I have mining and herb but are at extremely lower levels which is a possible reason why i dont have as much gold.
While mining and herbing are some of the highest gold-makers, there is a very annoying drawback: you constantly have to shift from detecting mining-nodes to detecting herbing-nodes and back. A more convenient combination of money-makers would be mining/skinning or herbalism/skinning. But that is just a preference that sprouts from laziness.
Regarding to the low levels: like Friar says, up those skills and you will see your gold skyrocket. Always keep your gathering skills up to or even above the level of nodes that are in your current questing areas. And these days there is a huge plus to the moneymaking from gathering: the pre-Burning Crusade ores/herbs/leathers are selling for huge gold these days because there are loads of level 70-80 players that are picking up the crafting skills that need those mats.
(for example, on my server, rugged leather sells for 55-75 gold per stack of 20; thorium ore for 75-90 gold per stack of 20)
