Easy Money
The Wizard's Tower download gives you a new merchant to barter with at The Mystic Emporium in the Market District of Imperial City. She has 2000 gold to barter with and she sells a Strong Potion of Absorption for 2000+ gold. Buy the Strong Potion of Absorption and then use the Arrow Clone trick to clone it as many times as you want. Then, you just turn around and sell the potions right back to her for massive cash. Cloning stuff and selling it back isn't a new trick, but this is an easy way to make a ton of money right at the start of the game (provided you have enough cash to buy the potion in the first place). Tested on Xbox 360.

Easy Level Up
In Leyawiin you get a quest called "Whom Gods Annoy" about a woman (Rosentia Gallenus) who has an item called the Staff of the Everscamp. It causes 4 scamps to follow her around constantly. The game repeatedly tells you to not kill them because it is pointless (they keep respawning) but that just means you can keep killing them and leveling up your attacks. You can also cast a low level destruction spell (3 damage is the sweet spot) or Soul Trap on them which causes them to attack you. They are so weak that you can just stand there and let them hit you in order to build up your Light/Heavy Armor, Block, and your Armorer since you'll have to repair your stuff every minute or so. You'll have to heal every now and then, but the scamps are pretty wimpy. Tested on Xbox 360.

Fun With Corpses
Everyone laughs about how when you kill something it can roll down a hill forever. But what I like to do is cast a lightning spell on my fallen enemies. If you hit the right spot it will send them flying high into the air. This way you can put dead bodies on rooftops and get them stuck in trees and all sorts of funny stuff. Tested on Xbox 360.

The Frostcrag Tower Upgrade
Tons of cool stuff here, but I suggest you check out your vault. Look around at the back wall, you'll find two tombstones that are very useful. One gives a bottle of Daeadra Lava Ale, it catches you on fire, heals you, and summons a Daedra Lord. The other gives a once a day use spell that gives you +15 mercantile, speechcraft, personality. Great for when your going to go sell or need to do a quest that involves raising someones disposition! Good Luck.

Quick and Easy Sneak Skills
When starting the quest for Armond accept the quest then simply go behind him, go into sneak mode and loot him. This does not give you a bounty and Armond does not care, he simply replies take it I dont need it.

Easy Gold and Merchant Skills
For easy gold and merchant skills simply get on a horse and go Kvatch. Get on the horse and equip a fairly decent weapon, then go to the orc with cornrows and sell the sword, it will not sell the sword but it will give you the 200 gold each time (depending on if its worth 200). Do this over and over again for easy gold and easy merchant skills. As far as I know you can do this as many times as you want.

Sneak Attack Enemies more than once
You can sneak attack enemies more than once even when they are alarmed. Just get out of their sight and don't make noise. Most easily it is accomplished when attacking from a large distance with a bow. Chameleon and invisibility spells are also very useful for this purpose, but don't rely fully on them, because you can be detected even when you are invisible.

Collect Ninroot and go to the Elvin Ruins
After escaping from the prison sewers cross the lake, there you will find the Elven Ruins, somewhere near them you will find a plant called 'nirnroot'. Collect it and you will receive a new quest, which will require you to travel to the city of Skingrad to the southwest, east of Kvatch where the Oblivion Gates have opened. After collecting the nirnroot don't pursue this quest at once, rather go into the Elven Ruins.
In their depths you will find Ayleid statue. Sell it and you will have a chance to receive a quest. A courier will go looking for you with an invitation to visit a collector of such statues in the Imperial City. If you manage to meet with the courier you will receive this quest. I met him near Weynon Priory after I sold the statue in Chorrol.
