In this article, I'm going to talk about two very easy ways to make gold, through stealth groups and solo instances. So let's begin...

Stealth groups can cash in for a pretty big amount of gold. Stealth groups consist of only rogues and druids. When you get together for stealth groups, your main goal is to stealth through instances just to farm the bosses.

This has most effectively been done in Dire Maul. It is still a great idea to go stealth running. Dire Maul is still a great place to farm for gold. The drops now won't be as lucrative because you can't sell the books for anything. You can still make money from the drops that come from the bosses though.

If you are a miner I strong suggest you get a stealth group to Dire Maul. You can farm the Thorium ore inside and still get boss loot for extra gold. Stealth runs can be used on most instances, they are most effective when you can complete the group with 2-3 characters. This will provide you with the most cash per drops. Dire Maul is one of the top instances for Stealth run, but with the release of TBC more instances for stealth runs will be popping up.

Solo Instances...

Soloing an instance is a great way to get cash at any level. Instances are scattered throughout each leveling bracket so it gives every player level 30+ the ability to farm instances.

Farming instances is great because a majority of the mobs will be elite mobs, they have higher drop rates of items that can sell nicely. Most instances give you a few guaranteed blue drops that you can sell for nice cash.

It's not a bad idea to drop down to LOW level zones at a high level.

I used to be very big in PvP on my Alliance mage. After every battleground I would spawn in Stormwind, I would immediately run to the Stockades, and begin AOE farming inside of the instance while waiting for the next queue.

Cloth sells for a great price and that's what you get from instances.

On most servers now, even Linen Cloth is selling just under 1 gold. You can take the cloth from these instances and turn it into a great profit. You get higher amount of cloth drop per drop because they are elite mobs.
