You did the minimum in terms of effort, you spent a few bucks, you lost it and now you are asking random clowns for "advice". If you don't have a plan, don't have goals, don't have benchmarks and have no idea if you're moving forward or backward, no one can give you meaningful advice to achieve a particular goal.

You will fail. That's obvious. Failng to plan is planning to fail. You do random things, you'll be disappointed each time, you'll fumble around and ultimately declare the industry and those in it are to blame.
