Hi,
Firstly let me say I'm not judging, and I'm sorry for your situation. I can relate at least a little to what you've described. I got into web development because I kept getting injured working manual jobs due to some physical problems. Long story. Anyway, whta I'm about to say is about the genre in general, not you specifically. I get that you don't have a lot of options.
As for the file idea, you're going to have some backlash, if only because a lot of people have had bad experiences with so-called dommes just asking for endless handouts and convincing guys it's some kind of enjoyable domination. I mean, it's not a scam exactly. It's the guy's choice, and he bares responsibility for diving into something like this, but at the same time it leaves a bad taste in people's mouths to see these 'domme's have no problem taking endless large sums of money from guys, knowing they're likely bleeding people dry, and having no remorse for that, while also being too lazy to get an actual job. It's like 'give me money, cuz I'm a princess who needs spoiling and stuff...or something. Give me money'
Now I get this is not your situation, but I'm explaining why I think a lot of people are turned off by the genre. So many people just pressing the easy button on life without care, and perpetuating this attitude that someone is entitled to the world just because she/he is 'special' somehow, rather than actually working for it. I mean, I could make videos/hypnosis files all day long, talking about just how special I am and how I should get money, and nobody's going to give me a dime, because I'm not actually doing anything, yet a lot of guys are convinced they need to pay women like this because it's supposedly their only shot at being dominated, which tends to stem from the myth that women are only dominant if they get extra money out of it(I've heard this unfortunate thinking quite a lot)
My opinion is to reiterate what ProfessorPig said. Make files, and start a Patreon. After a time you'll start bringing in small amounts, and there's a potential for greater income down the road. Eventually if you're really good and have a quality sound setup, you might be able to start charging small amounts for files, especially if you have some that cater to people's needs they can't get elsewhere. I mean, I have some desired effects from hypnosis I would gladly pay people $10 a file for if I thought it would actually achieve my goals.
Best wishes, and I hope the problems you have are solved.
