I am just starting up myself.
I mean, I've had a whitehat HubPages account that I get paid for regularly ($30-40 a month at the moment). I suppose I can't say that I'm starting with $0 though, since I just bought ScrapeBox.
I haven't actually done a whole lot though. I'm messing around with things, learning, while I figure out where I belong. I'm currently building a dummy Pinterest the account with the Pinprofit multiplier somebody shared, I've created my own bot using AutoIT that is automating the follow-unfollow method..and I have an autoblog using WPRobot that is just running on it's own..I don't know if it'll ever make money, but it's a learning experience.
I have no doubt success is possible here - it's simply a matter of "finding oneself" I think.
Having too many methods in your head, difficulty sticking to one method..pretty much sounds like me. I have adult ADD (31 yrs old) so that's normal..but I'm trying to use that to my advantage...not having all my eggs in one basket, ya know?
