As you get into your late 30s, grind earth elementals in Arathi and or the badlands for elemental earth. Sells for 2.5 - 3g each on the AH (Alliance side PvP server).

There's no specific guide for gold farming in Vanilla, especially when you're low or mid level, but there's a common algorythm for earning good money while you level up. Sure thing professions do very well, gathering ones specifically.

There are few rules o' trade you should keep your eyes on;
- Get bigger bags asap; more slots you have more money will you earn.
- Loot grey crap that stacks. Prioritize most valuable over less.
- Get addons; those which show you the sell value of the items you get, statistics for that grey crap you get best deals for and those showing you the free bag space available, so you control you bag filling more efficient. Automate some processes, like junk selling at vendors.
- Sell EVERYTHING you won't be using yourself or other players for their professions, class specific spells and so on.
- Buy NO gear.
- Buy your class skills you are using!
- Fish dat fish!! Stonescale Eel, Oily Blackmouth, Firefin Snapper…

Help out almost full groups of lowbies in dungeons for a reasonable price or group quests.

That's about it.

Edit: Oh, and make an alt banker. You'll need it.

I farmed fadeleaf in swamp of sorrows for 3g per stack to get my level 40 mount. It sucked but it got the job done.

You can also farm elemental earth and cod them to me for 1 gold each.

For bag management it could be Titan Panel, Titan Bags or Fu bar analog. Bagnon or OneBag are usefull as well.

For the money flow from craptrading - Automate.
For prices to be shown - Sell Value or Informant with some databases.
Perhaps you will find usefull Auctionator or Aux for enhanced auction house usage.

Farmed coyotes in badlands on level 42 for 3 hours and that was it, just sold all the greens, greys and whites.. was easily 10-15g/h when nobody else was around. I shit you not, I did this for almost 3 days to get a solid gold reserve for skills and item upgrades and it was almost 10g/h at minimum + the xp. The spawns times were great and it was rather fast with mage, dno bout other classes tho

You should just find a spot with a lot of beast and nice spawn cycles and go on a rampage for a couple of hours. Of course you need to make sure you don't overlap the farming area with someone else. It's ridicolous how easy it actually is to get gold like that.

If you're already level 40 I'd say go check out the coyote situation in badlands while you're questing.. If no1 else is around pause the questing and just spank the dogs like you mean it for a couple of hours.

E: This will work even better as you get to the point where you can shoot for the more classic way of farming trade goods...

The guide is:

1. Kill that shit (preferably easy to kill beasts)
2. Loot the hell out of it
3. Salesman of the year

- >Repeat

Also like Mugo stated above:
4. Stop wasting gold on stupid things like bying level 40 bis gear and skilling up engineering (Srsly stop wasting money, this is why you're poor)
5. Buy only the skills you actually use every fight. Like frostbolt and conjure water for mages, you don't need all of them (This is also why you're poor)

Do not buy skills that you do not /need/ for leveling.

Don't bother focusing on grinding until you hit lvl35ish, then start grinding turtles in shimmering flats and vendor everything, at 38 start grinding earth elementals in Arathi or badlands if it isn't highly contested.

Stop wasting gold on abilities you don't use regularly on mob killing, you can buy them later at 60. Same goes for professions, don't bother with them until 60. You can mine stuff you run past to get skills, but it won't be worth it as a money making tool yet.
