Some open source contributors do Patreon. They get support by donation from others so that they can put more time on contributions. Maybe not much income at the beginning, but you could try.
Unfortunatly its not currently possible for openSUSE to pay contributors
without them either working for or being contracted by SUSE, which would
probably need some kind of business plan etc as currently there are very
few people being paid specifically to work on openSUSE related tasks,
much of it is done by community members or SUSE employee's part time /
on the side / in there spare time
Cheers
