Please read this before going on: If there is any thing that is directed to a certain player on the forums, that is because I posted this to reply to a topic in the wrong direction. Although this can help players, I decided to post this in General Discussion for a guide.
A tip to start gold production is first to lower your tax percentage to 0%. You'll know later on why. Next you want to build around 3-4 cottages and raise them to the highest level they can. They can get to higher levels by raising your castle up. Once your buildings are done and upgraded, wait for your population to rise. Your happiness will raise, which will make lots of people come live in your city. Once you got it to the max (1hour of waiting or so) raise the tax to 100%. Do this for two hours. You'll earn 3k or more every time you do this.
Another way is to research lot's of level 1 stuff. You'll earn 6k-7k depending on what you research. How do you earn the gold? From quests. Quest are a good way to get gold.
Another way which is probably the way to get the most is to look for what people need the most. Spend 5 minutes saying "Trading resources for gold" and see what most players want the most. You could also see what people are trading gold for. If most people say stone, build lots of quarries and upgrade them to the highest level you can. Wait over night and you should get 8k or more per hour. You'll have around 100k or more stone over night. Find a loyal person in your alliance and trade him the stone for gold. You'll be able to earn a lot more by trading then the others.
To trade you need to build a rally point and lots of supply troops. Once then, ask your alliance the coords for their city. Make sure you do the same for them. Click March troops to the coords listed, and then click transfer. Don't click attack. Select the amount of troops to send. (If you're trading 10k gold, select the troops enough for 12k). Then select how much stone you're going to trade to him. It's okay if it's 13,054 if you're trading 13k stone. It's hard to get it exact. If he doesn't give you back, report him.
To get more resources for faster gold trading, upgrade your castle. If you're in beginners protection, refrain yourself from upgrading to level 5 castle, as people will attack you. Have a storehouse if people try to do that.
Hope this helps, did the best I can.
