Here are a couple of ideas. You could just take those items that won't sell on the AH and give them away in the newbie areas. They aren't great gear, but it's still better than what most players start out with and it gives you an opportunity to meet some new people and knowing that you helped them out a little bit.
Also...if you skill up by making green items, you could partner with an enchanter (or roll your own) and dis-enchant those items for the reagents. The really low level stuff won't give you much, but later on you will get better dusts and essences. And enchanting reagents do NOT cost any deposit to put on AH, so you can keep throwing them up there until they sell.
Another thing that most professions have is one (or two) items that are required for quests. For LW, there is a Hillman's cloak in South Shore. I remember making quite a few skill points and some extra coin just hanging around that area for a week while I was doing other quests. You can make countless circuits through the yeti cave skinning all the corpses that people are leaving then head back to town and make the cloaks they need for the quest.
Hope some of that helps. Just remember that if professions weren't a bit difficult to level up, then everyone would be doing it and there wouldn't be a lot of point to it.
