Companies are much more likely to sponsor you if they can get even just their logo and a link somewhere adjacent to your thing
It doesn't need to be logistically complicated or over-engineered, and you can totally set your terms as you like
You can use GitHub sponsors for this - I've done that with somewhat moderate success
A great recent example: @valorin.bsky.social has spent time planning and discussing options with his peers and created a page on his site with all his sponsorship details

Don't overthink it; just do it!
