You may not be getting much response because not very many people have started a one-person company :\
But it is a good question and commenters should give their experiences or opinions anyway.
I would say I really prefer very "high-touch" sales, I think it's worth it, it's your first customer and you both are at a point where you can make more out of a working relationship by building the relationship itself in a unique way even if you are selling a standard product. So the more you put into it can pay off better, even if you won't be able to give as much attention to following customers or clients.
Share the tool on HN, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc.
Charge $x per month.
