...I have read some articles about mining and the different things you can do to actually get some money in profit, but none of the articles actually go into depth with how to actually do all these things. I was wondering if anyone in the forum could help me and make any suggestions to me.
You have a pinned topic at the top of this board:
[General] How to earn Bitcoins, where you can find additional details about the many ways to earn Bitcoins.
In my opinion, Bitcoin mining is not a viable option for individuals unless you are willing to invest significant resources in mining equipment and then spend a lot of time and money working on it. Yes, you can buy a cheap used GPU rigs or ASICs and start mining at home, but even then you have the problem of electricity consumption. The constant drain on your electric bill is the major obstacle for individuals. A more straightforward and cost-effective option is to use these funds to invest in Bitcoin directly. If you're looking for other ways of earning Bitcoin, you can do it in the same way as earning any other currencies; the best way is to provide value for other people and ask them for money in return.
