Among CS.MONEY users surveyed, about 20%<\/strong> of skin traders earn $500-2.500<\/strong> per month, and 10%<\/strong> claim to make $2500-10.000<\/strong> or more per month.<\/p>\n
The statistics indicate that most people are not just traders – they love playing CS2, and the income from selling skins is earned through their love of the game and understanding of how it works.<\/p>\n
None of them initially set out to sell skins. They just started playing the game. More than 50 percent of those surveyed cared equally about playing and selling; only 5 percent no longer play but only trade.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
