I know this is covered before, but heres my scenario. I stupidly made my main lvl 40 mage a tailor/ench, and ench takes up a lot of $ to say the least. Now that I hit lvl 40, I could use some money instead of living poor all the time. Whats the best way for me to make money with this? I also just started an alt, lvl 10 skin/mining warrior to make some money. Should I get him high enough and use him for money instead? Maybe just farm hides and ore and sell on AH?
Drop tailoring, it's going to cost you a fortune and honestly it is cheaper to buy the few tailored items you want off the ah than to get the ENTIRE skill. Get a good guild and someone else that really wants tailoring can do combines for you. Tailoring is a money-sink, I have never seen it actually generate real money.

Tailoring is usually a money sink, unless you find a recipe that no one else (or very few) can make. But other than that, there are so many tailors that it will rarely make money. I wish I had given my priest something else.

I like tailoring becuase I dont need any harvesting profs to go with it, and it makes me plenty of resources for my ench money sink. In getting to 216, id say about 90% of the resources have been from d/e on tailored items.
Selling Moon cloth makes Tailoring good, even if you just sell mooncloth.

I was looking for advice towards either using ench for profit, or using my alt miner/skinner for money and how to do that properly. I dont want to drop tailoring cuz I can easily make greens and blues and d/e them
Well as far as using your alt, the simple formula is: mine everything you see, skin everything you see, AH it so long as you will make more than selling to a vendor. The only problem here is you will have to level up your alt because you'll want to get higher lvl ores, so you really just end up having a 2nd character devoted to making you money because you want certain skills on your main.
As far as using ench for profit, selling reagents you don't use anymore would work, obviously if you can use it for skillup you won't want to sell it but there should be many things you won't use anymore and there's some extra cash.

its hard to drop a pro you have leved thus far, I know. but if its gold you are after... I would drop enchanting and pickup herbalism or minning that seems to be where the value is.
drop tailoring tailoring uses expensive resources and so much cloth
enchanting is worth keeping tho u can sell enchants for nice money

selling chants is not a good idea.
I would keep the skill, but only to use to disenchant things. enchanting mats sell for serious money.
I would drop the tailoring and pick up herbalism. I have a 42 priest, and with the gatherer mod and his mount, I can make upwards of 30g an hour on my server, picking flowers..
last night in roughly 2 hours I gathered
16 mageroyal
21 bruiseweed
44 liferoot
34 briarthorn
36 khadagar's whiskers
50 goldthorn
16 swiftthistle
5 wild steelbloom
25 blindweed
54 kingsblood
26 fadeleaf
the price charts on Allahkazam say that that is worth 61g on average.. but I listed it at undercut rates on my server and have already made 72g.. in less than 24 hours.

If you're bored, just do a few with a group in a instance and greed everything. If you win it, disenchant and sell. Keep doing so until you got alot of shards and sell 'em.

1 word.... Pets. They almost always sell and some of them are rare enough that they can get a good amount for them. The best by far I have seen is the Snowshoe Rabbit. It costs 20silver and sells for a minimum of 1 gold on the AH, usually closer to 3. Problem is, knowing where to find them.... It seems not many people know or just don't care to get them. Of course, all the Whelps are good, but they can take time to get. But if you have time (like while waiting in the BG cue) it is easy enough to get a Red.... and if you do it with your Skinner alt, you can get a TON of leather and scales.

I think that you guys are getting a bit irational, you knwo proffesions are not the only way to get money. There is something called farming, Go to SM, get a buddy, and go through an instance abuot 5 times, you get about 10g right there, you get maybe 2.5 - 5g from money drops, and about another 5g If you sell the items on AH that you get from farming SM.
Tailoring is invaluable to you, since you are a mage, especially in later levels, It will save you loads of money, since buying form AH will only get you into a big momentum of money spending, never a good idea, and anyway, its esier to farm the items, and make them, then you can disenchant, especially since robe of power has a good disenchant item, and its BoP, which means you can't buy it.
Also ,enchanting is a great skill, but face it, until you reach lvl 270+, you aren't going to make any real money, it is a money sink, but if you buy icy chill, and sell it, you can get abuot 60g each sell!!! and that applies to most 300 nchanting.
All in all, tailoring/enchanting are the hardest skills to have, but they are the best skills at the end of the day, and they make loads of money when properly used to gether.
My advice Is to just hang in there, and to go farm some instances if you need money. Good luck :)
