How can I level up without spending so much money?

[Z3Tr1X]

I wanted to know what games I can buy with cheap trading cards or other ways to level up easily

There isn't much without spending money. If you got points from spending money previously, you can buy some XP in the pointsshop and you can do the 500XP for the community badge. Other than that the only way is to give or get awards.

so do you recommend buying cheap games and buying cheap trading cards to level up or is there another more effective way?

No. You only gain points by purchasing stuff on Steam. If you don't spend money, you don't have points.

But if you only want to level up, you don't need to buy games, you buy the trading cards and craft badges only.

It'll always require money to level up, thats how it was designed.

You can get lots of points for free just from awards. Don't pay attention to guides; most of them are written by people who are confidently wrong. Read what Valve themselves wrote. Once you get points from awards, you can use those points to buy seasonal badges. You don't have to spend money.

If you do nothing that earns you these points, you won't get awarded, unless you beg, which isn't allowed. Bad advice.
