First time trying to twink, is lvl 10 twink doable on free trial account?

Basically all in the title.
I have a main account, where I have characters leveled to max, geared and gold. But I thought it might be a "reasonable" idea to make a new account and have my twink there, in case I want to boost a new alt quickly and pain free. Is it even doable (without paying for the new acc), considering no chromie time and probably many other hold ups I don't know about, or do I have to take my twinking desires to my main acc?
 
you can, it will just take some preparation. but I believe you will be able to do it!!!
ill give you two ways of doing this without trying to scrounge up 10 gold before hitting level 10 (which you could probably do btw), the frowned upon way and the approved way. I'll give you the approved way first, then the frowned upon way next.

approved way:
on your main account, acquire items that can transfer gold without trading. here are some examples
https://www.wowhead.com/item=116392/big-bag-of-booty#sold-by
https://www.wowhead.com/item=116359/magnificently-painted-egg#sold-by
once you have acquired these items, park your main character at the stormwind gates.
make your character on the f2p account and level through exiles reach. once you finish exiles reach, you should be infront of the stormwind gates at level 10. invite your f2p toon with your main, then you can give the gold to the f2p toon. (using big bag of booty, etc etc)

frowned upon way:

this will teach you the frowned upon way. simply do this "trick", and trade x amount of gold needed to your toon on exiles reach. while you're there, you could trade things such as bags or enchants. I don't really care if you do this, because I don't care about "integrity" when it comes to f2p. But others do, beware!!!

if you want to twink to show off your character/achievements, you should be f2p. if you want to twink but don't really care about showing off, just want the "experience of making a twink", you should be a vet. just my opinion though

If you create a new linked account (WoW1), you can skip the Legion Dalaran intro for 5 Tomes of the Clear Mind and just vendor them for 35g. Else, you can plant a Blingtron 5000 on your main account, and vendor the gift items on your linked account for 10g+.

There really isn't a reason to make a brand new account under a new e-mail other than for the challenge, because you can have up to 8 linked Free Trial/Starter accounts, and all of them will inherit Chromie Time and your account-wide mount/transmog collections. You can add a starter edition by following the instructions at the bottom of this page - https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/11555
 
thank you both for the reply. as i am fairly new to twinking, i'll put the truly f2p account on the backburner for now, and ease a bit into things with a linked f2p account.
