In the description, he will be able to see how much he will earn if he completes the task. It is worth noting that the user will be able to withdraw money for the Steam project after he has earned 100 units of internal currency (richiki). If he manages to collect this amount, then to withdraw he needs to go to the appropriate section and select the Steam image in it.

Have you accumulated hundreds of skins in CS:GO? Are there a ton of trading cards on Steam? You can make money with these things! To do this, you don’t have to leave your computer and be distracted from your favorite game for a long time - on the contrary, the process will become even more exciting. In this article we will look at how to make money on Steam.
All types of earnings on Steam can be divided into five groups:
And before we move on to analyzing each option, a little background information.
Steam is both playground, And online service. Here gamers compete in various popular cyber disciplines, such as Dota 2 and CS: GO, and buy almost any licensed PC games and some programs.
The service is visited daily by more than 10 million people. With such a large audience, it can be used not only for entertainment, but also for earning money.
Only unlike regular market What is sold here is not tomatoes and cucumbers, not jeans and T-shirts, but very specific products: gifts, trading cards, skins, capsules with stickers for CS, profile backgrounds, emoticons, gems, etc. This, and more, is where many users make money.
If you are not connected in any way with Steam and computer games, you will have to invest both money and time in this service. Moreover, there is much more of the latter. Let's figure out how to install the service and activate your account.
1. Go to the official website of the gaming community: http://store.steampowered.com/?l=russian
2. Click the “Download Steam” button at the top.
3. Click “Install” on the next page.
4. The standard installer will download to your computer. Let's launch it and follow simple instructions inside.
5. Launch the program. Click “Create a new account.”
6. We go through registration, which also consists of several simple steps: creating a nickname and password, confirming your email address and phone number.
So, a Steam account has been created, but that’s not all. The service does not activate the account until $5 is credited to it. This is a threshold for entry that leaves not the poor, but the scammers outside the gates.
Five bucks can be spent in two ways:
It’s better to just deposit money into your wallet; it will come in handy in the future. After this, the account will be activated, but some functions will still be unavailable - more on that later.
There are several ways to transfer money to a Steam virtual wallet:
In the first case it is necessary:
Let's also consider the method of transferring funds through Steam.
1. Launch a gaming service.
2. Click on the button with the account name at the top right and select “About account”.
3. Click “Top up balance”.
4. Select one of several proposed amounts and click “Top up balance”. $5 is, if anything, approximately 304 rubles, so 300 rubles may not be enough to activate your account.
5. Decide on the payment method and transfer the money to your Steam wallet.
In the window with options for wallet replenishment amounts, there is also a “Wallet or Gift Card Code” button.
It may be useful in the future when making money through sites with tasks.
Trading items is the most common method of making money on Steam. There are a lot of different in-game and in-service items here. They can be divided into three groups:
Trading cards on Steam are items that drop from certain games. To get them you just need to play. Cards provide experience to the user as they collect them into badges. However, there is a catch: you can only “knock out” three or four cards yourself; the remaining two or three must be purchased or exchanged for the badge. This is where business begins.
Common cards cost up to ten rubles, but there are also many rare ones whose price is over a hundred. Foil Cards stand apart - cards with a metal rim. They fall out extremely rarely, which means they usually cost higher.
Cards can only be obtained in certain games. However, there are a lot of them, and it won’t be difficult to find.
1. Click “Store”.
2. Click on the search line, do not enter anything there and press “Enter”.
3. On the side, find the “By characteristics” filter and check the “Collectible cards” box.
The search will bring up all the games through which you can get cards.
Skins are external shells for objects in games. The modified weapon will not shoot better, and the character will not run faster, but other gamers will envy the beautiful appearance. Skins also drop out randomly in games, but the conditions for their drop are more complicated and there are many more of them. But some of them can cost more than $1000.
The greatest demand and highest price for skins are in CS: GO and Dota 2. Therefore, most sellers specialize in these two games. In others, prices are usually lower.
You can view and compare prices for items as follows.
1. Place the cursor on the “Community” drop-down menu and select “Marketplace”.
2. In the menu on the right, select the game that interests us.
Note: it is more convenient to do these things in the browser. In the Steam application, you cannot open many tabs, and you will have to navigate through them frequently.
There are many more collectible items that can also be sold and exchanged:
Among them all there are those that cost less than a dollar, and those whose cost reaches thousands of bucks.
Let's figure out how to trade these sets of pixels.
