What increases speech in Skyrim?
The speech skill increase depends on the base value of the item traded or the difficulty of the bribe or persuasion. When selling items, it is not actually required to receive any gold, only that the transaction takes place. The skill increase only occurs once per transaction.
If you have a large amount of gold saved up, you can sell and re-buy your most expensive items, which, bearing the markups in mind, will leave the merchant with a massively increased stash of gold for puchasing. Then, you can sell huge amounts of items - remembering to do so one at a time - to level up your Speech.
The Blessing of Dibella can be gained for eight real-time hours by praying at a Shrine of Dibella. The blessing Fortifies Speech by 10 points. The Gift of Charity can be gained for one real-time hour in multiple ways, for example by giving money to a beggar. It fortifies Speech by 10 points.
Fortify Speech and Barter allow for more items to be purchased for a given amount of gold, which increases skill gains. Successful Persuade, Intimidate, and Bribe attempts in conversations will also increase the skill. Barter with skill trainers that sell items (trainer-merchants).

But what's the maximum level you can achieve in Skyrim? Since the addition of Legendary skills, players can now level up indefinitely in Skyrim. However, if you plan to unlock every single perk available for your character, you'll need to restart any skill tree 164 times, achievable by reaching level 252.
All characters level up their skills at the same speed with use, and as such you're able to, eventually, reach the maximum level of 100 in every skill tree. Speaking of which, each individual skill has it's own skill tree that grants various Perks to the player.
Perk limit
There are 251 perks in the game. Originally, there was a level cap of 81, which meant a maximum of 80 perks could be acquired. As of patch 1.9, this limit has been lifted with the addition of Legendary Skills. This addition grants the ability to level up past 81 by resetting skills trees back to level 15.

It used to take about 400 iron daggers to level up to 100. Now it takes about 2400 iron daggers.
