When World of Warcraft began in 2001. Gold making wasn't on the map. It was a niche idea that a few were able to begin with. Auction house buying was young, and most of the fortunes made in game were from dubious methods (buying of gold, duplication of items etc).
But fast forwarding to today, there are multiple journals and opinions on how to make gold. From farming, selling, buying, crafting. All viable ideas. But with one purpose, to make you into a Warcraft virtual millionaire.
The plain truth is that making a large amount of gold in the game changes how you view playing. Deal hunting and selling becomes a unofficial profession of it's own. Now with the right amount of gold you can have just about anything you want in the game. You can almost instantly have a raid equipped toon in under 5 minutes. You can buy that awesome mount, or even buy a run to get an awesome mount. Want a cat, jump to the AH and you can buy one of your very own.
The benefits of having gold will change the game. Also it will become a game until itself. Getting bored with raiding and dungeons (and right now it's not that difficult to do). The AH becomes a flexible opponent that you can never truly beat. As the consortium forums say, gold making is the ultimate in PVP.
As we continue with this journal. Getting closer to the Mists of Pandaria invasion, those that are making gold now will have a huge advantage over someone who is just starting out. It is difficult, near impossible to get a realm first in a crafting profession without having enough money saved up. The first BOE mounts and getting the first combat pets require gold to purchase from the AH, or the time to farm them up yourselves.
So what is the tip for today? Be ready for tomorrow and the next day and the next day. Making gold in the warcraft game changes your gaming life, and it changes how people look at you. And how you look at yourself
Good Luck and Good Hunting