Let's start on the condition that we have just registered in the service. This means that before you make your first money on the Steam trading platform, you need to wait 30 days. This amount of time must pass from the moment of the first purchase to gain full access to the market.
First, we buy games so that this period begins to count down. However, you need to know what to buy. Not all toys are suitable for collecting cards. We need those whose cost is less than the total cost of the cards. For example, a game costs 20 rubles, and several dropped cards can be sold for 30 or 40 rubles.
You can find such games using this site: steam.tools/cards/. The algorithm is as follows:
1. Go to the Steam store. We set the “Games” and “Trading Cards” filters, as well as sorting by ascending price (it’s better to do this in the browser, not through the application).
2. Open a website with a table of games.
3. We compare the price of the game with the approximate cost of the card (Card Avg column in the table). Based on this, we buy the cheapest games with cards as expensive as possible.
To get started, just purchase a few games to spend the $5 required for activation. The main thing is that the total cost of the cards exceeds the cost of the game.
Now these 30 days can be spent usefully - knocking out cards from games. It is not at all necessary to knock them out yourself - then you will have to spend 8–10 hours playing each game. Many programs have been created for this purpose, the most convenient and proven: Idle Master.
1. We go to the office. utility website: steamidlemaster.com. Click the “Download now” button.
2. The archive that we are unpacking will be downloaded.
3. Launch IdleMaster.exe. The program will require you to log into your Steam account to continue working - click “Sign in”.
5. In the settings, select “Run each game separately.”
6. Let's launch. We wait while the utility checks each game in turn.
Approximately three to seven cards can fall out of the game. Through simple mathematical calculations we get: the sum of the cards is greater than the cost of the game - we are in the black. You will be especially lucky if you get a Foil Card.
They can cost several times more than regular ones and come out very rarely. However, if you constantly farm like this (to farm is to perform actions in games to obtain benefits: increase the level, earn money, points, items), then you will definitely be lucky - the probability increases.
Things are more complicated with cards that cost 50 rubles or more: you have to buy them on the trading platform. It is necessary to guess the moment when the price of such an item will be at a minimum level. If there are fewer than ten cards, their prices begin to rise very quickly. Everything here is as it is stock exchange- sometimes you have to wait a couple of months to successfully sell such a card.
Conditions ensuring successful purchase on the rare card market:
If the 30-day period has passed and you have access to the store, you can buy cards at automatic mode. Steam Trader Helper will help with this. The utility is a browser extension. In it we just need to set what we want to buy and the purchase price. She will automatically start purchasing it on the Steam market.
Installation
2. Select the “Settings” section.
3. In the “Connections” section, link your account to Steam.
4. Find the required video on the portal.
Now, when watching match streams, even in the background, you will have a chance to get some free items and then possibly earn money on them on Steam. The chance is low and depends on how many people are watching the stream. With 50,000 viewers, about 1,000 item chests drop per game. Of these, 10–15 are really valuable. On forums, players sometimes boast about receiving a souvenir worth 2,000 rubles.
Operations are campaigns in CS: GO that must be completed online. They consist of several missions. At the end of each mission, the player can receive a skin.
Sometimes these are extremely rare skins, the cost of which is more than several thousand rubles. Each operation must be purchased. They cost about 400 rubles, so they don’t always “pay off”, although real gamers don’t care much about this.
In CS: GO and Dota 2, it is possible to create weapons and some other items yourself. To do this, you also need to collect various things in the game and make modified skins based on them. In addition to collecting, using the Steam Workshop, you can generally make unique weapon skins and various modifications.
In Counter Strike: Global Offensive, weapon skins are divided into several types:
No, your AK-47 won't shoot better or worse because it's battle-hardened or freshly fired. Only the cosmetic component undergoes changes. However, such differences in skins also lead to differences in prices, and the different condition of the gun affects crafting recipes.
Crafting in Contra is the combination of several types of weapons to obtain one, rarer one. Rarity is determined by the color of the inscription, here they are all in ascending order:
Accordingly, we use white trunks for crafting - we get light blue ones. The opportunity to craft something appears in the game's inventory after ten guns of the same rarity level have been collected. The opportunity will come in the form of an exchange contract - a separate item in unlimited quantity.
1. Open an exchange contract.
2. Select ten types of weapons.
3. Click the “Exchange” button.
4. Leave your autograph.
5. Click “Submit”.
After this, instead of ten, you will receive one new weapon.
