If you keep it open source a common model is not to make money off of the code directly but to provide service, support, and consultation around it.

Payment for access to expanded and more powerful feature sets offered under a different license model is very common.

Similarly you can contract to build specific features, possibly under a different license open or closed.

If you do any contract work or engage with licensing changes I highly recommend you work with a lawyer. Guessing or going by "legal vibes" in this space adds unnecessary risk.
