Man I honestly feel like I'm in the same exact boat as you.
It's terrifying because you know deep down that you have to do this or you're going to live your whole life in mediocrity as a side walker so you get motivated for a bit to then discover that you have no idea what to do and get discouraged even more and more.
Sorry for rambling on but this is how I feel right now as I am also trying to get into E-commerce.

Well,
Nothing much useful to post except stating that I realized I am a true sidewalker. I understand I am burning forum's storage space with my shit... W.e. It helps me get over my problems and maybe someone else could relate.
Whatever, shit will get better. Burned through my budget really fast. $100 remaining (only because I got it from ads that were running on my games for over few years now).
Out of few dozen Upwork applications I got only 1 job so far. That's better than nothing, and considering the tendency with Upwork's clients wanting native english speakers who could professionally write copy for their product descriptions at a whopping $1-5 budget, it feels ridiculous.
W.e I am just tired of this shit. Lessons learned so far:
- Pull back your ego and stay humble.
- Learn as much as possible and be genuinely interested in the work.
- I am not trying hard enough to get clients and not doing my diligence proving to them the value of great copy. Probably I am not that skilled enough
Overall achievements so far: $60 Upwork + $75 direct through Paypal. Got myself into trading time for dollars, but at least I am building my vocabulary and some other things.
I think it's time to move on, soon.
Money's gonna end soon. Dark times are coming, so let's brighten them up.
