I think on average I am around 8$ or so a day these days.

I ve stopped upvoting myself so all is through support from others which is nice.

If you have absolutly no SP is probably the hardest but also most of the time you have not "proofen" yourself. Many came 2017 talked about how great it is and how they want to escape facebook. Not many of those around I would say.
I think if you have been around you will get noticed by the right people for you but it is defenitly harder and does not mean you get payouts which are "worth" it if you dont enjoy it at least a little bit
