I too have tried many places and internet sites where one can supposedly make money 95% of the time and I threw it all away.
but the 5% for me that has been very good and fruitful is steemit, hive and Leo finance because if they are real sites where one can earn money from the internet without scams without referrals, only and exclusively with the intelligence that one has and creativity.
And I can recommend to all the new ones that just like you say, they read and investigate a lot.

This is the great part about it. You can succeed soley based on the work you are willing to put into your account and reputation. Even if you don't write you can earn from the comments section and there are always competitions to help you grow. It's all about the hustle but that is what makes it fun.
I started my journey by reading a few articles that led me to hive so it's up to us to keep that trend going and educate more people.
