Don't waste your time looking on google or forums for "the best gold making way", cause it ain't gonna work. I've spend months chasing easy ways, just mindlessly doing this other people told is "profitable" and "the best way". There is no 1 best way.
1. Learn how your server economy is established. You can go to sites like
https://eu.theunderminejournal.com and
www.wowunction.com and learn to work with them. They will tell you everything you need to know which items are hot to sell at that point.
2. Track it for about a week or 2. Learn the items that remain stable and profitable and those of which the price swings out of the roof one moment and drops back down the next. Learn to anticipate that swing.
3. Choose an item/ material you wanna go for and start botting for it. Don't sell anything yet. Gather it for a couple of days, then throw some on the AH when you see the time is right.
4. Never mindlessly undercut your competition. If you got 50 living steel bars to sell and there are 11 on the AH, of which 5 at a much lower buyout than the other 6. Buy out the 5, put em on higher than the others. Don't ever drop the buyout price yourself just for a quick buck, you'll lose out a ton in the long run.
5. Focus on this 1 item for a month or so, if you get the hang of it, you can pick a second item to focus on and start doing the same. Expand like that till you are comfortable with it.
6. Adapt to the market. Markets change, if your item isn't selling anymore after a couple of weeks, don't just stick with it, find something else and don't waste your time.
7. Have patience and reap the rewards. There is no such thing as a fast way to get gold capped, it takes time and patience
