If that's the case and you know you can get another job, go for it. The only thing I question is quiting to do something "new". I think you would be better off if you did what you already know works and put your full effort into that until you are profitable.

I honestly don't think it's wise to give up known income on something that's un-tested. I'd build up what you already have and then try the new stuff. Also I wouldn't quit your other job untill you had a few $k coming in montly from the net.
