I know of two easy ways to level up:

1. Buy as much iron ore, iron ingots, and leather strips as you possibly can (Go to each hold's blacksmith, wait 2 days and repeat) Then make as many iron daggers as possible. my smithing went from 30-100 in less than an hour and I advanced 10 levels.

2. Go to white river watch (east of whiterun) and kill the two bandits. Go inside the cave and a blind man will ask you if you are his friend. Answer with the friends name. Sneak and move (on pc press c, on console rubber band your controller) After 1-2 hours you should advance 10-15 levels.

For money do quests, steal alot of stuff, and smith high quality armors to sell.

White River Watch

Get money, the warrior Stone, and then make butt loads of iron daggers which will level u up rly quick
