hi ! First you have to get rid of the idea that FOSS means "free of cost". Practical world revolves around money.
So have a proper organisation and let people pay nominal amount and subscribe. Have plans like a) Free support through forums and groups b) Paid subscription for e-mail support from an expert group c) Paid subscription for phone support . c) Paid services for onsite visits from volunteers. It can be like e-lance ( online bidding) etc which will enable FOSS professional to serve the people and also make money.
