A common mistake many players make is to send their character to the auction house when their bags fill up. The round trip travel time to a capital city plus auction time could be much better spent leveling instead. Of course, the problem with full bags still has to be dealt with. Enchanting is very useful while leveling a toon. But it's not useful to enchant leveling gear that will be thrown away within a day. Enchanting is useful to disenchant BOE green gear that is worth more as enchanting mats than as gear.

By employing strategies that save wow gold, it will lead to good savings habits at level 80 when cash dailies open up.  Send all items in the bags to an auction toon. The auction toon should be parked in a capital city at the mailbox closest to the bank and auction house. He will vendor all of the gray and white gear, and auction or disenchant anything green. To save a lot of time in auctioning, an auctioning add-on such as Auctioneer should be used to automatically price and post auctions quickly.

Cash will accumulate quickly as long as the temptation to buy gear is suppressed. Remember to save the money, because they will be needed to buy that expensive epic flyer at level 70. The grind for wow gold never ends. The large price tag for mounts should be more than enough reason to never browse the auction house listings while leveling.
