Why did you originally build this product? Was it something you personally needed or were you helping someone else solve their problem?

Market to the people that have those same problems.

Regarding monetization, it's difficult to build features that people will pay for if you don't know why and how they're using your product.

It doesn't seem like the translation feature (however cool it may be - props for building it) is something that people have a need for...same with the other features such as teams/groups. What if your current users are primarily solo social media content creators?

Some final thoughts: - Where are your 10-20 signups coming from and how did they find you? Ads/social media/organic search? - Collect information during sign-up such as: personal or business? industry? etc. - Might even be worth manually going through your 1,500 emails and manually researching users. I'm sure you can at least identify a handful of users via LinkedIn, etc.
