The problem is that you spend too much money leveling. There are multiple leveling paths you can take as a crafter; depending on the market some even give profit.

For instance at one point, boar skin and alumen was low enough in price that one could sell boar leather at 80% profit on my server.

If you rush and rush without thinking, it is no wonder you do not get good results.
