The Action house is one of the money makers of WoW.
This can be shown from my experience on Argent Dawn [EU] where my level 15 character owns about 2000 gold and rising.
I can also say that I started working the AH on level 14 and started of with just a few silver or maybe 5g max.
What you will need to work the AH is some Add-ons that help you keep track on current AH prices.
Those can be found on www.curse.com.
Ok so you've got the basics. What is it now you should do?
You just need short peeks on the AH and depending on how much time you have you can check more often. The ideal time vs money is to check onece every 48 hours sell the stuff you've won and bid on new things. You should focus on the items under the trade tab. Those are the once selling quite frequently and the elemental, herbs, ores, cloth, leather, enchanting and gems.
Search the market and sort by bid price, here you can find those deals that make you a profit. Normally there are BO that are according to market but the bid can be 50% less. This turns out to be that you can win one of those bids undercut and still come out with 30-70% higher price and still keeping below market price. Also scan teh market for those low BO prices. it will not get you the high margin but will not let you wait to get the item of choice in your hand. GL

Wildhorn on wowhead says this about Professions and AH.
"Here is the main list of crafted items that will sell well and allow you to make gold.
This is not an absolute list and I didnt post stuff that cost alot to craft. Also, on your server, some other items might sell good too (like on RP servers, some armor sell well because they look cool, even if stats are trash)
I am not responsible of server economy crash after people read this!
Some terms I use:
Social: For people who love to say "Hey, look at me!"

I wont track them all, but you should look for them. Compare material cost - disenchanted material price = profit you will make. (Since LFD, shard price is way too low to be profitable)

- Bolt of Frostweave & Bolt of Imbued Frostweave usually sell for more than raw cloth.

- Bolt of Woolen Cloth for Alliance Quest
====================
General Tips:
- Greedy Goblin Essentials. You can either read them and become a rich goblin or not read them and be a poor M&S
- Do not list your stuff in AH one by one. Put them in stack of 2, 5, 10 or 20. This way most undercutter wont see that you undercut them, but people who buy the stuff will see that your stuff is cheaper.
- Do not undercut by 1 copper/silver. Undercutting by 5-10% make your stuff sell faster because people see a "huge" drop in the price and they think they make a deal.
- Buy gathered material the week-end. M&S farm them weekend, so it increase the supply, so decrease price.
- Sell social items week-end too, because it is at that time they play too.
- Sell consumable/useful crafted items during weekday, tuesday and wednesday are the best. That's the raiders play time.
