As I have started the quest where you fund a dig I will need some series gold soon as that quest starts to get rather high with the amount of gold he wants you to hand over each time. Make potions at a high lvl, sell across the world, one at a time, never in stacks. You'll raise your speech skill, and thereby prices, faster that way. By the time you travel back to the starting sale point, it's reset and you can keep looping indefintely, assuming you hit 5+ holds or so. Alchemy will make the money you need in 1-3 sales per investment if you sell the right stuff, and is ALWAYS a quick boost to your cash if you're grabbing all the ingredients you see while adventuring or exploring (usually doesn't hurt your carry weight restrictions, they're all light).

Many guides exist to show you how to max out potion making gear/stats, and many alchemy recipe tables do as well, just start at the top and work down with what you have.

At the risk of being hated by the site, my personal favorite alchemy money making guide is http://rp.eliteskills.com/skyrim.html. You add all ingredients known, or just what you have, then remove what you're missing as you make potions, and it resorts itself by most profitable potion automatically. (hope you saved a Jarrin root!) This site may have something similar, I personally don't know of it, but if it does, use that instead ;)

Even without any gear or perks, you can still make the money you need in a quick alch session/sale. I used to use that one a long time ago but I have found a better site that has all ingredients including ones from all the dlcs and you put what perks you have and alchemy level you are plus any boosts from gear if any and it saves your progress at http://www.garralab.com/skyrim/alchemy.php