Crafting blindly is not very profitable. Fortunately, many sites have recipes for successful crafting that allow you to get truly rare things. But the authors of the posts warn: the player himself is responsible for crafting. The probability of getting the barrel promised in the recipe is 60–70%. In other cases, you can be left with a much less rare weapon. Here are a couple of pages with recipes:
Advice: first check the cost of the item you receive and the total cost of items for crafting, so as not to take risks for the sake of going into the red.
Weapons can be improved by 1.5, 2, 5, 10 times. Accordingly, the price will increase by the same amount. This is done on a special website: https://upgrade.gg/.
The controls are extremely simple (don't forget to log in to Steam):
After this, you will either receive a new, more expensive weapon, or be left without the one you wanted to improve. The way to earn money is quite good and allows you to increase their value several times with a large number of cheap items. The main thing is a certain amount of luck.
This method can be very profitable. At the same time, it’s easier to understand than selling cards and other items. The whole point comes down to the fact that the user simply purchases games at discounts. When a large number of games have accumulated, the account can be sold, allowing another gamer to save on buying games, and making money himself.
This way of earning money requires financial investments and time. There is little point in buying games for 15 rubles that no one will need later. It’s better to make a list of good games and, following it, buy, for example, shooters, RPGs or the entire GTA series and its clones. You will have to spend at least 1000 rubles. The more you invest, the greater the benefit. There are players who received from 1000 rubles to 5000-6000.
If finances allow, it is convenient to maintain several such accounts at once in order to grow the amount two to three times more in one period. Moreover, if you accumulate a lot of games on your account, not everyone will be able to buy it later.
It is better to buy toys during major sales. These take place in mid-summer, autumn and before the New Year. At this time, in addition to the general price reduction, various promotions may be carried out, for example, a strong discount for just one day. You need to seize the moment.
At first glance, this method of filling your account with games is the most profitable. Keys are sets of characters, after entering which in Steam (shown in the picture above) the game is obtained. They are cheaper than the games themselves if you buy them through the service. However, there are many scammers among merchants: they can slip in a key that does not work or gives access to the wrong game. Therefore, looking for a good site with keys is always a risk.
Anyone who likes to play computer games has long been familiar with such a project as STEAM. Because It is he who offers to fully enjoy your favorite game online, where real people will act as allies or opponents.
The project is really very good, and is very popular among gamers, because... contains a huge database of games that you can play online. But in order to connect to this or that game, you need to buy license keys, which actually upsets many. But you shouldn’t become limp, because... There are alternative ways to solve this issue.
I’ll say right away that hacking Steam is unrealistic, you don’t even have to think about it, and even if you succeed, it won’t be very pleasant. Besides, I don’t even know why to resort to such a solution to the issue, because there are a number of ways that really make it possible to get money for STEAM for free, and legally.

I'll tell you how to make money on Steam.
There are a number of ways to make money online, with which it is not difficult to make money on Steam, in addition, there are special services where you will earn a special currency, which will later be converted into Steam money.
Perhaps, let's start with special services where the currency you earn can be withdrawn directly to Steam:
These 4 services are ideal for those who do not have electronic wallets, or those who simply do not want to create them. On them you have to perform simple tasks, for which you will receive a special project currency. On WASD it is called “Richiki”, and on CoinsUp - “Coins” (on others in their own way). Both are easily and simply converted at a certain rate and transferred to your Steam account.
In order to exchange “Richiki” in the WASD service for Steam money, you need to go to the “Output” section, and then sort the display of games by the letter of the alphabet we need (in our case, you need to select the letter “S”):
and complete the output.
On CoinsUP, sending money to Steam is done in the same way, only instead of the “Withdraw” section, you will need to click the “Spend” button, which is located under the “Coins” balance.
It is very good to make money on these services using Android or iOS devices, because... For them there are well-paid tasks related to downloading and installing various games and programs.
Considering that you can deposit money on Steam using , I’ll tell you which projects are easiest to earn this currency on:
As you can see, on these sites, all the work consists of completing tasks. This is the simplest one, which is not too labor-intensive, but also quite well paid. So absolutely any of you can take on it, and what you earn will first need to be withdrawn to WebMoney, and then transferred to your Steam.
On these exchanges, you will need to perform paid social activities. In most cases, they can be: joining VKontakte groups or Odnoklassniki communities, subscribing to Twitter accounts, adding friends on any social network, and of course putting likes somewhere.
