You need to clarify the 4-5K per month, its being assumed it's US Dollars.

If it were Rupees or Yen then I'd get your point and suggest you sell the revenue source. But do it in a way that works as a double win. Find a development shop that will take you on part time and buy the tool. You'll get a lump sum and a steady job, they'll get a proven money maker and motivated employee.

This is one of those nice problems to have.

In the mean time, get community member(s) to be a bug triager and forum voice. Communicate through them.

4-5k a month is more than enough to make a hire. Think of it this way: What is your time worth to you? Would you rather work your ass off and make 5k, or have a sane workload, make 2k for a while, which then rises as you have adequate internal infrastructure to support growing sales and users? It sounds like you have a good thing going, and I'd strongly recommend at looking to get another pair of hands involved - or…

I would like to apologise for my bad advice. Do nothing. Continue struggling. I cannot tell you anything unless you clarify what currency you are earning in. My sincere apologies for wasting your time.

It is USD, I thought it was fair to assume so I didn't reply.
