Stay consistent... Or???

Or what?  I guess I hit the million mark and fell of the milk truck, I still have the goal to grow it up, but atm, RL and lack of interest in continuing is just not there atm.  To me it was a learning process like the blog, and like falling of the milk truck with the gold making I have fallen off the turnip truck on the blogging.  Both were largely personal and processes I set out to achieve.  I did both, currently the markets are largely unchanging in the big games IMO... the big games being the 4.3 patch that took me from 10K liquid to 1Million in 10 days.  (that was with about 350K invested and flipped into materials in preparation for it)  however the point remains that I could not likely make the same returns on time like I did in that 10 days... I am playing with several markets as I can and it amuses me.. I still have a ton of tankard of terrors to offload, and they are slowly at a nice profit... like about 300%... bought em for 500 and under, or maybe it was less and I sell a few weekly at 1K-1500 each... I still play at crafing maelstroms and heavenly shards w/ DEing the capes from FL... it amuses me but is hardly worth the time... I am also grinding out for a couple pets and mounts w/ the valentines day event, also it amuses me to get em, hold em and sell em in a few months... Otherwise, I consistenly raid, and consistently buy anything I want... I dont want mounts or pets, or other (IMO) crap that does not feed my raid habbits, or the raiders in the group I lead.. they get UGs, I take the raiding main and cut gems and enchats stuff on the spot... That tarded Bear is a JC chanter... I also buy piles and pile of fish feast mats for my own use, again with the raid group...  I however usually steal the flasks for the cauldrons from the Gbank... I made a 50K deposit and have repeatedly passed on other mats and gold to cover what I take for our group...

Now, I am rambling...

Consistency... I have always come back to raiding, having a million (1.1+ really) alows me to ensure I never have to worry about raiding consumables... for gear enhancements, feasts or cauldrons... Having more... sorta pointless... other than to brag more about it...

Consistency... It was a ONE YEAR JOURNEY... to 1 million, or close too.  It was engineered with the first toon at level 1, the first one I rolled on the server.  I had abandoned all 6 level 80s on the other server... Though when I started, I was not looking for the million marker, I was looking for more than I previously had...

Consistency... With reasonable consistency, I continued to post and work through  various thoughts in the blog, many post were me musing and discovering for myself various aspects of the goblin empire.

Consistency... Read other blogs, and follow and contribute to the community... Some of the greatest things that I did to make gold, the ideas came from directly or were brought back to my imediate attention by reading blogs... like crushing BS crafted gear for heavenly shards... and also the trick of making maelstroms from DEing the vendor epics at Firelands... all from consistent reading in the blogs of the community... many toy projects were played up by information gleaned from blogs, it was the blogs that really got me to make the jump and start some cross faction work, it was profitable, but more work or time than I wanted to consistently expend...

Consistency.. in data sources, the ones you use must be current and updated regularly with current market conditions... This was a big time investment a couple times, as I built from scratch, a couple spreadsheets in Open Office to calculate numbers for one reason or another... It can also be simply regularly (daily or more often) scanning the AH w/ auctioneer....

The Or???  part
Take your pick, It was one year of pretty steady consistency, to make the numbers... there were some slows and some consistently lower activity cycles, but planning for a big content patch.. thats some money...
