Well, the first thing you should do is do daily quests. If you're level
70, there are many different quests you can do DAILY that give you 10+
gold per completion. If you're NOT 70 there are a few other things you
can do.
RUN INSTANCES: Instances offer much more gold and loot than regular
questing. You'll get better drops, better money, and better experience.
Not only will your cashflow increase, but you'll gain levels faster,
making the more profitable high level spots available to you.
Utilize the auction house: Most 'white' drops you get will sell on the
auction house. From savage fronds to crypt fiend parts, you never know
what the new 'trendy' quest is. Not to mention reagents for
blacksmithing/jewelcrafting/etc. I'm sure this goes without saying, but
more often than not a green drop (or even blue/purple) will sell on the
auction house much better than to a vendor. People will pick up cheap
greens simply to disenchant. Others, who have higher level characters,
will pick up greens to get their lower level characters better gear.
Gear with level requirements on the higher end of the battle ground
tiers (19, 29, 39, 49 etc.) all sell much better than level 31,41, 51
gear. This is because many players like to keep characters at the top
level of certain battleground tiers and gear them as best they can in
order to dominate on that level.
Mage/healer combo: Mages can kill many monsters at a time using Arcane
explosion. By themselves, they can usually take about 3 at a time; but
with some healing, they can pull as many as 10! Farming gnolls on fenris
isle is a great low level place to do this. They drop tons of wool, and
have a large population density. As you get higher in level, you can do
the following areas: Hillsbrad Fields ~20-28 (Horde exclusive)
Dustwallow Marsh 32-40
Feralas (gnolls) or Tanaris (pirates) 38-46
PLAGUELANDS (This is a good one) : 48-58
From 58 on you'll be in outlands. Pretty much anywhere you go there are
a ton of mobs and plenty of ways to make money.

- Do all the daily quest and make your character a gatherer (mining, herbing, skinning) and you will be swimming in the gold in no time.
- they are the best way i made money playing was by mining, skinning, and de-enchanting items. and once you get to 70 daily heroic quest.

played wow for 2 years
- if ur 70 do all the quest in isle of quel'danas every day its easy.and yes many of the guides dont work
Source(s):
me - I made the riches with a rare Cooking recipe Check Thottbot on Savory Deviate Delight

Been Selling them for 4 months - Its pretty easy to make gold on World of Warcraft now. If you do all 25 of your daily quests every day then that's plenty of gold just from doing dailys. Also you can add to that by picking up some nice money making professions. This is what i do and it works for me! Good luck
- There are lots of ways you can make money at any level.
If you are 70, yes, of course, do your daily quests. You will earn an average of 250g from quests alone (not including drops off mobs) if you do all 25 dailies.
If you are not yet 70, rely on your gathering professions. I hope you have some! Skinning is easy to level because you skin the mobs you kill. You can gather without thinking about it. Leather doesn't always sell very well, but you will make up in volume what you lose in price per stack. Mining is universally profitable. Three separate production professions rely on mining these days: Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, Engineering. If you're going to mine, make sure to sell what you gather in ore form. It will sell more easily that way, as some professions need it in ore form (and those who need bars likely can get them made into it). Herbalism is a good choice too. Not as many professions use herbs, but because they're used in consumables, people will continue to need them.
Gather what you can, and sell everything at the Auction House.
Quest. You earn money (in gold, or drops) from the mobs you kill, and earn money as a reward for the quest. It's double-dipping monetary goodness.
Whether you're 70 or not, you can earn money just by using your resources, and focusing on supplying the market with goods instead of purchasing goods. Quest when and where you can, make frequent posts at the Auction House, and recognize a good deal when you see one. If you're unsure of an item's worth (recipe, rare item, dropped reagent), check thottbot or wowhead for "Average Price" and post the item somewhere in that range.
Use your head. Don't waste your money, real or virtual, on strategy guides.Source(s):
- As mentioned in the above answers, dailies! But also if you pick up 2 gathering proffesions( I like mining and herbalism becuase you don't have to kill stuff) and just run around outlands like a madman and collect anything and everything you see, you can have the herbs made into potions to use yourself or you can sell them, for very good money, also the ore you pick up will sell VERY well in the AH especially Adamantite.
- Do dailies in the Isle of Quel'Danas, mine, pick weeds(herbalism), Farm netherweave, become an enchanter and make money in the long run
