Solitude Arrows Method

http://2.bp.thetechgame.com/-kcTazTUXdNg/Tu_M4OnUByI/AAAAAAAAB0U/T1O2vMiXOgo/s400/IMG_0956.JPG

So what you are wanting to do is head to solitude, and find the archers in the picture above.
Directions:
When entering/spawning in Solitude, go straight and on the left you will see flat stairs going up. Follow those up to the top and go through the little arch and you should see the archers.

What to do:
-Go to the archers and look for the archer that is actually shooting arrows.
-Then go to the target he is shooting at, and take all of the arrows.
-Wait a minute and take all of the arrows in the target again.
-Repeat until satisfied.

Rating: 3/10
Estimate Gold/h: 700-1000

Tips:
-Although this is not the fastest method of making money, it can be very efficient to archers who are starting with no money.
-Pickpocket the archer, and swap the iron arrows for more expensive arrows. This can sufficiently raise the profit you make by up to 10x.

DawnStar Chest Method

This is one of the easiest ways to make money in this game, and the easiest! What your going to do is enter/spawn in Dawnstar, and look for the Khajiit Caravan (at the beginning of Dawnstar). If they are not there rest(simulate) days at a time until they appear.

What to do:
-Make sure the Khajiit Caravan are at the entrance of Dawnstar
-Talk to the merchant lady
-See what she has to offer and exit out of the conversation
-Find the chest (in the video below)
-Sell the best items for profit!
-Wait 48 hours, repeat.

No Stone Unturned Quest

Well this is more of a quest than a method, but easily a necessity.
What is this?
When you finish the quest "No Stone Unturned" you gain access to Prowlers Profit.
Whats prowlers profit?
Prowler's Profit: Greater chance of finding additional gems in chests.

So how does this help me?
Any chest you find, it is ALMOST guaranteed that you will find some sort of gem. It may not seem like much, but it adds up really quickly.

Whats no stone unturned?
Its a quest that you get when you find an Unusual Gem, and get it appraised by Vex(thieves guild) and she gives you a quest to find 23 others.

Where are the other stones?

3 Whiterun Jorrvaskr (Kodlak's room)
4 Solitude Blue Palace (Jarl's room)
5 Solitude Proudspire Manor (must be purchased for 25 000 gold)(Proudspire Manor can be entered through the patio door using the Solitude Fletcher's key, so the manor does not need to be purchased to obtain this stone.)
6 Riften Mistveil Keep (Jarl's room)
7 Windhelm Palace of the Kings Upstairs (Wuunferth's Room at the end of the hall)
8 Windhelm House of Clan Shatter-Shield

Wood Cutters Method

Yes, you guessed, this is a guide on woodcutting. It is pretty basic but heres a guide.

Locate a woodcutters axe (buy it from a store, or find one lying around) then look for a woodcutting block.
There's one in Riverwood by the mill if you're struggling.
Activate the block and your character will start chopping.
Each 'chop' earns you 2 pieces of firewood, which you can then sell for 5 gold each.
This is a decent way of making money, as 18 blocks of wood(three chopping sessions) will get you 90 gold in total.

Rating: 4/10
Estimated Gold/h: 3600+

Book Dupe Method

Fast travel to Winterhold and head Southwest to the Sightless Pit (DO NOT ENTER THE PIT). Then climb up the mountain a bit and you will find an alter with a skeleton on it. Take the shield in front of it and the skeleton will come alive with two others behind it. kill them and search the skeleton that was on the alter. he will have a book on him but don't take it. instead exit and re-loot him there will be two books, exit and re-loot and there will be 3 books and so on can be sold at 19 gold for low levels. repeat until you have as many as you can carry and go and sell them at a store and there you go easy money.
