You want money amigo? Than look no further than my five step plan for getting rich quickly:

1. Get a nice sharp dagger/Axe/Arrows and a bow/ or just prepare your spells.

2. Go out into the big wide land of SKyrim and plunder any ruins you come across, bandit camps, dwemer ruins, decaying forts full of wizards. Clear them out. If you see a dungeon then enter it without hesitation.

3.Take everything that isn't nailed down; as much as you can carry. Prioritise the expensive stuff like weapons, armour, gems, etc. If you find that you have collected every worthwhile thing in a dungeon and you still have room in your backpack then collect the small, less valuable stuff like pots and pans and misc items; obviously working your way down from most expensive to least expensive. (Companions are great for carrying loot too, just make sure they don't die)

4.Haul your loot back to the nearest city and sell it all. The only thing you shouldn't be selling is your weapon of choice and armour (Basically what you were using to clear out hostiles) and anything you found which is worthwhile keeping. (Put these into storage, otherwise haulling them around willl only add to your weight).

5. Repeat

Soon you wil be swimming in gold AND power as your insatiable hunger for plunder leads you to increase your combat skills.
