1. About Me: 34 year old guy who's played WoW since launch in 2004. I have many characters, most of which are over level 70. Having many alts with many professions already at high level definitely made it easier to get in to gold making.

| "So I got that goin' for me.. which is nice." |
I work full time as an IT guy. Married with 2 kids and we all play WoW, sadly. lol It does save me the grief that many of you fellas probably catch from your wives that don't play though. I'm a very experienced player with a broad range of game related knowledge, but relatively new to gold making.
2. My Characters: (listing only ones involved with gold making). I've also decided to keep my characters names and server locations private. I may change my mind on this later.
Protection Paladin - Level 85 - 525 Blacksmith/Miner
Arcane Mage - Level 85 - 525 Engineer/Miner
Holy Priest - Level 85 - 525 Enchanting/Tailor
Warlock (spec varies) - Level 85 - 525 Jewel Crafting/Inscription
Wife has a Moonkin - Level 85 - 525 Alchemy/Herbalism
3. Why Make Gold and Why Blog About It? I've typically been broke for most of the time that I've played WoW. You earn money, buy crap and you're broke again (just like IRL for many of us). Epic Mounts, Gear, Materials and other crap cost a fortune. The game is designed to keep you busy chasing something and broke all the while. If your goals were completely attainable, WoW subscription rates would plummit as people essentially beat the game by meeting all of their goals. Unfortunately, the game doesn't allow this for a whole list of reasons.
I got tired of being chronically broke and I got pretty hardcore in to gold making in early April, 2011. I started with a combined total of roughly 300g. Two months later, I was sitting at around 60,000g. I've never had this much gold, ever. I'm only here to share tips on what I've done up to this point and what I continue to do to make gold. No gold guides for sale, no paid coaching. Just free "take it or leave it" advice for people who may be interested in solid entry level advice.
I will also share articles from other gold bloggers if they have great tips. Also, if I list a tip that someone else has already posted, I'll promptly apologize and give credit where due. Many tips are fairly common sense oriented and ripping anyone off is potentially pretty easy and is of course not a goal.
Welcome to the site and I hope your visit is worth while. Please feel free to ask questions or to share any tips you may think the community will find useful.

Yay! We need more 30 something bloggers!
ReplyDeleteSeems like most of the good bloggers are late 20s or older, with most of the garbage posts (and sites) coming out of the younger crowd.
With Age Comes Wisdom
Hopefully. Let's see what sort of rubbish I end up coming up with. lol
