An Indian friend was similarly frustrated because he tried hard over time but got no results (read: money) online. I told him to use ebay.in and look for something that he would love to have but would cost only a few Rupees, e.g. 60~70 (roughly $1). When he selects such an item or two, he should work online at whatever he feels he can, and earn that $, and then buy the item. In a week he bought 2 such items doing article writing. Actually it took him some more days to get the money in his bank through PP after earning it within a week!
Then I asked him to increase the goals: this time he should select something that costs $3~4 worth (approx. Rs. 250~300 value). He did that too within a week plus another 4-5 days after getting money in his bank-- writing articles, again! He did the same three or four times within the next month or so.
Then.... goal: Rs 500+... within a month he achieved it (just one case though this time). But he purchased a good saree (a kind of Indian dress, for ladies) for his mom. Then he kept doing it, earning similar amounts every month. He had found his first real niche -- articles writing.
He is now earning a lot more in 3-4 niches, but is still writing articles, a skill which he discovered he possessed, and which had helped him begin a career, gather confidence, and consistent online income.
Point: Set smaller easier goals and achieve them first. Then keep at it without any distractions. Once you taste success, you can diversify into other harder things... may be, what you're now with, isn't really your baby! i.e., may be you're in a wrong niche...
