You haven't really tried everything if you "don't want to hire sales people or a marketing firm of any kind." This might be a self limiting belief.

You can learn by hiring someone / paying someone for a limited time. You can learn what they do, and then use that knowledge to set up systems and processes. Once you have a process, you can pay others like a VA to execute it for you at a lower cost than your time is worth and gain back that time to do higher leverage things.

If your product is making $30k a month, you can afford to experiment with some amount of that, say $2k a month, for a few months, then switch it up. You will learn. If you could spend $2k a month on a sales person or marketing firm which resulted in you making an additional $3k a month, why wouldn't you?
