- How do you know what you're doing is right?
(since the feedback you get is never consistent)
I know what I'm doing is right because I'm getting better results overall compared to when I was doing different stuff. I'd imagine the feedback you're getting isn't consistent if you're not completely congruent with the material you deliver, for example not actually believing yourself to have the higher value that you demonstrate. Sometimes it's just a matter of practicing and developing genuine confidence in your material. If that's the case then invest more effort in getting out and practicing more.
If you posess any doubts or inhibitions, if you don't commit yourself 100% into the pickup discipline, of course the feedback you get won't be consistent. Just like giving any live performance, this isn't something you can half-ass just to "try out" or something. Pickup is a commitment to real life-changing transformation. If you follow that path, you'll eventually start getting consistent feedback.

- any tips of building a social circle from scratch?
(especially when you aren't so new to the area, and you don't have a good rep - since I'm young there's some restrictions and limitations when it comes to where I get to meet people)
What exactly do you mean by "don't have a good rep?" There's a differnce between not being known and being known in a negative way.
Last year, before I could get into most bars and clubs without paying expensive unofficial "cover" prices, I went to almost every Fraternity party I could go to. My school has rush during the second semester, so all Fraternities hold a bunch of parties and are really nice to freshmen for the entirety of the first semester. Just going to parties wasn't enough to become known, of course. You actually have to have fun, be extroverted, and spread good feeling at these parties to make a name for yourself. Of course, I guess this advice specifically applies to Tulane University, though.
The main thing to do to build a social circle is to constantly make friends. Be curious about people; make casual conversations with strangers and make them feel good. That's pretty much the broad-strokes, first-step approach. After you do this simple stuff, you're going to want to hunt down a specific kind of person often reffered to as "bridge." These are the people with a massive number of connections, the most social of the social butterflies, and always knows about what's going on in the social scene. You want to become close to these kinds of people after you invest enough in-field practive to become almost as or just as emotionally intelligent as they are. If you happen to meet a bridge who's a girl, DON'T FUCK HER. Instead, become her best friend.

When you go fishing, you don't eat your bait, right?
Since you're a guy, you don't have to be so afraid of negative publicity. Unfortunately for women, what other people say about them can often be deathly important. Fortunately for us, the case is usually "any publicity is good publicity." If women hear your name spoken of in a bad light, the higher quality ones will want to find out the truth for themselves. So... go crazy.
Also, if you haven't already asked this question to Mr. Entourage Game himself, I suggest you shoot this question to Adam Lyons.

- When you started out, I'm guessing you had to do it alone.. if you did, you got any advice?
You're right. When I started out, I was just learning about attraction from David Deangelo's material on my own. Since it WAS David D's stuff, though, the concept of a wingman hadn't even crossed my mind. Ever tried sarging with a guy who knew only DYD stuff? It totally sucked, didn't it?
If you're starting off alone, it's EASIER to focus on the Inner Game and attribution-focused material in the dense library of material in the seduction community rather adhering to Outer Game methods of the cold approach. However, maybe you're the type of guy who wants to grow faster by challenging yourself. Maybe you won't settle for EASY by indulging in your comfort zone. If this is you, grab your bigass balls and sarge by yourself.
