There are dozens of easier, and better tasting meringue cookies out there. If you really need help, try looking up a recipe on youtube. Apparently a lot of the steps that are required for perfect macarons are totally bunk (like leaving them out for a half hour to dry out the top so the feet will form while baking - you don't need to do that, or rotate the pans halfway through baking unless your oven is heating patchy)
The only crucial parts are the measurements of ingredients and the macaronage.

The biggest problem is that there seems to be thousands of recipes with different ratios. You also need to use a weight and measure precisely. Also you got to find good almond flour. Use old egg whites too.
read multiple recipes and try to identify the common threads. Really the only thing it takes is mistakes and practice.
Many things that change the outcome are entirely circumstantial and it requires a developed intuition
