Mining and Herbalism are the biggest wow gold makers, but since they share the minimap, I usually will pick mining or herbalism and then pick up Skinning. So instead, pick two gathering professions. The cool thing about gathering professions is that you start making wow gold right away walk up to a mineral vein or a plant or a dead animal and grab those mats! Its 100% profit! And since you are going to be spending a lot of time running around doing quests and killing animals it only makes sense to take advantage of gathering professions.

So you're just starting World of Warcraft, you've picked your race and class (gnome rogues ftw!), and you're at the point where you get to pick two professions. You might say to yourself oooh I'm a rogue so Ill get leatherworking so I can make my own armor! I'm a warrior so Ill get blacksmithing so I can make my own weapons! OK just stop right there n00b! Let me tell you a little secret about all those cool crafting professions for you to make wow gold.

Hold onto it and see what its worth on the Auction House. If you can sell it to the vendor for 25s but sell it on the AH for 50syouve just doubled your profit!Also, items with grey text are vendor trash, meaning you sell them to a vendor. ALWAYS pick up the vendor trash at your level every little bit counts. If its WHITE text, that means its used in a profession somehow. Don't laugh at 50s profit either do that 1000 times (which you will do this 1000s of times in this game) that's 500 wow gold!
