Plenty of tradeskills brought up to the first item of value can rapidly yield a decent return on investment.

Only if you don't value your time. It takes both time and plat to level up tradeskills, then it takes (a lot) of time to sit in EC and sell them. When you compare that to how much much you could be making if you went out and killed stuff instead (which, of course, would also come with XP) it quickly becomes obvious that tradeskills make you less money than killing stuff.
Not that I'm trying to hate on tradeskills: I'm a huge fan of them myself. But I just think all new players should understand that tradeskills are there for fun and the Shawl, not for making plat. If you want to make plat go farm something, or better yet level up and farm something good. I guarantee you'll make more money and XP AND have more fun then sitting in the tunnel selling one SoW potion an hour for like 30 plat profit (well, unless you just like hanging out in the tunnel ...)
