but since i'm an enchanter , disenchanting and selling the mats would be stupid
Uhh... yeah, my mage is a an enchanter/tailor... and I make butt-loads of money disenchanting stuff and selling mats on AH. I don't see how that's stupid...
Also, look for cheap greens in AH... and then, DE them... and resell the mats... that's how I do it.

I juse used 1000g for dual spec, so i have around 50g now, and my hope of purchasing an epic flyer is getting farther away from me
1-Yes, i saw other posts saying "do quests""disinchent and sell mats"
but since i'm an enchanter , disenchanting and selling the mats would be stupid
2-i'm also a tailor, but i can't seem to level it since around 300 range because i'm running out of frostweave cloth
3-it's sad because i have no money to buy gems... i often get kicked out of raids because i look like another "n00b who doesn't socket and always hope a better item will drop to socket"
4-currently doing BG/H dungeon dailies atm... and i'm making no less than 30g per that because it's hard to find a heroic group nowadays and i don't have that much time to do all three at once because im busy IRL...
5-Questing, although i KNOW it works, is a pain in the S because i got a 60 flyer.. and it's PRETTY slow...
any suggestions?
1-Well, I Enchant and managed to save up for 2 toons to get their epic and cold weather flying and am about to have enough for my third. I make tons of money from disenchanting but only sell enough to make what I need and have enough left over to level enchanting.
2-Need to prioritize, work on money for your lessons if that's more important atm, then work on tailoring (or vice versa). Or just split the time you dedicate to either one.
3-I max out my dailies and make 350 - 500 a day. That's not counting the drops you get while killing mobs when required for the dailies which you can sell or disenchant.
4-I don't get into raiding much so I can't help you there.
5-Questing is a good source for making money and sometimes for getting gear you can either use, sell for a profit or disenchant for mats. If you find it too slow due to your flyer, then use the Flight Master to get from point to point in the mean time.
Aside from this man....you seem to hate doing the very things that are a great source of income so I'm all out of ideas. You could dance for some coins at the bank :)

Well... Let's take a look at the argent tournament shall we?
2 Goblin daily quests: 13g each. 26g a day.
4 valiant daily quests: 13g each. 52g a day.
4 champion daily quests: 23g each (13g + 10 money bag). 92g a day.
total: 170g a day for roughly 45minutes worth of work.
Now let's go ahead and assume you average 20g a day in expenses (potions, repairs, flights, etc.) This leaves you with 150g a day income from those 10 dailies ALONE. Doing JUST those dailies, you could expect to see the 5k gold you need in around a month or so.
That's a very minimalistic example. If you were doing your full 25 dailies a day, and assuming those are all 13g dailies, you'd be looking at ~300g a day income (after expenses) which would drop your time to obtain 5k gold down to 15 days. Even better would be if you're also selling the loot you pick up while doing these dailies, or you get lucky on the fishing dailies a couple times (lots of high-value vendor trash there). That's JUST dailies.
You could take that gold, invest it in the AH, and then exponentially increase your wealth like that, or run instances (if you don't wipe constantly, heroics work out to be a good chunk of gold).
The question isn't how you get the gold, it's how you prevent yourself from spending it once you've made it.

Why'd you waste money on dual spec if you wanted epic flying so bad? Bad money management I would imagine is your problem more than anything. And why is it stupid to sell enchanting mats? What do you want more right now: to level enchanting, or make money for an epic flyer?
Money in this game is very easy to come by, if you find yourself unable to get money, the problem is YOU, and you need to work out why you can't save any money.

I had got mine epic flyer from 3 things: Doing dailies that got me roughly 120g each day (The island back in the day), quests from Northrend while leveling (just consider that more dailies) and alot of patience. Don't go farming out like crazy for a mount only to be burnt and hate the game, just make roughly 100-150g a day and do whatever. Takes time.

ty for the suggestions. except for this guy above me who spazzes out but i have no idea why
i asked for suggestions, not criticsm.
You asked for suggestions. Of course you can't un-buy dual spec, but I was trying to get to see how you wasted money on dual-spec, something which you definitely don't need, as people got along fine without it for four years. I'm trying to help you see how good money management skills will lead to you having lots of money.
For example, if you did have said skills before, you wouldn't even be here asking how to make money.
So, what I would suggest is to take a look at how you spend your money, and if you really need what you spend it on.
I'm not here to coddle you, I'm here to help you see with new eyes and learn for yourself, which is always much more rewarding and beneficial in the end.
