Nice guide, but you missed two very, very important means of gold-making: Shipyard and Gem Boutique.
The Shipyard can sometimes net you hefty amount of gold, but is a pain to set up. Once it's done, everything runs smooth.
Gem Boutique is more of a bargain, but it eventually repays itself and starts making money. basically just get the building to at least level 2 and put a Jewelcrafter there (Romuul/Olin). He will give you Jewelcrafting dailies, which reward a satchel with about 220 gold. Clever use of the Trading Post is the key to get Ores cheap, but you should steer clear of the dailies asking you to build rings and chokers anyway, as those require too much Ores to make and may deplete your Garrison Resources. Expensive and risky, but it's worth it.
Also, I think almost everyone has dropped the Salvage Yard by now. It's annoying, it fills your bag, and defeats the purpose of easy and lazy gold grabbing. Shipyard is tough by the same logic, but once it's set up, it goes on its own. I personally dropped Salvage yards on all my characters but one, because I keep forgetting about it.

i've got the inscription building + follower working on 8 characters right now, and it pulls in 600-1k a day with a very minimal time investment.
if thats 600-1k a day per character, yeah thats really awesome!
My guide was more of a basic guide. The garrison is so lucrative if worked more than what I outlined, but if you are a minimalist, and just want a fool proof system to making lots of gold fast, stick to the basics.
Certainly working your profession buildings, and doing everything in your buildings (especially with the fur and leather trap building), will yield you with potentially much more.
Happy Garrison Farming!
Spend 800 resources on cheap day for a stack of mats via trading post... trading post sits idle between resource dumps.
Spend 1000 resources on mission completion order for barn to get 5 savage blood and 1.5 stacks of mats... Barn making 700-1000g a day between resource dumps.
You can't fully AFK making gold with Barn like you can Trading post... but the work to keep barns stocked is well worth the difference imo.
