If you are like many other players and are trying to find ways of making money in WoW you have come to the right place. There are some essential steps you absolutely must take before you are ready to start raking in the gold. The difference between doing them or not will easily be the difference between 150 gold an hour and upwards of 300 gold an hour. I'm not sure about you, but I would rather make the later amount.

To start you need to upsize your bags. Those 14 and 16 slot bags you have been carrying around since all of your old MC raids simply will not do the trick. The gold standard in WotLK is an 18 slot bag now, and it is not super expensive to have a full set of 20 slot bags now days. For about the same cost as one of the epic gems you gladly slap in a piece of gear you will upgrade in a week, you can have a few extra bag slots. That could easily result in an extra 5-50 gold per trip. Now do it four times and one full trip will easily pay back your costs here with ONLY the extra bag space considered.

From here run one of your alts to an auction house, buy them a few bags if they are short for now, and ...
... use this character for the sole purpose of selling your loot. This will save you a ton of time as you can just ship things at the nearest mailbox, which will always be closer than an AH. As an added benefit you can ship the items and return to farming with little delay because you can easily just sell the drops later. The one thing I hate most is finding a prime farming spot and having it to yourself then leaving and returning to find it occupied by someone else. The less time you can spend between the trips the thicker your paper will be.
Making gold in WoW would not be complete without the addition of some great farming locations and killer grinding spots. For a glimpse at my personal collection of these very spots you just need to click the next link and pick up a copy of the Gold Secrets Guide.
