Didnt see any guides on here so I figured I would help out anyone having a hard time leveling up
How to level Smithing FastThe quickest way to level Smithing is to make Iron Daggers. Using the Blacksmith in Whiterun, purchase Iron Ingots and the leather too. You can then use these to create Iron Daggers over and over, sell them back to her and then rest 24 hours to repeat the same process. The reason you should use the blacksmith in whiterun is because she and her husband both sell iron ingots and leather and also have seperate inventories!
How to Level Enchantment Fast – Use your iron daggers from smithing for enchanting! It’s just hard to get the soul gems, the fastest way I discovered was checking all the traders (for lesser or petty) in Wintershold College, sleep 24/48h and do it again. Once you have you'r desired ammount of soul gems go find some wolves, foxes, or rabbits(any low level animals work nicely) soul trap them and kill, remember to loot the pelts for extra leather. I found that using the axe of whiterun from the main quest makes this alot quicker because you dont have to bother with soul trapping.
Now you may be wondering what enchantment to use for the best profit, I dont have experience with all the enchantments but i've found that absorb life works well and makes the daggers worth a little over 700 gold(merchants will only pay around half this depending on your speech perks and gear you use)
How to Level Speech Fast - This one is actually very easy, just take the daggers you enchanted and sell them to the various traders around skyrim, however there is one catch, you must sell them 1 at a time to maximise your experience gain because you gain experience per transaction at merchants and selling 100 of something still only counts as one transaction.
Well there you have it, hope this helps some of you, please leave some feedback if you see anything that should be changed or improved.
Oh, I forgot to mention that before doing any training you should find the lover stone, I wont say where to find it but it grants a 15% bonus experience to all skills you train, yes every skill in the game
