Easy money for low levels

Are you a low leveled character and are you jealous at high levels that have a lot of money? Do you constantly feel the need to beg for money? There is absolutely NO need for! Listen up, and I'll tell you how to make some easy money.

Yesterday I made a new character called Fiora (human rogue). I made her for the sole purpose of gold farming, and she's already made a lot of money. This is how I did it:

The beginning
I speed-leveled her up to level 5. That means I did all the quests in Northshire, but in addition, I killed a few mobs more than necessary for extra XP. I didn't save on equipment and abilities, as they are necessary to keep me alive when I farm money. It took me about 30 minutes to level up to 5.

Professions
After I did all quests in Northshire, I took the quest that would send me to Goldshire. But before I went there, I payed a visit to Stormwind. I learned the profession mining and herbalism. Then I went back to Goldshire.

Gathering
I took on quests in Goldshire to level up some more, but at all times I had one tracking ability turned on. Both mining and herbalism have "Find resources" abilities, that make mines and herbs show up as yellow dots on your minimap. You can only track one resource at a time though, so you'll have to switch back and forth between herbs and mines. Every time I saw a yellow dot, I was there in no time to gather it. Of course, I smelted copper ore into copper bars first. That's really important!

List
In the end, I had gathered the following things:
- 20 copper bars
- 20 Silverleaf
- 19 Peacebloom
- 3 Malachite
- 20 Linen cloth (looted from mobs)

Auctioning
And here's where the cash rolls in: the Auction House in Ironforge. For those who don't know how to get there: take the Deeprun Tram in the Dwarven District in Stormwind. You may think the resources I found aren't that valuable, since I got them in a low-level area, but you are wrong. There are always high level characters who change their profession to Engineering, and need a LOT of copper bars to skill it up. The same goes for new-found Alchemists, who will need Silverleaf and Peacebloom at low skill levels. Linen and Malachite usually sell for decent prices too.

I made 24 hours auctions for all the items on the list above. The trick is to start with a low price, say: 10 silver for 20 copper bars, but to set the buyout price at around 80 or 90 silver. That buyout is high enough to make a huge profit, but fair enough for a high level character that needs 20 copper bars right away. The low starting price basicly guarantees that there will be bids, and the price will always get higher.

Money money money!
Well, that was about it. When I checked back two hours later, the copper bars where already bought out for 85 silver. And this morning, I got rid of the Silverleaf, also for 85 silver. So right now, my level 7 character has 1 gold 70 silver, and STILL four valuable items on auction. And I have only played a total of three hours with her. Needless to say this procedure can be repeated over and over again. Just be sure you don't auction too much of one item at the same time. The auction house does work on a supply and demand base, actually.

Conclusion:
There is absolutely no need for a low-level character to have a low budget. Take on a good gathering profession and learn how to play the Auction House, and you'll be rich in no-time. So could all low-level characters FINALLY stop begging for money now?

Good luck!
