My first foray into macro was a reversing ring on my old 50mm lens. I loved it that much I now have a Nikon Z 105mm f2.8 S Macro and Laowa 100mm f2.8 2X Macro lens for my Z8. It's a great genre of photography as you get to see stuff that isn't easily seen any other way
Another economical macro-photography trial might be done with close-up lenses; you get them with the appropriate filter-size of your lens and just screw them on. But these also come in cheap versions and higher quality (=more expensive) ones. But in the end: nothing beats the quality of a dedicated macro lens :-)
In fact, no. Yes, you can improve magnification, but at the price of horrendous vignetting. Those pictures are terrible. Unfortunately, if you want professional results it costs money.

Oh yeah, I forgot about reversing rings! I had one of those for my old film SLR. crazy shallow DOF though
