I sat down and made 125 potions or so last night in about 20 mins and levelled to 40 in alchemy, then went around WhiteRun and made about 6000 gold. I'm unmarried and lycanthropic so I get no resting bonuses, but I did turn on the Lover's Stone. I already have 2 fully outfitted houses, and I'm carrying about 30000 gold.
I've got Soul Stealer on my ebony bow and my Skyforged sword so I just buy every empty soul gem I come across and buy out the entire inventory from the Alchemists whenever I come accross them. With my enchanting currently @ 89 I'm using all the daggers I have left over from leveling my smithing to 100, and I sold the daggers one at a time to Warmaiden's to level my speech to 100 and kept the extras to enchant. With Dibella's amulet giving +15% and the 10% better prices from the opposite sex perk I get really good deals.
