How I got 9 million+ gp on Runescape as a non member
Money can be a huge asset in runescape. Instead of "wasting" time killing giants to get big bones, trying to get to 43 prayer, a rich player can simply shell out around 3 mil and get the required amount of big bones in a few seconds! This was how I got my prayer level up. Now many of you think that membership or high combat levels are required to get rich, but my account is only level 56, it is a non member and yet I have 9 million gp! How did I do it? This is a question I always get in game, and here, I will share my secret to becoming a rich non member, starting from scratch.

Skills = cash!
Skills are the way to gaining money on runescape, not combat stats. This guide can be used by anyone from level 3 to 126. I will not explain the different ways to make money since I have never used fishing/woodcutting and therefore do not know if they are profitable. However, mining and smithing got me well on my way to the path of wealth.

Mine till you drop!
Firstly, mine lots of tin and copper ores until you have enough to make at least 200 bronze bars. This will not take all that long and remember to keep upgrading your pickaxes everytime you can as they will save a lot of time. Smelt all the bars at once at al kharid and then head to varrock where you should turn them into whatever you can. Sell at the grand exchange or general stores.

Continue in this trend with iron ores and eventually steel. However, in my case, I mined and smith iron until my smithing level was 46, at which point I started making steel bars. Do Not Smith Your Steel Bars Until You Have Level 48 Smithing! This is very important! Just keep banking the bars and when you finally arrive at level 48 smithing, the money will start rolling in!

THE SECRET WAY OF MY SUCCESS!

Start making steel platebodies and banking them. These will make you rich in the long run, but they require a huge investment. Now, how to get money to make this investment? I will tell you how I did it. Go to forums and look for members who are ruecrafting law runes. They usually sell them for 200 - 300 gp each. What I did was to buy laws from them at this low price and resell them to other players in world 1 for 400 - 500 gp each. Now I know this may sound like it will not generate much profits, but the more money you make, it will keep increasing exponentially. You should have at least 100k already, just from smithing and selling your stuff. Buy 100k worth of law runes for 200/300 gp each and resell for 400/500 each. You will now have 250k at most!
If you continue doing this, in no time will you have lots and lots of cash! Finally, buy a lot of law runes and keep teleporting to falador over and over until you get to level 55 magic. High alchemy is now possible!

The Way of the Alchemist
Go buy nature runes from players and high alch all the steel platebodies you have in your bank! This will bring untold amounts of cash to you. Keep smithing and alching until you have all the money you need and can buy whatever you want in non members!

Getting your first million will feel like such a thrill! Enjoy Gaining money and spend some on expensive armor to show off what you have learnt and that you are one of the elite non members!

Enjoy!
