In my experience, you don't make money by selling support unless you are 
a large company selling support for a large project or a wide array of 
projects. The people that will use your library will mostly be 
developers and not end-users, after all.

To make money from things you develop, I think you need to take your 
library and either build an application that has wide appeal and sell 
that, or sell yourself as a custom developer that can build the 
application the customer needs, using the tools you are comfortable 
with. You can then build in the cost of developing your library that you 
will reuse for the custom applications.
