I was in a somewhat similar situation until recently, my MRR from selling cloud cost optimization products was around $300 and very hard to grow no matter what I tried.

I got out of it as soon as I realized that services (including a job, freelancing or even driving Uber) are much easier to sell than products.

The quality expectations per dollar for services are also much lower, so it's much easier to make a living out of it. Products are more scalable but way harder to sell.

I'm currently doing freelance work on someone else's product for 3-4h/day, and for the rest of the time I offer my own freelance cloud optimization services and building tooling to accelerate them, but no longer trying to make a living out of the tooling.

My tooling MRR has since increased to about $800, and my part time services are $7-8k, more than enough to pay my bills, and just got a couple of new cost optimization gigs that will add up ~5k on top of that.
