One of the easiest ways to make gold in WoW is through the Auction House. When I started out playing this game more than 3 years ago, I was insanely poor just like most low level players. I couldn't afford anything I wanted; I never even used a potion until after level 40.
Now that I am a lot more experienced, I would like to give some tips that will help newer players to make a decent amount of gold when starting out.
From my first time visiting a major city, I drooled over the items on Auction House. I could tell from that moment that gold could be made from it. The idea is simple, everyone knows you buy low and sell high.
There was one predicament though, I gambled on the items that I purchased. I never knew if a profit could be made from any of the items that I bought. Surprisingly, I was still making a profit.
A huge time saver was to create a level 1 alternative character, I left him in the Ironforge. Every day I would logon to him to do my biddings on the Auction House.
As time went by, I became more accustomed to the Auction House. Profits began to pour in at a faster rate. I managed to turn a measly 60 silver into 150 gold by the time my main character hit level 40.
To avoid high deposit fees, I avoided purchasing armor and weapons on the Auction House.
Enchanting mats were my main target as they don't have any deposit fee, funny at the time I didn't even know what enchanting mats were, I just knew I could make a fortune off of them.
When addons such as the Auctioneer came out, I was overjoyed; it was a huge time saver as it sorts out potentially profitable items.
Costly mistakes were made during those times, I remember purchasing items that became obsolete right before the Burning Crusade, I lost some gold there but at the end of the day, the gold that I made far outweighs any loses.
There are always risks involved when bidding in the Auction House, but in order to make the big profits, there will always be some risk.