You can withdraw the proceeds from all these actions to an electronic wallet, and then with its help you can top up your balance on Steam.
Of course, in this article, I have not described all the options, but if you wish, you can find all the others in the “” section.

Steam is a program that distributes computer games and programs from Valve. It combines the capabilities of a downloader, an authorizer, has a platform for an online community and updates installed content from Valve and its partners who distribute their products through Steam. To activate the program, you need to download it from the Internet and install it on your computer, then register.
The trading platform allows you to buy and sell various items between other participants of the platform. At their core, all trading platforms can be called exchanges. All in-game transactions are made using a Steam wallet; to activate, you just need to deposit money into it.
You can also purchase games from this wallet. One of the biggest international exchanges is SteamTrades (steamtrades.com). It’s very easy to start, just create a topic and display your product in it. But it has a couple of requirements that must be met. They are aimed primarily at the safety of exchange participants.
Steammoney– one of the largest Russian-language trading platforms. The entire process of this site is automated. That is, it automatically looks at the inventory in your Steam profile and all you have to do is indicate the prices for your product.
First, you need to decide what you want to do: trading - selling things and all kinds of attributes for games or gifting - selling games directly. Also, you need to decide for yourself on which trading platform the transactions will be made. This can be a regional platform or an international one.
If we consider trading and gifting in detail, we can distinguish the following types of earnings:
It’s worth noting right away that this method of earning money is illegal, in accordance with the rules of Steam. But in fact, such transactions can be made, since it is impossible to track such transactions. The point is that you have a Steam account with a good history of playing on it and other people are interested in it.
In this case, it can be sold entirely at a wholesale price. It’s not difficult to create such an account; Steam constantly runs promotions that allow you to purchase games with discounts of up to 75%. So, over time, you can accumulate a decent collection of games, which in the future can be sold in bulk, at a price slightly less total value these games.
This method is unpleasant because it requires significant investment from the user to purchase games. But on the Internet you can find many resources offering money for completing certain tasks. In this way you can earn money to buy games.
The essence of this method, in fact, does not differ from the previous method; there are promotions or events in games when you can buy a certain item or set (set of items) at a discount. The difference is that items and sets can be earned randomly in Dota2 or CS:GO.
The subtlety of this method of earning money is that you need to understand the quality of the items. Their novelty and rarity are taken into account. This data can be viewed in the Steam store for popular items. If you are going to resell items, then this method is suitable (using Dota2 as an example).
It is not necessary to buy the entire set; you can purchase a separate item from it by viewing its market value in advance. Next you need to make this item unique, Inscribed, using painted runes. To insert a rune, you need space in the item for it. To do this you will need a tool, it is called an Artificer’s Chisel, popularly a chisel (it can be used several times). Runes can be either purchased or simply obtained during the game.
Once the runes are inserted, the item becomes unique and increases in value. But if you want a simpler method, then engage in regular resale. Popular items can change their price several times a day, and you can make money on these jumps. But this method requires quick action and an understanding of the things you are going to buy or sell.
The easiest way to make money on Steam. To do this, just keep an eye on the annual discounts on cards, namely on cards marked: Today`s Deals, Weeklong Deals, Other Sales. Trading cards will bring you:
The good thing about this method is that you don’t have to buy cards; you can get them when you purchase a specific item or game.
This method requires significant financial investments, since you will need to buy games. The essence of this method comes down to the fact that in steam there is such a thing as regional policy, according to which some games are not available for certain regions. But I want to play them. Therefore, you can find an overseas player who wants to purchase a game that is available in your region, but not available from him.
The disadvantage of this way of making money is that some games are only available in certain regions and will not work in other countries. Such games always have a note about this.
Can be divided into two ways:
This method is similar to the previous one, with the only difference being that you need to view popular games and wait for promotional discounts on them. Wait until the promotion ends and put this game on the trading platform cheaper than in the Steam store.
It’s difficult to say the exact amount of how much you can earn; it all depends on what you do. It’s worth noting right away that earning a large amount of money on trading Steam platforms It’s impossible, otherwise they would be very popular. Moreover, with the growth of the content offered on Steam, the number of users also grows, therefore, the competition of traders is also growing.
There are no direct withdrawal methods from Steam, but we will look at three known methods:
Everything is extremely simple, in the Steam store, you buy items for the amount you want to withdraw. Then you sell them on the trading platform, from where you can withdraw money to QIWI or WebMoney.
