This guy found a way to hex edit the gold in skyrim hope it helps. http://www.xboxmb.com/forum/21-horizon-suggestions/81581-skyrim-save-editor/5.html#post790634
sell dragon bones and skin, i have so much that whenever i need money, i just go to my chest and get a bunch of those and go all around skyrim selling them
Doing Dark Brotherhood quests is great money, also smithing is amazing money. Smithing protip: use the atronoch forge instead of wasting a perk point.
http://youtu.be/qvsgbE04WY4 This is the glitch I was talking about, I haven't tried it I did the hex edit. lol
I made all my money from training alchemy :S best potion i found so far is giants toe and wheat. The potion for me anyway is worth like 1200 gold.
If you wanna do it legit, and it's the beginning of the game, go to RiverWood and chop wood and sell it, if you let your guy chop it for a little bit you can get 100 gold in like 1 min
if you go into a shop with a big jug, or basket, you can pick up the basket, and place it over the shopkeepers' head(s), and loot everything from the shop, youll probably have to sell the goods to the dark brother hood or theives guild though.
Here : JK, JK, dont be jelly. either way if you dont want to hex edit just go to that skeleton who drops the book, ea time, here is the vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjTOF2krun4
