For starters, collect and sell stacks of bone chips, spiderling silks, and spider silks. Skeletons also drop heavy items that you can sell for cash immediately in the newbie areas. Flat out ignore the weight AC bonus for the first several levels. Wear any cloth armor pieces that drop.
Once you've scraped together enough, buy Wu's gauntlets for roughly 35pp. If you find mesh or other usable magic gloves on a merchant, buy those. The entire idea is to have magic-affecting fists when you enter your low teens. You can now camp Willowisps. Collect greater lightstones to quest into decent XP and platinum. Sell the regular lightstones for just under 1pp each. You'll have hundreds of platinum after a few days. Kit yourself out in Wu's armor, or better yet, get one or two cheap monk weapons.
Your next camp for coin will be gargoyles. Gargoyle eyes sell for roughly 10pp each, are stackable, and drop up to two at a time. Mistmoore has some near the entry - if you're in your low 20s, you can get some in a group. Otherwise, I think there are some in OOT that are lower level.
Get a decent weight-reducing bag, get into good groups and roll for items that can be sold in EC. This last trick will last through level 60.
