How To Make A Bank Alt in World of Warcraft

There are many different ways to play the Auction House, with this article you should be able to make enough gold for all of your Cataclysm needs, the first step is a Bank Alt.
Why Should I Make a Bank Alt?
Well, if you're happy farming mobs and Volatiles for 150 gold per hour then you won't need a Bank Alt. Bank alts are for the people who wish to take their gold making to the next level. Let's say you just hit level 85, you farmed some Player vs Player gear, you played the Rated Battle grounds and the Arenas, maybe you even ran a few raids, Then what?
Maybe you're new to the game and just started your first character and wants to make enough gold for a mount at level 20, and some nice Binds on Equip gear while leveling.
Or you're just a casual player that wish to make more gold in the game for which ever reason there is.
Everyone needs gold, and that's a fact. Some people find making gold through the Auction House a bit of a challenge, some do it for the rush, and some do it because they need gold. I'm personally a bit of all the things. If you feel like you need more gold in the game, or a challenge, or if you're a bit bored. Then you need to create a Bank Alt.
How To Make a Bank Alt
The absolute first thing you should do when creating a bank alt is basically just create a new character to store your herbs, ores, potions, enchanting materials, and Binds on Equip gear on.
Don't choose the name that your main character has. For example, if your main character is named Steve, don't create a Bank Alt named Stevebank. If you do this people will be able to know which your main character is and then just check if you're online on either your bank or your main, and if you're not, they logon to their bank alt and just undercut your stuff on the Auction House.
Try making the name a bit personal, such as mine, DiscountDan.
You should make a bank alt for each market you are going into, for example I got 4. One for Glyphs, one for Enchanting Scrolls, One for Low level greens, and one for The rest, blues/epics/ores/bars/ herbs etc.
Get x4 Frost Weave (20 slot) bags, I recommend a personal Guild Bank to store everything in once you get a bit more serious and start making big money. Then you should install the Auctioneer Addon and read up on a few different gold strategies.
