Best way to manage your money is to not be sucked into the auction house trap. You'd be surprised how much gold you accumulation, even at lower levels, if you're not constantly scanning the AH for upgrades.
Weapons and armour upgrades are not as critical at lower levels than higher levels, so save your money for a week and quest and run instances during that week. Not only will you gain upgraded gear from instances or quest rewards, but you'll keep your gold in your pocket too!
It goes withought saying that you should leave your professions alone also, as that too is a money-sink.
I'm absolutely guilty of getting sucked into that trap, now that I think about it. I'll make sure to keep that in mind from now on and stop by the AH much less frequently.
As far as professions go, I'm Skinning/Tailoring. I won't lie, the tailoring is the other major contributor to my broke-ness. But, I'm trying to level it so that I can make myself a set of Shadoweave armor. I also have the pattern to make the Admiral's Hat and the Black Swashbuckler's Shirt, which I'm hoping I can use as sort of a business venture when I hit a higher level.
My advice for gold making with tailoring is bags,wedding dresses, and tuxedos. I make decent gold making wedding dresses for people who want to enter battlegrounds in them :)
either of those 3 do ok on my server (Kahz mohdan). I have been playing for just over a year now and I give wow 4/5. With so many options I want to try it all, so I have no characters that are end-game quality. I have never done Onyxia or been to the outlands. So I kinda feel like the experienced noob.
