Mining combined with the power of supply and demand within a local server economy can make you some serious gold if you can put together a good plan of attack. I consider mining to be one of the three best professions to have early on to maximize building your wealth. This is because you can make a lot of money as you level up. With that in mind I came up with a cool strategy that will make you gold pretty quickly if you plan it properly.

Though at times competitive, mining is still one of the best professions early on and sometimes it can be easier than you think. The competition will be factored by the number of people in your server and how many of them are miners; this is usually determined by the economy and the supply/demand ratio of the server. You can get a sense of the market by checking in the Auction House. There you can check to see what other miners have put up for sale. Once you see what ore is for sale and how much of each ore is available, you then pay close attention to what ore is selling quickly. I'll explain why.

Don't disregard the lesser ore's, they might be greater demand for them that the better grades. If a fel iron sales are moving quickly and adamite is just sitting for days, then it has a greater demand. Even though it will be less gold per stack, because it sell so much faster means you make gold faster too. Would you rather let an adamite ore sit for a few days before you get paid or sell some lesser ore at 5 times the rate and build your wealth? I call it the fast food versus the fancy restaurant method. Who sells food faster? Who makes more money at the end of the year? The fast food joint does!

Remember, it's about supply and demand for each ore that makes this work. Do yourself a favor and look in the Auction House immediately to plan out a strategy. Remember, the one who actually a plan usually wins in whatever game they choose to play. Strategy is a key component if you want to make lots of WoW gold.
