How I can improve my product and earn money from it?
I programmed a RSS feed reader for Windows 10 and published on the Windows Store for global availability. Users can download it for free from the store. Now the app crossed 5K downloads. This is one of my few other apps available on Windows Store.
It'll be very helpful for me if Indie Hackers try it and give me suggestions on how I can improve it and monetize from it. For a while I placed Ads on it but I earned nothing, so removed.
Indie Hackers can download it from the below link

Thanks in advance.
A good model seems to be that you make a few of the features available for the free version and create a set of features that are usable in a premium version of the app.
The only catch is that you have to make the free version also valuable for a set of users however if somebody wants to increase their productivity they can use the premium features.
Thank you for your valuable advice, it is true for every product and I'll keep it in my mind for every product I have and the products I'll create.
You can either wait for the number of active users (not only downloads) to increase and then try to sell the ads by yourself, not just by placing some third-party code in the articles.
If this is not an option for you, you probably need to start another product and use this one to prove that you are a credible founder / maker / indie hacker.
Thank you for valuable advice. Can you please explain me this line -"try to sell the ads by yourself" I really like to learn about it.

Between 10-20 users daily. I should wait for the number to grow and focus on a new product.
