Is making gold with crafting still doable?

Hello! Im a person who usually engages with highish lvls m+ and raiding, and im looking for ways to make gold to support r3 consumables, and enchants for that. Ive never used the new crafting system, but i heard its actually really easy to lose more gold crafting than making it, do you have any tips for someone new to the system, and what profs should i even go with this late to the season?

I know wow token is a thing, and probably what most people in my position do, but as a student paying a box price, sub fee, and a token sounds a bit much. Boosting is one thing, but mythic raid boosting requires a guild willing to do that, and m+ boosting doesnt seem to be worth it anymore outside of title level keys.

I dont expect there to be some cheatcode make gold fast quick now, but even ending slightly on the positive would help a lot. Thank you, and sorry if this is a wrong place for a question like this.
