Power leveling is rather easy in this game once you know what your doing, there are several different skills that you can power level with relative ease. I don't own any video in this solution, they are just video representation of the guide.
First of all Sneak- Sneak is first on the list because it has a glitch in the opening sequence that allows you to achieve rank 100 in about 10-20 min. all you need to do is play out the opening scene till your running from Alduin through Helgen. Get to the point where you choose between Rolof(stormcloak) and the Imperial. Go with Rolof into the keep and grab an iron dagger off of the dead body there. Wait for the imperials to come after you and kill them. MAKE SURE you grab the key to the door in the room off the dead body but DONT unlock the gate. Rolof will then set up in a attack position next to the locked door go into sneak mode and begin to stab him in the back. it will take several stabs at first but get to level 2 by raising sneak and one handed then use the skill point you get on the first perk in the sneak tree. Now stabbing him in the back will level up sneak very fast. In about 15 minutes sneak will be at 100 and one handed at about 30. If you then legendary sneak and start over you can level infinitely doing this.

Faendel the Archer- Archery can be leveled early in the game as well on a much smaller scale. In the first town you reach Riverwood there is an archer name Faendel that asks you to help him win over a girl in the market by screwing over a guy named sven. He will ask you to give her a note from Sven. If you tell her its from Sven then Faendel will become available as a follower. Once he is your follower you can ask him to train you in Archery 5 times per level. Do the training and then ask him to trade a few things with you and take back your gold. Rinse and repeat every time you level up in the beginning till he cant teach you anymore(lvl50). You can use this method with Aela the Huntress in the Companions as well if your far enough into that storyline. She trains you till lvl75.
Note: The thief stone will give you a 20% boost to this skill and also if you sleep in an owned bed and get the well rested bonus you will get another 10% bonus to all skills for 8 hours.
Muffle- The first Spell trick on the list is for illusion. Early in the game you can get a spell called Muffle from Faarengar in Dragonsreach. All you need to do is cast it whenever and wherever you are. You can just sit in the corner and cast muffle for an hour if you please and it will raise your Illusion skill very Quick.
Note : Use the Mage Stone for a 20% boost to experience in magic and also sleep in an owned bed for a 10% boost to all skills. If you find your running out of Magicka and hate the waiting, just wait 1 hour and it will refill the bar. Rinse Repeat

Soul Trap- The next spell to talk about is for the conjuration skill. The soul trap spell is the easiest way to level your conjuration. Another spell that can be bought fairly early on from Faarengar in Dragonsreach. All you need to do is kill something in the wild and i mean anything. once it is dead just cast the soul trap spell on it over and over again until you get to your desired level in conjuration.
Note : Use the Mage Stone for a 20% boost to experience in magic and also sleep in an owned bed for a 10% boost to all skills. If you find your running out of Magicka and hate the waiting, just wait 1 hour and it will refill the bar. Rinse Repeat
Lockpicking This is by far the most boring skill to level but a very effective one. The easiest way that i have found to level this is by going into a city at night and just picking the lock of everyone's house. This is made much easier if you have the skeleton key by completing the thieves guild and nightingale quests but either way lock picks are not that expensive.
Note: Use the thief stone for a 20% boost as well as sleeping in an owned bed for the 10% well rested bonus.
Alteration The spell were gonna use for Alteration is the Candlelight spell. This spell can also be obtained from Faarengar in Dragonsreach. Just cast this as you walk around cities and even out in the wild to level alteration as you go. Very Simple to level 50 the find the Detect life spell
Note : Use the Mage Stone for a 20% boost to experience in magic and also sleep in an owned bed for a 10% boost to all skills. If you find your running out of Magicka and hate the waiting, just wait 1 hour and it will refill the bar. Rinse Repeat

Restoration This skill has a lot of ways to level quickly and its an invaluable skill to have at 100 because well who doesn't need heals. By far the coolest way to level this is to buy the equilibrium spell and fast healing spell. cast equilibrium in one hand and a heal in the other. Equilibrium takes health away for magicka and the heal will do the exact opposite. Also going up the skill tree on restoration can even make it were you can go afk and not die. This method works till lvl75. At 75 just get the circle of protection spell from the Restoration mage in the college of Winterhold and continually cast it over and over again to power level the remaining 25 levels.
Note : Use the Mage Stone for a 20% boost to experience in magic and also sleep in an owned bed for a 10% boost to all skills for 8 hours.

Pickpocket This will either be the easiest for you or the hardest based on how early you do it in the game. Get thrown into jail in Riften (It has to be RIFTEN). Once in jail you will lockpick your way out of your cell and kill the guards in the prison. On the top floor of the prison across from your cell you will see a prisoner standing at his door just go into sneak and pickpocket him (if you fail it doesnt matter just try again). All you have to do is steal all of his inventory and then put it back on him and rinse and repeat.
Note: Use the thief stone for a 20% boost as well as sleeping in an owned bed for the 10% well rested bonus. Also this is a great way to get the achievement for breaking out of jail.

Smithing The easiest way to raise this skill is to buy all the leather and leather strips from all the blacksmiths you see and make leather bracers. They cost 1 leather and 2 leather strips and are the most affective way to level up quick. you can also buy the iron and do iron daggers for 1iron ingot and 1 leather strip.
These are some of the ways that i know how to power level in this game. If you like the guide thanks and if not i don't really care i did it hoping it would help some pour soul stepping into the world of Tamriel for the first time. I want to state again that i dont own any of the content in the videos they are just ways for a visual learner to get the same out of the guide as a reader. Fus Fei Yoh
