Straddling paid SAAS and open source is a bit tricky and I still haven't figured it out completely yet. I have some sponsors as well as some paid saas clients but it's not quite paying the bills yet... I like working on it though, hopefully I can find the right balance or a different revenue model that works better.
My other problem is not only am I not good at marketing, I don't like doing it. But I also know it's the other half of the equation.
If you write about what it is that you're doing and keep a blog, that has been a very effective way for me to "market" the work that I'm doing without it sound scummy af. (I don't like feeling like a greasy used car salesman, and writing about developing stuff feels much more natural to me.)

It's open source (https://github.com/mark-when/markwhen) and there are some paid options for storing markwhen documents in the cloud.
