You might want to talk with an enchanter on your server about that. Generally speaking however, enchanting for others (especially for profit) is a horribly frustrating and entirely unrewarding pursuit.

i don't think there are many enchants that people will buy at 226, you are better off offering your own enchants for free with their mats.

Before you start enchanting for others, ask yourself a few questions:

Are you doing it for the gold, are you doing it to help friends/guildies, or are you doing it to level your skill?

If you are attempting to enchant others for the gold, then resign yourself to remaining poor. At best, you only get a 10% return on investment, and at worst you'll end up getting ripped off by thankless boors. The way to make gold from enchanting is to treat it as a gathering profession and sell mats on the AH.

If you are doing it to help your friends and guildies, a loss is probably acceptable. Minimize your losses by asking them to provide most of the materials.

If you are doing it to level your skill, enchanting on yourself is the best way to go. If you must enchant others, don't do it with mats from your backpack, EVER! Let your customers supply the mats. If they can't afford the mats at current prices, then they don't deserve the enchant in the first place.

On my enchanter, I have a friend that is a jewelcrafter and he makes rings to level up and gives them to me to disenchant. I then level up enchanting with them, and I'll give enchants away free to low level toons I see near me. They always appreciate it and I got the mats for free myself, so it's not like I'm out any gold.

I agree with most parts,

just use those you need to lvl and the rest you sell at AH
The price for an enchant (so without ur mats) is sometimes 2g or whatever but most people know somebody who knows somebody etc etc

The money maker for enchanting is really selling the mats you get from items, i send all green+ items too my (dis)enchanter tgo disenchant, unless ofc. i can use it in some way
