Get auctioneer and buy greens to DE. Then sell the mats. You'll make a lot more money than you have right now. Also go into LFD and hit DE on anything your not needing on. You can also offer Enchanting services to the people you meet in LFD. Use your own mats for that and don't overprice. Breaking even is probably best because what your actually doing is trying to level up your enchanting skill.
Man enchanting is so easy to level now with LFD. Sucks that it was so much harder when I leveled it.
i have auctioneer, just dont know how to use it T_T

It all depends on how progressed your server is. On a low progression server sell mats, on a high progression find a raider to buy mats from and sell scrolls on the AH.
In any case, don't expect to get rich until you max out the profession (375 for DE, 450 for scrolls)
Rare/old enchants sell for more gold but not many people will buy them.
Your best bet is to focus on ubiquitous enchants at first, such as +10/+8 Stats on Chest, Tuskarr's Vitality, and the PvP favorites +22 Res on Chest and +40 STA on bracers. Those are enchants that everyone needs.

I wrote this up over at Tarou's guides, but it fits here. How to make cash Disenchanting. It's just a summary, there is a lot more to it, but this can get you started.
Armor has a 75% chance to create dust, weapons have a 75% chance to create Essence. Usually 20% is for the other dust/essence and 5% on a shard.
For now, let's disregard less than level-10 items, and only talk about under level 60 pre-Burning Crusade items.
Level x1-x5 items make greater essence or a small amount of dust
level x6-x0 items make lesser essences or a larger amount of dust.
Now a real example.
Go to the AH and do an armory search for Armor from level 36-40
These items will drop 2-5 Vision dusts, or occasionally 1-2 Lesser Nether Essence.
Now I'm going to check prices on the auction house. If vision dust is selling at 1 gold each, and lesser nether essence is selling at 2.5 gold each, we can now put a value on a level 36-40 Armor item.
a level 36-40 armor will drop 3.5 vision dust 75% of the time and 1.5 lesser nether essence 25% of the time (I'm leaving shards out for ease of understanding)
So if you bought 100 level 36-40 ARMOR and disenchanted them all, you'd get 75 dust procs... 75 * 3.5 * 1 = 262.5 gold.
you'd get 25 essence procs... 25 * 1.5 * 2.5 (procs * average amount * value) = 93.75 gold
Add them together, and you get 356 gold and 25 silver. That's for 100 items, so that means at these AH prices, a level 36-40 piece of armor is worth 3 gold and 56 silver to you.
If you see someone selling a 36-40 armor item for 2g or less (or whatever your margin is), each one you buy gets you a predictable amount of gold.
You can then extend this into items you can make from other professions if mats are cheap.
So, for dusts, 16-20 strange dust, 26-30 soul dust, 36-40 vision dust, 46-50 dream dust, 56-60 illusion dust. Vision Dust seems to be my best market, and dream dust, the worst. When doing Illusion dust, use auctioneer to look at the ilvl of items. Level 57-60 items, if they're over ilvl 60 are burning crusade items and they'll become Arcane Dust. Make sure you know what your item will become when you disenchant it.
This is tip of the iceberg. You'll need to investigate more of the intricacies yourself. Start with Strange Dust for items 16-20 for a low-risk test.
Also keep in mind that posting Enchanting Materials on the Auction House is no longer free. There is a minimum 1 silver deposit on the AH now.

That is the case because of the age of LK, but you'd be surprised what can make good cash. I'd recommend looking at BoA enchants, even besides crusader, Major Health to chest is incredibly cheap to make, sells very frequently as a scroll, and can be a great way to get from 300-325 (usually cheaper than arcane dust).
The 2 Agility enchants from Timbermaw can make good cash too considering how easy it is to get honored with them now (kills get 20 rep each and 5 feathers/beads are 300 rep).
