I was reading a article about how players let there game go on autoplay and go to bed. How do I set that up and what lvl do I to be to start it. I am still new to the game only had it for about a week and a half.[pre][/pre]
There are folks who do this, usually with the help of a third party program of some kind.
The problem is that doing this is a violation of the EULA nad if SoE catches you doing this, it is a banable offense. I HIHGLY recommend you don't go this route.

A reason to leave the computer on overnight is to have your merchant window open. You can buy a merchant board from many merchants in every city zone. Place it in you room, set prices for your goods, and you're all set.
You have 2 slots in your house vault to place bags, fill with goodies, and sell even if you are off line.
But if you want to sell stuff you are carrying, you must be online. Many folks turn on their merchant window, turn off the monitor, and go to bed. In the morning they check to see if anyone bought stuff.
As dfrnchman said, running macro's or other programs will get you banned.

Exactly what is your reason for wanting to do this? Isn't the whole point of the excercise here to play the game? And if you just walk away and let the game play with itself... well, did you really need to spend the money just to let the game have all the fun?

I was just wanting to increase money intake so that could get other better stuff and I thought it also increases your crafting skills. Thank you all for the info.

Yea, that's called Botting. I suggest paging a GM in game via /petition and asking them all about it. They'd be glad to help I'm sure.
As do we all like to get a little more cash now and then.
But since SOE is bragging about recently banning 700 accounts for farming, botting, and macroing, it's best to walk the straight path. :)
Depending on your level, here's a few tips to make money:
- Do as many quests as you can stand. You usually get cash and items that you either keep or sell.
- Kill lot's of critters and sell the scraps to the merchants. You'll begin to find what items sell for the most money.
- If you get a spell drop, sell it on the merchant board in your room.
- If you are a tradeskiller, you can craft some of the lower combines that the higher tradeskillers don't want to waste time with.
- (Least popular) Harvest as much as you can stand to get a rare drop. These may sell for 10g and above. Bad news is there is no single spot to get a rare, and it may be 1 in 2000 to get one.
There really is no legal quick and easy way to make money, if there was, everyone would be doing it and be rich.
It's understandably frustrating at lower levels to be short on cash, eager to buy good gear. This is especially true if you have just come from the EQ1 economy. I use to solo Hill Giants for 15-30p each!
Be assured, you will eventually raise money for upgrades, and you will access zones that have better drops for more money. You will do quests that will give you armor and weapons, almost making money secondary.
EDIT: There is an autoplay function on the login screen that is supposed to start the game when you login. According to the current SOE TSR forums, it is bugged and shouldn't be used.
