Or in my case:
- Be a fan of a Valve game
- Give away free updates to the game for 7+ years
- Give people the ability to pay $1 if they want to
- Revenue (eventually)

(so if you want money sooner rather than later, it's probably best to ask for it up front)

There is no legit/legal get rich quick method on Steam. Either slowly accumulate skins over years and years, and trade up for something more valuable. Spend a ton of $$$ opening lootcrates in hopes you get something rare. Or as others have said, make and sell a game on the platform.

hot tip: this is illegal.

You can't :\ Steam Wallet has limit of 1800 Euros. I had Factory New Butterfly Gamma Doppler worth 2200 euros, but due to Steam Wallet limittations i could not sell it for that amount. Also steam charges fee when you buy a skin, and when you sell a skin, you get nothing out of the steam market at all. Save your money, or invest them correct , if you love Steam, buy their real Stocks at your bank, steam market is a "Wannabe" investment platform<3

That's not money anyway. That's store credit.

Steam is a digital store. Unless you're a game developer/publisher, the store isn't here for you to make money off of it. It's here to make money off of you.

Just out of curiosity, do you go into Walmart or any other store and ask random strangers "hey, how can I make money in this store?"

Why would I do that I don’t even do that at all ok mabye you do that ok not me

Good ideas

The market is becoming lucrative for indies, especially if you take the time to learn the basics of game design and how to effectively incorporate the engine. Getting into game jam competitions will help improve your skills.

YouTube will be your study buddy, there's an entire community ready to share their knowledge to people who aren't afraid to ask stupid questions. Or, as I like to put it...

It's literally what you did here.

[HereIsPlenty]

It is not literally what he did here. You cannot conflate a store like Walmart with a store that doubles as a social media site with a secondary marketplace. Walmart does not allow people to buy and sell items. Walmart does not have scammers predating on its customers. Walmart is in very few ways comparable to Valve's business.

Aside from this...

Forget about trying to make money on Steam. That mindset is going to cause you to fall for a scam.

Remember:

• Steam items are not worth real money. Store credit only.
  
• All third party sites that claim to allow you to cash out Steam items for real money are scams.

Only breaks ToS if you try to cash the steam wallet out. But if you make wallet funds, to spend on Steam. Completely fine.
