About making gold: If you have a little perception, you can make gold on your own.  Key things: search for recipes and materials, craft them, auction them off, study the auction house, budget, plan for future expenses and save. 

For starters, check out (http://thottbot.com/v3865885)"Guidelines for getting your first mount" by Wilburt, (http://thottbot.com/v3909480)"Help! How do I stop making money?" by Boris, and (http://thottbot.com/v3953263)"Trading currency between Alliance and Horde" by Feena.
