Making money through the personal story?
Very very little. Practically nothing in fact. The main rewards for PS steps is items; sadly the items are leveled on the story step not your level, so at level 80 they will be useless and worth very little.
Personally, I get most of my cash through dungeons. It’s slower than “normal” farming, and not as profitable as TP-gaming, but it is more fun.
You won’t get anything of significance until the later stages of the story which you can salvage (if I remember). You will, however, get quite a few Black Lion items.
I’d rather recommend doing exploration. Do map completion for the +76 zones (all of Orr and Frostgorge, maybe Malchor’s too). You’ll get 2-3 exotics that you can TP/salvage. But to be honest, you’ll make more money per hour farming.

I should also note that there used to be a story quest that you could farm for mobs but they fixed that recently.

Alright, well thanks chaps! i will most probably get on with exploration then although the black lion items are interesting.

You get Exotics for Straits of Devastion, Malchor’s Leap, Cursed Shore, Fireheart Rise, Mount Maelstrom and Frostgorge Sound.
I estimate you’d get about 10g worth of stuff from just the rewards from doing the entire personal story (not counting loot from mobs).
you would get more from map completion of the high level areas

From Cursed Shore completion alone, I’ve gotten about 14g in items, sadly, I have no Black Lion Salvage Kit to increase my profit by about 60s (not including ecto’s).
I got lucky with the runes in the items.
