Earning While Playing

One of the simplest ways to start making money with Dota 2 is to trade digital things. You can either sell stuff obtained from in-game crates or resell items purchased for a lower price.

Selling stuff obtained through games pays off handsomely only if you obtain something rare. Opening crates can provide you with stuff to sell, but there’s no guarantee you’ll acquire something worth more than the cost of opening it.

You can buy and resell products when the market swings if you’re ready to take a bigger risk. This demands a large initial investment, and markets can move dramatically over time. This strategy is only recommended for people who are well-versed in the community’s ideals and are willing to take risks.

Try live broadcasting your Dota 2 matches on Twitch if you’re excellent at the game and enjoy entertaining others. If you’re not confident about playing live, another fantastic alternative is to record and upload highlights from your battles to YouTube (and can help highlight your skills to esports teams searching for new talents).

Given the skilled competition in the industry, it can be a challenging road, but with enough ability at the game and engagement with your audience, you may be able to make money through: (Youtube or twitch advertisements, sponsorship deals, received gifts while streaming)
