This basically means that you become a general for the faction you joined, command troops, and fight your factions' enemies with your army you command.
Three best ways of making money early I have found: 1) Trading. Check the factions on the outskirt of the map (everyone but Khergits and Swadia essentially) and access the trade. Don't start trading until you find a profit of 200 denars or higher. This is a slow, but effective way to gain money quickly.
Mercenary Captain . On random occasions, asking for a task from someone when you are not part of a faction will make the quest giver offer you a mercenary contract. The contract will run for three months, and after that you can extend it on a monthly basis. Your wages vary depending on the quantity and quality of your troops.
