Did you actually make any money by trading?

Okay so, I am thinking of doing trading to make money and i am literally at 0 when it comes to knowledge about trading, i was searching more about trading in yt and Google but many people say that it's a scam and people shouldn't get into this, whereas I have a cousin who earns well by just trading. So if any of you guys are full time traders or just traders who are in this since a long time, can you share your journey and if you actually made the desired money or not? And if yes, then should I learn and develop the art of reading or not?