The problem is that:
Minimum for withdrawal is 700 rubles. Commission for the first withdrawal is 34%, subsequent withdrawals – 31%.
To produce the output:
This method is similar to the first. You sell items on the marketplace, only for real money. People who want to buy and sell items for real money must be found in the “donation” tabs. There is a risk that you will be deceived, so you can conduct the transaction through a guarantor intermediary, but this will also cost from 15 to 30% of the transaction amount.
To briefly summarize, it is worth saying that this is not a way with which you can earn large sums.
But still, if you decide to do this, then adhere to three principles:
Hello friends! Today we will talk about how to make money on Steam. Although it is unlikely that you will be able to generate significant income in the field, it will be enough to buy new games. What options are at your disposal?
If you want to get money on Steam, then the main source of funds will be trading. And for your activity to be successful, understand the intricacies: there are many who want to receive finance, but only persistent experts achieve success.
Steam is a popular platform for gamers. Those get the opportunity to compete or purchase new PC products. Offered and free games, but their choice is limited. To reduce costs, use a special trading platform developed by the creators of the service.
There are more than 10 million players on it every day, so the sale of specific goods and services is brisk. But you will need to study the demand and find out what skins, emoticons or gifts to offer to customers.
New to Steam? Registration is quick and does not require much effort.
In a few minutes the program will install and you will be able to play or make purchases. But you will also have to take care of access to the trading platform. It is limited to avoid the influx of scammers. To gain access, top up your account with $5 or buy multiple games. You can transfer money through terminals or directly into the system, indicating the payment card number. Full access to the market will be given 30 days after the 1st purchase.
You can use a WebMoney wallet or transfer funds from Visa or MasterCard.
When thinking about how to make money on Steam from popular games, keep in mind: methods are divided into official and prohibited. Since offenses are not allowed, combine all available options.
It is not officially allowed to trade accounts, but it is not difficult to find a buyer on third-party platforms. You will have to make an initial investment and select worthwhile games, focusing on your interests potential client. At the right approach expenses can be reduced:
Place offers to sell your account on gaming forums or special platforms. The site http://buytoplay.ru/ has proven itself well, because the risk of deception is minimal.
The established cost should not exceed the total price of the selection without discounts. Depending on the games, it can range from $5-6 to $175. You can determine the price of your account using a special service: enter your ID or provide a link to your profile to make a calculation. Not only the number of games is taken into account, but also the presence of bans, experience in running games, and the state of the inventory (the presence of interesting items increases the cost). Competition in the market is also important, so don’t rush to sell your account right away.
There is no point in specially leveling up in hit positions: it will take more than one year to achieve the required level in CS. Automatic pumping is associated with risks, since the system runs Valve AntiCheat. The service bans overly enterprising players, and the account price drops.
Be careful, because some Steam fans report to the administration when they see offers for sale. Back in 2011, the site’s owners banned a user who was trying to make money on his account. The total cost of the games he purchased was $1,800, but after the ban the poor guy lost access to them and did not receive any profit.
Making money on cards is a common way to raise money to purchase games. What will you need to do? Just play! Cards are collectible items that are farmed as you progress. They drop out as you play, and you collect them into badges. But you can collect 2-3 cards without outside help. The rest have to be purchased, which gives budding entrepreneurs the opportunity to earn money.
Start by checking out the list of games where you can farm cards. Go to the “Store”, click “View all” and in the filters look for the “By characteristics” section. Check the box next to “Trading cards”. Choose games within 19-20 rubles, look for a topic that interests you. Look how much they offer for cards: gamers share information in reviews. Choose a game cheaper than the total amount that can be earned from selling farm.
The price of cards depends on rarity: some copies are sold for 100 rubles. Foil Cards are highly expensive, but they are also rare.
If you are playing on the court, you have collected cards without even knowing it. When passing through, they are issued approximately once every 30 minutes. Thanks to the cards, gamers increase their Steam Level, collect profile badges (they do not provide real benefits) and receive stickers for chats. But these functions are useless for you, so it’s better to sell the cards.
To look at the assortment, go to the installed program, click on the name and select “Badges” (they are also called badges). If there are no cards or you do not want to sell the existing ones, start the game. The site takes into account the time spent in it, so you can press Alt+Tab and go about your business while farming continues.
Inventive users have found a more profitable method. To get cards, they install the Steam Idle Master program. Its use does not violate the rules of the site.
