Vercel, the Astro framework, Web3Forms for contact forms, Cal.com for scheduling calls, and Mirotalk for real-time communication. These tools facilitate a quick and efficient online presence, leveraging the benefits of open-source software.

Start your own (side) business with open-source in mind

It is really cool to see that open source is more and more front of mind. It already was , of course, but the growth seems to be accelerating

I like this write up. I’d love to see this kind of write up to include more aspects of business. Maybe I’ll take this on - build a map of open source applications that help support a side project business…

Hey, your article is excellent! It’s like a bible for dummies like me! Know, I am a Jr web programmer with only three years of experience and 44 years of life! I was wondering, following your excellent presentation: “could it be possible to set up/create a consulting business for small businesses”?
I mean, I would like to teach the stores / street businesses, who ignore the use of GOOGLE-MAPS (business card), ignore the power of social networks and ignore the escalation in sales of an e-commerce and the craziest thing, they ignore the administration of a CRM! Here where I live (Uruguay), I still disbelieve in the digitalization of traditional businesses.
Do you think you can help me with the roadmap, through OPEN SOURCE solutions to be able to provide solutions to this market niche?

So basically this article is about how to build a website using AI and some open source tools. I would dare to say title is misleading because it has nothing to do with side-business you can use the same “tutorial” to build a flower shop webpage.

Wow, this is a very nice approach to starting a business online, I will try it.
