Making money in World of Warcraft is a very time-consuming process. There are many ways to make gold, but trying to find a way that isn't overly time-consuming should be the primary focus of any player. There is an easy way to make some serious cash without a ton of work, but there is a huge learning curve required. With a little practice, and a bit of patience,and this World of Warcraft auction house guide, you should be well on your way to becoming a WoW Millionaire.
In order to start this method you should install a key add on to make things much easier. This magical program is called Auctioneer. It allows you to easily scan the AH and it creates a solid database of information to work with. Even if you decide not to follow the technique in this guide, this add on will serve you well. It is the best of its type, and one that every player really needs.
The way we will be working to make money is with the auction house. Specifically, we are going to be making money only from the buying and resale of many different items. This is something that takes a trained eye, on top of a solid database, to really excel in. But, once mastered, you can literally create gold on command.
The first few days with this method really don't involve much more than making sure to get a scan of the auction house at least once a day (twice or more if possible). This task tends to take about 20 - 30 minutes to complete, so set this up while you do something else, like eat.
During the first few days I would advise that you spend some time either doing some daily quests or farming of some sort. You will want a few hundred gold to work with. Of corse you can go crazy and make a few thousand gold and it would be better. Don't let a lack of gold stop you, it doesn't take a whole lot to get this method in motion.
After a few days you should have enough data to start learning. Hopefully you have a decent stash of gold to play with and kept up with your scans, because it is time to make some gold.
If you're not that experienced with trading on the Auction House then using professions might be the best way for you to make gold. Try out some gathering professions such as Mining and Herbalism to make some nice starting gold.
