There are 2 different variations to earn money from clay: soft clay and regular clay. Either way, clay can be mined at level 1 mining so anyone can earn money from this. Clay mines pretty fast and sells for about 100 gp each. Wet clay takes a little more time but personally, i think earns more money and faster. Soft clay can be made by adding water to clay. I found that the best method is to mine at least 100 clay then get 14 jugs. There is a fountain near the small varrock bank where you can fill up your 14 jugs (fills all automatically when you use a jug on a fountain). Then you can use the jug of water on clay and make all into soft clay. Soft clay sells at about 170gp each.
Cutting Yews
Cutting yews is simple, great moneymaking. The only downside is it takes up to a month just to get a high enough woodcutting. yews sell over 400 each but I would recommend you get at least 65 woodcutting or it would take an hour to get a load of yews. The best way to get to 60 woodcutting (requirement for yews) is to train on regular trees until oaks, then stick with oaks. Oaks give half the exp of willows but cut almost twice as fast, therefore give about the same exp in the long run. Also, oaks actually sell.
Stealing Wine of Zamorak
This is a great way to get money. If you have ever tried to take the wine directly off the table you will find that the monks stop you. You would have to kill all the monks then steal the wine. But even if you are a high level you will find the flames that appear not only do a tiny amount of damage, it also weakens your stats significantly. The best way I have found to steal the wine is to simply telegrab it off the table. This requires 33 mage but is not too hard to train that high. Wine of zamorak sell for 800-1000 gp each.
Steel Bars
This is an old but still effective method. The best way to make steel bars now is to probably buy the raw materials on the grand exchange then selling the steel bars on the grand exchange. Each steel bar takes 2 coal and an iron ore to make. coal are about 175 each and iron are 99 gp each, costing about 450 gp to make a bar. Steel bars sell for over 600 gp each so you earn roughly 150gp per steel bar. Of course, you could always mine the materials.
Mining Iron
Iron ore is nice to mine if you have a pretty decent mining level. They sell for about 100 gp each and if you have a high enough mining level you can mine them in one hit. Also, iron can be found in tons of places. If you want you can also make iron bars but there's only a 50% success rate. Often, the ore wont turn into bars at all. However, iron bars do sell for almost 140gp more.
Hi, this is petergrabber. I admit that a lot of the things on the article are pretty basic. Please feel free to reply and make suggestions of better ways to make money, errors in my writing, etc. Whatever, I don't care if its offensive.

I am a fat emo nerd with no life. I am fat obese and only look good on Runescape. I sold my soul to become an actual runescape character.

I got all my money by selling pink skirts. It only took like 2 million trips and a whole year of playing 13 hours a day
