Little sleep and a good plan I guess:P

It's quite simple, the more time you put in it, the faster it goes. Also, Questing is quite slow on release, so just farming Mobs makes it a lot faster. Sleep is a price some people are willing to pay for a chance to get Realm First.

Sharing accounts so more people can play on the same character
Or staying up very late, pulling all nighters. At night it's far easier an faster to quest because there are not as many people online. When I pull all nighters, I make the best progress between 3 and 6 AM because almost every country, regardless of timezone is asleep in those hours.
Continuing questing also adds up progress. I noticed that I make the very best progress after being online for at least an hour. After doing all the things like trips to the AH, profession stuff, training abilities, taking quests, searching for quest zones. Once I get going though, I can complete a zone in a few hours and a zone can be 1-2 levels easy. If I can combine this with a good all nighter, I can do a 70-80 in 3 days max.
The time of the year also helps. In winter there's not much #yoloparty going on so a lot of people come back home and sit at the PC for more hours. In the summer I tend to play very little, but during winter and cold I can easily sit at the PC 14 hours.
Also, the fastest levelers tend to be popular people in well established guilds. If they need a dungeon for 5 quests now, they do a dungeon now. Being a guildless loner will slow down your leveling by a huge margin. I'm only playing with my friend and the difference between playing with him and logging alone is huge.

tl;dr you just sit at the PC for many hours at a time and you level up. There's no super secret about it.

Good plan: grind mobs that have little hp and giving lot of xp. Or run quest like bombing pirates in Wintegarde for 100 times. GG

Questing is slow on release so many people don't do it. A good trick to get a nice head start is to gather 25 max level quests from the previous expansion (such as 70 dungeon quests/isle of quel danas dailies and such, finish them before the release of wotlk and day of release hand them all in. May get you anywhere between 10-20% depending on the quests you did.
Then if they are super organised, they will just have groups for rushing dungens. Geared in tbc.

But as previously someone mentioned, sacrificing sleep is a common one too.
Some people have no jobs and/or in school so they have too much spare time.
