Ok I have 3 80s almost 4 and the most gold any one of them has is around 3K. My main is a max Alch / Herb transmute master, primary alt is a ench / tailor (round 430) and finally a 435 JC with max mining. In the same order they are a fury warrior, frost mage and frost DPS DK. knowing that what would be the best way to gain gold fast? Please leave any tips and tricks you use to make gold faster. Thanks.

There are numerous ways to make gold, and all I can say is: learn to use your professions to the max, and learn your AH, it all depends on your server!
Here's a few things to look for: Are you transmuting a cardinal ruby daily and cutting it with your JC? Easy gold right there. Is there a flask market at the start of the week? If so, it wouldn't hurt to make those on your alchemist as well. How about bags? As tailorer they're a very big source of income if you can get cheap mats of the AH.
Enchanting scrolls also tend to sell well on some servers...
Point is, learn your market, see where the "holes" are in it, and abuse that to make gold, it's how I do it.

This.
Sorry, had to.
Well, best way i've found out is questing and grinding stratholme & selling all the loot. (enchanter for DE'ing stuff wouldn't hurt.) You might also get a mount from stratholme. ^^

Do all your 80's have

? I make as much as 1000 gold a day on a fresh 80 just working my way through skipped quests in the Northrend zones.

If you want to go the quest route you can just do 25 dailies (Icecrown: KotEB, Argent Tourney, Ymirheim + Storm Peaks: (Argent Tourney extended if you're a crusader), Sons of Hodir, Brunnhildar Village (only one quest here but it's in the area).
Do the entire round on all your 80s, especially the tournament ones. Use champion's seals to buy pets and sell them on the AH (or neutral AH, use a low level alt parked in BB or Gadget). Use mining or herbalism you might have constantly along the way. Sell all mats. Make sure you do your daily transmute of an epic gem every day (even buying the mats it's an easy 100+ gold a day for doing next to nothing, more if you get procs)
Doing the entire round on your 80s takes quite a long time. I wouldn't do it every day unless you just have nothing else to do, but it's a ton of gold.

You have every major moneymaking craft in the game barring Inscription, use them to your advantage !
Buy uncut epic gems from PvPers (they get them for 10k honor), cut them and sell them on the AH. Learn all the cardinal rubies recipes (do NOT use tokens to buy dragon's eyes !) first, then move on to the good blues (sta/spi) and yellows (int/crit/haste), then purple and orange and don't bother with most of the Eye of Zuls
Cutting epic gems can net from 10 to 30 gold profit per gem depending on your buy price, and you should sell at least 100/week if you're not lazy
Use your transmutes every day, cut the gems and sell them. Transmute meta gems and cut them, obtain/buy all the PvP cuts (use a Recipe List addon to track what cuts you need to learn and how to learn them). The hard to get PvP metas can sell for 50-100g profit, but you won't sell a lot. Metas like Chaotic Skyflare sell like hotcakes but for the same profit as an epic gem
Don't bother with flasks, on most servers only elixir masters can make profits off them.
Make spellthreads and sell them on the AH (depends on your server, both sell very well but mats prices differ, you can make 50-100g profit); make FW bags and sell them (10-30g profit), make a Glacial every week and sell it (100-300g profit).
General rule : don't waste time farming mats, buy them cheap off the AH, sell the crafted items for a profit. Farming raw materials is the WoW equivalent of a Mcjob, you'll burn yourself out for very little profit. Pick them up when you see them while doing something else, sure, but don't go out of your way. Ideally, the only travelling you'll do should be from the AH to the mailbox, and from the mailbox to the AH.
For enchanting : if mats are cheap buy them and sell scrolls, if mats are expensive then disenchant items and sell mats.
General rule for gems and scrolls : learn what are the best gems/enchants for each archetype (tank/healer/caster/melee) and craft those. don't bother with gems that only benefit one class/spec (profits may be huge but opportunity is low).
You'll spend a lot of time initially getting to know your market and its trends, but once you do it's pure profit from there on. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. I have the same professions you have and make thousands of gold every week, but from hundreds of small profit transactions, not one big magic payload.

Wow thank you everyone. looks like I'm headed back to the torny, I kinda left it alone after getting crusader on my main, and I should probably start transmuting gems again only this time to sell not keep this was a lot of help.

While it takes some ramp-up time, the tourney is an awesome source of money. Once you've unlocked the quests from the Crusade and your faction's quest-givers (not the city, but the Sunreavers or the Alliance counterpart), you're looking at roughly 11 quests per day, most of which are in Icecrown.
I'm pretty certain you can also pick up a few of the dailies from your faction's air ship, and double-up on a couple of the quest areas.
