It’s pretty easy to make gold on low levels, if you go with the right professions.  The easiest professions with which to make some gold are Herbalism and Mining.  You can get quite a bit of gold by selling ore and herbs at the auction house.  Not only is the one of the best ways to collect gold at the lower levels, but can continue to be useful on higher levels as well.  One thing I will recommend is, before you start, download the Gatherer addon, to make is easier to keep track of all the discovered ore and herbs.
