I’ve been flipping Lava Beetles, but it seems like most DF items are pretty market capped rn due to people having 30k items listed at the same price.
I then tried gathering herbs for a couple hours and make around 2kish or so. I got in on the DF XPAC pretty late so I didn’t get that nice early boost from purely farming herbs.
BoE drops seem to sell for an avg of 60g on Tich so that’s not very profitable.
I see posts with people well over a million gold and I’m at 14,000g and have been intentionally trying not to spend money. Just wondering if someone could give me some pointers.

…what??
Weren’t these like 9s about an hour after DF launched?? You can farm for 30mins and get like 100 of them and you hardly need any at all.

I have herbing and mining and mostly just sell the mats from those. I sold some combatant gear form other toons earlier and did pretty well with that until the market got flooded. I seem to be doing okay but the prices are slowly dropping.
Mine were sitting around 70s and i was able to flip them back up to 1g before someone bullied me out of the market selling like 17,000 of them at 98s
The reality, you never have enough gold in WOW to satisfy you. As the expansion is progressing, things are deemed of less value.
Dirt piles will get you up there fast.
Fishing has paid pretty well.
Grinding mats for professions. Rousing A/F/E etc.
World quests.
Time –
Getting a job would probably be the best way.

But to be constructive:
Writhebark still sells well. And you can target-farm it.
Khaz’gorite is still good… but you CAN’T target-farm it. It’s just RNG.
And… everything else is like 10g now. Even Draconium is like 12g.
People saying “herb/mine” must be happy to make 3k a week. Which… is nothing in modern WoW.
With the two exceptions I listed, nothing else is worth jack.
edit: Yes-- the Awakened/Rousing that comes from herb/mine is good. But… it’s much more of a trickle until you can overload them.
You took the words out of my mouth! 
Dragonriding races, augment runes, and 2 gatherers are my go to. Have one gather specced into elementals and the other specced into processing to turn low quality mats to higher ones. Requires no start up funds except what you might spend on gathering equipment and treatises. Sell raw elementals and process everything you can to the highest quality.
I assume fishing/feasts are still good, because they are required for most endgame content.
And people tend to skimp on the cooking/fishing for other professions, falsely thinking cooking isn’t worth it. It has many beneficial buff food items, as well as some silly ones.
I remember raking it in during Wrath and MoP thanks to those raid feasts. Also, food for tanks, like that lobster thing from TBC lol.
Hell, I remember getting my mount in Vanilla through selling Savory Deviate Delights.
Cooking always made money. Along with fishing, it’s a more “forgotten” profession.

if you have alchemy, sell the phials you get from experimenting
I made a lot of gold early on Lunkering and skinning, one of the hides was going for 700G each.
Unless you’re out of Artisans mettle because alchemy for some ungodly reason requires you to burn mettle to learn recipes

But it’s all relative.
When the Cold Tuna was 140+g per fish, and now it’s like 18g…
yeah, you still “make money.”
But is it worth your time? Almost everything has cratered in the last week or so to the point of I might have been making 50k a week and now it’s like 8k. Like in the period of 4 days, about a week ago, the bottom just fell out of EVERYTHING.
On my server processing lower quality mats into higher is a massive loss because the difference in price between the tiers is generally non existent.
Buy low sell high. Not just for tradeskill mats either. Need to understand the market tho.
just sold a bunch of fish for around 30k…the ice hole tuna…but it was like over 800 of them .
other than that, just playing the game, killin…lootin…vendin…usually net about 400-1k gold each vending session, depending on the time in between…and what i been doin
I’d argue that’s most professions now.
The “big profit” items have fallen off a cliff, and now you’ve gotta get by, by selling reagents.
Idk, I still make good money selling the meats that drop off mobs, used for cooking. Maybe people aren’t grinding them enough, so it could be a nice niche market.
I never seem to have that problem, but you have a good point
