You can get money from mining but the problem is that mining is not an avenue that can generate you instant cash within a day or two. Due to the current state of the crypto market and the crypto ecosystem, mining is now a long term investment venture. It will take you roughly three to six months to get a decent amount of profit from your initial capital used to setup the mining rigs and system.
I think that now you should not consider mining as a serious income. Now for this industry is very difficult times. Low cost cryptocurrency - make mining profitability low. I hope that in the future the situation will change for the better.
