 * Buying and selling in Grand Exchange can be very effective, and can make millions in a short amount of time - especially if you have a large capital. Invest your money that people buy frequently, and sell frequently. For example willow logs:

You can buy these sort of things %4 less than market price, as the price might rise and sell them %4 more than market price, as price might drop. This way, about every 3 days you are able to make %8 profit. So if you have a capital of 8 million gp, after a few days you will make approximately 640 thousand gp. This may not sound much, but if you do it frequently, it will as every time you do this, your capital will rise. Hint: Watch for the prices in Grand Exchange

 * Going in the Party Room can be extremely profitable, because some drops can fetch up into the millions. However, this may not be very profitable because party rooms tend to get very busy when there is a multi-million drop. This method mainly depends on luck, since you may get millions from a balloon, but you also may get nothing.
 * At the GE, buy large amounts of empty Jugs (100+) for around coins each. Go to the varrock east bank and withdraw 28. Fill them with water from the fountain nearby, and bank. Repeat for all. Then, resell them on the GE for about  coins. It might seem long, but its quite a quick way to make money as Jugs with water are high in demand. An alternative way to perform this task is to buy large amount of jugs of wine for  coins each, drink them, and fill them with water. Then sell them on the GE for  coins earning a larger profit then the form stated above, a player should be warned this method will severely lower a players attack for a period of time afterwards so it is advised not to train in combat or perform activities or quests that require combat after performing this method for a period of time.
 * At the GE, buy large amounts of Clay (100+) for around coins each. Go to the varrock east bank and withdraw 28. Wet them with water from the fountain nearby, and bank. Repeat for all. Then, resell them on the GE for about  coins. It might seem long, but its quite a quick way to make money as Soft Clay are high in demand by people training Crafting.
 * Go to the dwarven mines and follow this process: mine ore, then use the ore at the furnace to make bars. Smith the bars into armour or weapons then sell the armour or weapons at a GE. You may want to make an armour set for a better selling price. This strategy probably gets the two best levels (mining and smithing) to make you level up and gets you money. At higher levels of mining and smithing, you can mine and smith better things for even more money.

 * Some types of processing can be done anywhere and still make a profit! For example, on the Grand Exchange, players can buy clay and water in whatever kind of container people are selling it in; they may then transfer the water into the clay and sell the soft clay and empty containers.
 * Item Lending can be an effortless way of making money. Often borrowed items include high-level, expensive weapons, such as the Rune scimitar or Rune 2h sword, at prices ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 per hour. The best places to lend items are around safe combat activities or near the Grand Exchange. Only one item can be lent out or borrowed at any time. An easy 10,000 coins can be made by lending a high-level weapon out while you log out, or while you do something which does not require a weapon. There are other weapons such as Godswords and Dragon claws that could be lent for up to or over 100,000 coins per hour, but it's hard to get these items for you to lend out, yet could be very well worth it.
 * Pots of flour and Chocolate bars can be bought from Wydin's Food Store for initial prices of 15 and 20 coins, deposited in the deposit box on Port Sarim's dock, and sold on the Grand Exchange for and  coins each.
 * Players who have started Dragon Slayer can talk to Duke Horacio in Lumbridge Castle to receive an Anti-dragon shield. When they receive it talk to him again to obtain more; repeat as desired. A full inventory is worth approximately coins and it takes around five minutes to do this. After players have a full inventory, note the shields, bank them within the castle, and continue if needed. Players who have completed the quest are able to perform this faster.

 * After the Personalised Shop Update, many items are sold within shops at prices lower than the corresponding Grand Exchange values. Players can buy these inexpensive goods and sell them back to the Grand Exchange for a small sum of money.
 * West of the sword shop in Varrock there is a potion store run by an NPC called Apothecary. If you talk to him and choose the option "Have you any potions to give away?" he will occasionally give you a Potion. Sometimes he will say "Charity was never my strong point." and won't give you a potion, but about half of the time he will give you one. Drop this and repeat the process. Each time you get one, drop it and ask for another. They are actually a members potion and can be sold on the GE for 243 coins each.
