Hopefully you don't take this wrong, but you haven't succeeded because you haven't started anything.
In a short 5 years you list 13 things you have failed at. If you were serious you would have had time to fail at 1, maybe two, or at most 3 during this time if you were putting in the time and effort required to make something successful. It realistically takes 3-5 years to built a business and be able to write it off as a failure.
Where is the conviction, where is the drive, where is the perseverance?
What you have done is throw a bunch of shit at the wall, hopping something would stick, and when it falls to the floor calling it a failure and moving on. You can repeat this 100,000 times and the outcome is certainly going to be the same every single time.
This should be the FIRST lesson you learn. There are no short cuts, there are no get rich quick schemes.
Real businesses take tons of time, lots of efforts, and everyone on this board that has started one will tell you lots of really high highs and some terribly low lows...
Read some of the threads by @AllenCrawley, @Eskil, @biophase, @Iwokeup, just to name a few. Do you see a pattern here? These guys have busted there butts, for years. Fought through failures, persevered, and kept on moving.
For example 4 porn websites in 4 years. Why 4? I built websites and web apps. There is no way you have produced anything meaningful in that time period since none lasted longer than 1 year. Were any of these anything more than quick landing pages thrown up? What and how much effort did you put into promotion and marketing? What changed between the 4, anything besides the URL?
Same thing with your books. What experience do you have that people will value? How much time did you spend marketing these? Did you pay someone in the Philippines to write your "books" throw them on Amazon and just cross your fingers that someone would buy it? Look at serious authors, they spend enormous amounts of time researching, writing, and then promoting.
Look at MJ, smart guy with tons of valuable experience. How many books has he written. How much effort did he put into writing and editing. How much time did he put into promotion. BTW this whole forums acts as promotion for his book.
Get serious about something and stick with it. Find and bring value to the market.
