Buy games, DLC, or items - the main way, you get points for every dollar spent. Receive awards from other users - for your mods, screenshots, artwork, guides, or comments. Be active in the community - make quality content (mods, guides, posts) so others give you awards and you earn points indirectly. Sell items on the Steam Market - use the money you earn there to make Steam purchases and get points from those.

other ways to get steam points that dont involve getting awards from posts?
or buying games, because rn i am broke.

There is way to increase the points you get per dollar spend. I haven't done it, but others have. CS2 has items that you can buy from the game which counts as a store purchase, thereby earning points, and then you can sell those items in the market to recoup your spend. Once you have the money back in your wallet, make another CS2 item purchase of those items and repeat the process.

You still spend money in the long run because you won't recoup all of your spend on the market sale, but it will be less overall in comparison to store game purchases..

weird loop but ok.. it's a ok idea.
guess i'll but a few more games.

It's something I do often.

I purchase sticker capsules inside CS2, get points, sell the capsules on the Market at a small loss after the 7 day cooldown.

Thousands of points per dollar.

Depending on the sticker capsules value on the Market vs the price in game, you have the possibility of making money by selling them and getting points free. This was the case with the Stockholm 2021 sticker capsules. They sold for no less than 2x what they were priced in game.
