Each week you can recruit a scavenger (and the +gold after 6.1) to fill up your followers roster over time without having to put any effort into it. With the correct addons, completing all and sending new missions will take you roughly 1.5mins. This is making me anywhere from 300-1.5k per char per day depending on which missions are up and completion RNG on the lower chance missions. At worst though it's making you 1.5k per day for like 10mins work without leaving your garrison at best you're probably looking at around 3-4k.
Excess resources you get from these can then be traded in at the TP for whatever is selling well on your AH, usually draenic dust is the best, just wait for a day that it's on sale for 20GR / 5.
Aside from that just run your professions as you are, craft shit and sell it.
