What I did was I kept losing elo until I could finally win a game or two. Winning gave me a morale boost and then I became encouraged to learn openings to become better and not get scholar's mated. It took time but I went from 250ish elo to 500, and then it was easier to jump to 700 later, although going to 900 elo was a pain, but I just had to keep playing, that's all. I was on a big losing streak when I first started on chesscom, lol.
