ignore the instant money, find something that you are happy to write about and do a little bit each day.
with time, your rep will grow, more people will gravitate to your site and your income will slowly grow.

like all crypto, the value swings violently, earn now, cash in when the value climbs.
You are still a young fellow, with plenty of time to amass some money.
in between times you can meet some, hopefully, interesting people and learn about others lives, interests etc.
like the building of Rome, it didn't happen overnight, but look at it now.
