Here's a bunch of miscellaneous tips for making money...

Get the largest bags you can afford, as soon as possible, and loot everything you kill. That vendor trash adds up eventually. You should have all 16 slot bags in your main inventory by the time you hit level 35, and all your bank slots filled with 16 slotters by the time you hit 50.

Don't be so fast to dump grey items. I've found that really low level grey and white shoulder armor sells pretty well since there's not many options. In particular, the earliest mail shoulders you can get are a grey item. There's also a level 1 grey necklace that you can loot from the graves in ZF that is surprisingly popular with bank alts.

You can make a decent amount of money farming low level instances (WC, SFK, VC) and elite areas like Pyrewood village. Since the mobs are easy to kill and you can sell most under-20 greens for 1g each, the return for your effort is much higher. Plus, the auction house listing fees for low level greens are so low that you can just re-list them over and over again until they sell. Occasionally, you'll get a blue or a twink green as well. When farming Pyrewood village, do it at night when they are in werewolf form. They are easier to kill and have better drops. Use the hidden vendor by the greymane wall to dump your trash.

Make sure you have the latest version of Auctioneer installed and scan every time before you post new items.

To help with farming, pick up the SellValue mod...

...and use the "/li" command line option when your bags are full. This will show you which items are worth the least so you know what to dump to make room.

Learn where all of the out of the way recipe vendors are located and hit them up every few days for patterns to re-sell on the auction house.
