1. Buy and sell cases
Buy cases and sell them for more, but don't go to the steam community market and buy them instantly, first you need to make a buy order for a lower price to sell them for more for a profit. Cases like horizon, cs20, clutch, chroma 3, danger zone, spectrum 2, and many more are quite profitable. And there's no hurry in buying cases, it's ok if you put some buy orders for something like 0.3$ if the case is something like 0.10$.

2. Flipping skins
This requires much more effort, you need to check every single skin and choose wisely to make sure which skin you should buy, some skins may be cheap but they may be cheaper after a couple of days after you purchase them and that's what happened with me.

3. Trading
You need to be smart in this case. Most of people are looking for profit while trading and most of them will ignore your offers if they are cheaper than theirs. Many people i know fell for scams for having no idea what they are doing, so you better watch some guides to know where to start from. If you have rare skins or that's popular like ak-47 redline or m4a4 asiimov are the best options to trade, some people would accept your trades even if your skins were lower in price.

4. Playing csgo
Playing deathmatch can sometimes give you good drops, cases, graffitis and sometimes skins that's worth more than 5 dollars but the odds are as low as opening a knife, and from these drops you can sell them and make some $$$.

5. Don't risk
Don't open cases or buy expensive skins at the community market, first of all opening cases is 15% profitable, so the chance of losing the money you spent on keys are 85% percent but that's optional you can do what you like to. If you think buying expensive skins from steam community market and selling them for more is profitable then nope. Steam would take 5% and 10% would go to the game owner. For example, you bought a skin for 1$, you sell it for 1.15$ you get your 1$ back, but anything beyond 1.15$ is a profit, and the more expensive the skin you buy would be harder to get rid off and make a profit from, and lastly have some patience. :)

Thanks for reading I hope I gave you something new and helpful, feel free to add me. :)

Depends on what kind of knife you are looking for. A kitchen knife ain't that expensive

if you really want a knife, go and buy one

this "from nothing to knife" isnt worth the time, several months/years

With the implementation of the 7 day trade hold this is going to be near impossible to do. Best of luck!

"buy for $5"
"sell for $5.50" = You will get $4.79
$5 - $4.79 = - $0.21

Seems, You don't know anything about Steam Market.
I was just trying to show how impossible his request of buying a knife for $5 would be, obviously there is the Steam tax and the CS:GO tax that still needs to be taken care of. Just figured I would let him figure that out on his own

People nowadays seem don’t understand the basic concept of market, just aim for quick profit.

Trade is broken... nobody accepts any trade when he needs to overpay because everyone want money and the second thing is
Trade -- Waiting one week -- Trade --Waiting one week -- or just more because you need to find someone who wants your crap for 50cent more then the normal price ... welcome to life
