When you get a profession, life becomes much much much easier.
Since your a Dwarven Paladin, Mining and Blacksmithing is a great choice.
And since your a dwarf, there are great options for you in terms of making money. Early on Wendigos offer great things while demanding little. They can be skinned. They almost always drop money and cloth.
The real key is finding your own money making area however. Humanoids always drop good coin, and linen cloth. Linen cloth is your best little friend early on. It sells for a great price, and sells even better once you find an auction house.
Also, early levels don't see to much of the silvers. You'll really start getting some nice coinage around level 14+, when good (green) items are semi-frequent.
So basically, low level characters look for humanoids, and wherever gets you the best deals. Everyone finds a certain hunting zone of their preference, where they can maximize the most out of a small area.
Also, never underestimate the auction house. It is your best friend. An example: I found an alchemy recipe that require an alchemy skill of 70. It could be sold for a vendor for 4 silver or so. I put that bad boy up in an auction house, walked out with a jingling of 2 whole gold pieces.
The auction house (when accessible), is sorta like the WoW stock market. If you study the trends carefully, you can make a huge profit and have few losses. But if you aren't careful, you won't gain much.
Some tips for the auction house: Hold onto any recipes you can't use, they sell like wildfire at the auction houses.
Supplies for production professions (Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Alchemy, Tailoring) often sell well. However, the key is to see what is selling. If there are hordes of light leather on the market and they are being auctioned off like crazy, join in. But if another product, say linen cloth, ain't selling to well, don't waste your time.
Auction during peak hours. Thats usually afternoonish around your realm, when most players are on. You can get the best deals when everyone is rushing in and out.
I could write a tome on this...
