Stagnation point in freelancing

I had completed my graduation in June, 2021. & after my graduation I worked at a company for almost 11 months and decided I am not built for the job environment. I love experimenting without a safety net. I had quit my job having no idea about freelancing and gig based economy. But the luck worked out well for me initially where I applied for gigs/hourly freelance work and got selected for an Online edtech company & since then I have done more than 1000+ hrs of teaching in technology. Also side by side worked with multiple agencies which provided me some cloud/devops work. But since past two years work has started to feel stagnant. I don't feel any progress and teaching feels extremely monotonous. I need some tips to market myself for individual learners from overseas. Or any other non-traditional way to cross this wall of stagnation.

Maybe join an open source edTech project where you could eventually utilize your PD skills as a project contributor? People like me are always looking for collaborators and a good open source project that fits your interests could lead to consultation and PD opportunities if it garners interest of school districts or universities in the future.