The program simulates being in the game, automatically switching all the positions that are in your store. She also monitors the icons page, checking which cards are still available. But there is a drawback: games purchased on Steam can be returned if you spent less than 120 minutes in them. When using Idle Master you risk losing this feature.
To sell cards, log into your account and click on the image of the envelope. In your profile, select “New items in inventory”. Click on the card you want and find “Sell”. You will be shown the average price for the selected item, which will allow you to determine the cost. Mark cards for sale and confirm your selection.
How profitable is it to earn money this way? It depends on the money spent. After releases, cards are expensive, but when games go on sale, you won’t be able to farm valuable items.
What is Gift on Steam? Essentially, this is purchasing a game or item not for yourself, but as a gift. The word, derived from the English gift, was known to everyone who wanted to make money on the site. After all, you could buy the game cheaply, choosing from the available offers, and sell it at a higher price to another region. The buyers were foreigners (prices are often higher for them) or users who did not have time to take advantage of the promotion. But the company Valve, which developed and maintains the platform, began to fight the trade in Gifts.
The following changes occurred in 2017:
As a result, earnings from gifts that were promising in the past do not bring much benefit. It is inferior compared to other methods, so look for alternatives.
If you still want to sell the game to another user, follow these steps:
When sending a gift, don't worry about the recipient's honesty. After all, Gifts can be recalled through technical support. But the number of gifts per day is limited - no more than 10 pieces. Taking into account regional restrictions, it is unlikely that you will be able to earn a significant amount.
If you are willing to make a small investment, the “buy low and sell high” method is at your disposal. To make the task easier, install the Steam Trader Helper extension: it works with the Google Chrome browser.
After completing the installation, select a popular game that you understand. For example, let's look at Dota 2: there are enough items for it. It is important not to buy everything, but to find things that are in demand. If you make the wrong choice, there is a risk of spending money on an item and not selling it even at cost.
A graph showing price fluctuations for an item Do you understand the nuances and can find things that players need? Don't forget to check the price chart. Pay attention to the difference between the top and bottom points, because the larger it is, the more profitable the possible deals.
After installing Steam Trader Helper, an additional button will appear next to each item. By clicking Add in STH, you give the extension a command to buy the selected items (specify the appropriate price and quantity). But you will have to wait a week to exchange or sell: these are the rules of the site.
After the specified period, put the items up for sale. If you're willing to shell out some cash, purchase the paid version of Steam Trader Helper. With its help, trade will go faster. But there are also options that do not require investment. These include Steam Inventory Helper: thanks to its clear interface you will speed up the sales process.
To begin with, limit yourself to cheap items, focusing on volumes. If you buy an item for 0.65 rubles and sell it for 1 ruble, you will receive 35 kopecks. Although the profit is small, after 100 trades you will have enough money to purchase a cheap game. And when purchasing an item for 100 rubles. you can sell it in a week for 150 rubles. But there is a risk that after a while the price will fall, and it will not even be possible to reach 0. After all, you still have to pay a percentage to the trading platform!
Before moving on to larger amounts, make sure you know all the intricacies and nuances of the process. After all, the Steam commission is 15%. It is easier for beginners to purchase 1000 items in a week than to wait for a profitable buyer.
If you still have questions about how to make money on Steam using Trader Helper, watch the video:
Trading skins follows the same principle as trading cards. They partially change appearance(color) of the weapon, but does not affect the characteristics. Skins can be called skins that are liked by experienced players.
They are mainly traded by gamers specializing in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike. You can buy them and resell them, but there is still a risk that the value will not increase. If there are a lot of skins, the price drops, so you need to monitor the situation. But experts who understand Dota 2 and Counter-Strike, Rust and PayDay will find skins for $100.
Sometimes they are sold on third-party sites, but the likelihood of fraud remains high. Try trading on SkinXChange - a site with a reliable reputation among gamers.
The cost is affected by the rarity of the skin, and the following categories are distinguished:
In addition to rarity, the degree of wear is also important, which is determined by the quality of the paint.
When making money on skins, you need to navigate the situation and know seasonal trends. After all, before the release of operations for CS: GO, the cost drops; shop during this time. Later, prices return to their previous level, which allows you to make money.
Let's look at an example: the cost of AWP ǀ Pixel camouflage in slightly worn condition before the operation was 1,500 rubles. After 2-3 days it dropped by 500 rubles, and I made a purchase. We have to wait 3 months. and sell the skin for 1,700 rubles. The price has risen because of the 100-150 copies that were on sale after the start of the operation, only 20 remained.
