How do I earn keys and skins?

Hi guys,
Firstly I want to apologize if this thread is irrelevant to the sub-forum. I tried searching for about 15 minutes but could not find the right place to post this. Please move this thread or tell me the correct place for this if needed.

I've played CS:GO for about 2700 hours since its release and CS 1.6 and CSS for about 2000 total. I've traded heavily in the past and worked my way up and owned a karambit. However, i lost it in gambling(surprise surprise). This was about 1 year ago. Now, I'm unable to work my way up again by trading as it is just not working as well as it did before.

I'll not waste much of your time by phrasing any more useless sentences. Heres what this thread is about:

=>I want to have many skins and keys.

Things i CAN NOT do:
-I cannot add funds to my wallet using steam card or paypal or my credit/debit card.
-I will not beg for skins and keys as It may work every now and then but the aim is to earn not to beg.
-I cannot offer boosting services as I have limited bandwidth. I prefer using my bandwidth in working on my own things and improving my own self.

Maybe a very few more things that I cannot do (by choice or not) to have skins and keys.

Please suggest me some other methods that you guys know. I'm willing to put in the effort. I hope you guys dont see this thread as something negative. I understand many people consider these sort of things useless(skins and keys and such). But this is something I want a good load of, for some time. So, I'm willing to put in some effort in it.

Once again, extremely sorry if this isn't the right place to post my thread.

 

Skins you can get as drops, as well as cases.

Keys you HAVE to buy.

So, with that being said, seeing as you cannot add wallet funds, your ONLY option is to sell cases/skins you get as drops and save up over time to buy a key here and there.

Only other options is to trade up via reddit/csgolounge and attempt to profit via that.

 

thanks nano for the advice. Seeing how experienced you are, I'll take your word that i must trade up ONLY. Like i used to earlier.. but its not as effective now..
Could you also help me with 1 more thing?
can you tell me some good reddits for csgo trading?

Also apart from what nano said, If you've managed to save up around 6$ and buy the wildfire pass If I'm not mistaken you'll be able to get drops from the gods and monsters collection. (https://csgostash.com/collection/The+Gods+and+Monsters+Collection)
which, if you're lucky might get something decent from it.

 

I do happen to have an operation pass thanks to a very good friend of mine
How do I get the drops from these special collections though?

EDIT: googled it lol.. now i know how to get drops from those collections. Tyvm

 

I Wouldn't consider it a very good way, but it's a start.
Also, now the majors coming link your steam account to a twitch account and always stay idle in the major streams, because in majors they drop cases to random people that require no key, and you can either sell them for money or yolo open them example of the last major case http://steamcommunity.com/market/li...Cluj-Napoca 2015 Cobblestone Souvenir Package

 

I have decided to open a Profile Rank boosting Service. I am able to play csgo for several hours each day and so I've decided to offer my service cheap, for keys and skins only. This will enable me to get more keys so I can get back into trading (with a decent amount of keys to start with). Also, I'll be helping out many players who need the ranks for playing competitive or just for the service medal and medal levels.

 

If you can't personally buy keys, you're gona have to work for them by playing, or bet your drops and possibly grow your inventory fast.

 

Trading is really good.

I started at 7 cents then got to $85.

Sold my inventory for keys, now at $63.50

 

Bookmarked this thread. I learned a lot from these replies. ^_^

 

Trading is not as effective as it once was unless you have a decent inventory that consists of highly demanded items. A year ago it was a lot easier, now everyone is looking for a markup.

You don't have any options other than collecting cases/skins from game drops. You could invest maybe $50 into a online Gift Card which you can use to purchase keys/skins off of OPSkins. Then use those to trade up. Other then that you aren't going to get too far with a small inventory or simply collecting cases/skins from drops.

 

Yeah. It took me a month to get from a shitty 7 cent skin to a dollar. But then everything moved smoothly and soon enough I got $85
