Starting Over

Today, we're returning to Auction House Addict's 20 Days of Gold Making. 

Day 7:  If you were starting over again (maybe on a new server perhaps), how would you start building some capital & what goal would you set yourself?

Starting over.  It's hard for me to fathom.  It'd be challenge for sure, but it'd probably be a lot of fun. 

Starting Out

First off, I'd take a look at the market on The Undermine Journal.  I'd look at What low level gathered mats are selling for the most (probably ore).  Then I'd roll a level one, head to the nearest AH, and start research further.  Sometimes it's easy to parse markets and data by directly looking at auctions.

If I was just playing the AH, and not planning on playing/leveling any toons, I'd roll a DK. After I ended up in Stormwind (or Orgrimmar), I'd head to the profession trainer for the gathering professions I'd selected (mining, and possible herbalism).  Then off I'd head to the lowbie zones to start gathering and leveling my professions.

If I was planning on leveling toons, I'd just start with the class of my choice, grab professions, and gather while leveling.

After spending whatever time I'd allotted to gather/level, I'd head back to the AH and list my mats.  Then I'd look at the AH and TUJ again, seeing what I can reinvest in to flip.  The next day rinse, repeat, and profit.

If I was just changing servers on the same account, I'd likely just cage some pets on the new server.  Barking in trade would work fairly well, then just listing on the AH when I logged for the day.

Setting Goals

Personally, I wouldn't set any goals right away.  I'd give it a week or two, see how things were going, then look at setting goals.  A likely goal would initially be 10,000g after 2 weeks, then reevaluating after the 2 weeks.

That's all folks

That's all for this week.  Lots of stuff going on in the real world for me this week and next, so posts have to be even more brief than usual.  Best of luck, and good selling!