You can also get money for playing games on the Internet using capsules. They contain stickers for weapons, and items drop during competition in Counter-Strike. Initially they are sold at a high price, but later the price drops. Then it rises again, although you have to wait 6 months for this stage.
How much can you earn from capsules? Profit depends on luck and your knowledge in the field. You can spend $2 and get $300, but sometimes you can barely cover your expenses. Let's look at an example: a capsule with a sticker initially cost 3 rubles, then 8 rubles. Later the price decreased to 4 rubles. Such downturns and declines come in waves, and it is only important to choose the moment.
Backgrounds and emoticons also bring profit, but only rare options. You can get them for game experience or crafting badges. But in most cases, crafting is not profitable: despite promises, Valve rarely provides popular backgrounds or sought-after emoticons. In discussions on the forum, gamers come to the conclusion that badges are a waste of money. Crafting is complex and unpredictable, because you will need to buy games or cards that are in short supply. In 89% of cases, stickers or emoticons received for badges are not needed; But some options, if the buyer likes them, can be sold profitably.
Gamers also sell stickers obtained from capsules. The price is determined by rarity: items are divided into regular, holographic and metal.
Types of Price Stickers There are a variety of ways to make money on CS: GO:
The disadvantages of this option include the need for preparation: you will need knowledge of the nuances. Let's figure out how to quickly make money on Steam by playing games.
If you wish, you can place bets on the site, but this type of earnings is risky. You will need to understand the nuances, which only avid gamers can handle. But they also lose significant amounts. Risks are associated with the following:
Have you decided to place a bet? Focus on team preparation, not percentages or odds.
You will be able to make money on Movie Making, commonly called movies, if you offer the result to school clans. Having mastered the work in the Sony Vegas Pro video editor, ask for 150 rubles. for the movie. Make avatars in Photoshop (75 rubles). You can also get a drop for your work.
Operations are campaigns that are conducted online; During their course, gamers get skins. You have to pay for participation (up to 400 rubles), but there is no guarantee of payback. But avid gamers can't go wrong: during the validity period they go through more than 60 missions, receiving the same number of items.
For example, I bought an operation for 240 rubles. and gave 250 rubles. for the additions. As a result, I got an item worth almost 3,000 rubles. It was a CZ-75 ǀ Bowl, and at the time of the drop the price did not exceed 400 rubles. The cost increased towards the end of the operation, when I made the sale.
The game allows you to create items that you can later sell. Skins are in demand, because depending on their rarity, they are painted in different colors: consumer goods white, industrial quality - light blue, etc.
When you collect 10 guns of the same rarity, you can craft an item of the next level. Do you have enough consumer goods to produce industrial quality? You will receive an exchange contract, open it and select 10 the right types. All you have to do is click on “Exchange”, leave a signature and send. As a result, you will receive a new item.
Crafting blindly is not a good idea, so use the Steam recipes.
To increase your income, pay attention to the following:
The bad news is that Steam doesn't generate revenue comparable to that of promoting social media accounts. It will not be possible to quit your official job and extract income from the site: the profits are small, and there are many additional factors influencing the result.
Making money on Steam is suitable for teenagers or gamers who want to cut down on hobby costs. According to reviews, the income is modest: on the forum, an actively trading user says that he bought more than 170 games at sales that he did not even launch. The goal was to obtain cards for further sale. The result? In 3 years, the user earned 7,000 rubles. For a teenager, this is a significant amount of money that can be spent on games. It’s easier for an adult gamer to allocate 200 rubles. per month on a hobby, but save time on selling cards and monitoring the market situation.
The amounts received on the site are usually spent by gamers on games or other items. After all, there is no official conclusion from Steam: the owners do not promote the service as a platform for making money. But there are workarounds:
Since income on Steam is small, it is most profitable to spend money on the system. After all, to earn money you will have to work hard, and only avid gamers have the necessary skills and abilities. Earning income on the site is more likely to save you from additional expenses on a hobby than to provide an opportunity to earn money in real life.
To get significant income on the site, you will need to study the intricacies and spend a lot of time. If you are not one of the avid gamers who understand the nuances of CS: GO, then the profit will only be enough to buy new games. But those who simply want to reduce their hobby costs will be pleased. Are you one of them? Get to work! And if you are already making money on the site, share your experience in the comments.
