Hello everyone! I'm just wondering how to start, what to do to earn more points to enter, and what cheap games you guys would like me to put up in the future.

And here is DeltaBladeX's Guide to Winning on SteamGifts for New Users, which you will also want to read.

I just gained points for seemingly no reason. Why is this?

You gain point when giveaways end, based on their value. Read the FAQ as soon as you can.

The point system is designed to prevent users from entering for every single giveaway. This lowers the overall number of entries, and provides everyone with better odds of winning games they're interested in playing. New users start out with 25P. Every time anyone submits a game, every member of the site, excluding the giveaway creator, receives 5 percent of that gifts value (in USD) in points. For example, if a $50 gift is created, every user on the site receives 2.5 points. And, if a $20 gift is created, everyone would receive 1 point. These points can then be spent on entering giveaways.

1P = $1 - When entering a giveaway, 1P is equal to $1. If you're entering for a chance to win a game valued at $20, you'll spend 20 points. If at anytime you decide to remove your entry while the giveaway is open, those points will be returned.

The maximum number of points that can be banked is 300. This is to prevent users from stocking up on points while being away for long periods of time.
-Directly from the FAQ.

hey, welcome to steamgifts!

start by reading the FAQ.
you earn points by doing nothing, they will generate on their own. As people make more giveaways, you will get more points to spend.

cheap games? the humans here on SG seem to like Skyrim. but anything you choose will be appreciated by most, i think.

enjoy your stay :)

All the answers to the first bit of your question are here in the thread (FAQ is a "must read"), so welcome to Steamgifts, and be lucky :)

Additionally, if you're looking to find inspiration for giveaways, there's a Steamgifts wishlist here, which amalgamates the wishlists of everyone here who has a public profile, and you can even filter it by price groups (ie "$5 or less").
