First, what things are you killing? Second, which items are you keeping? Third, what items are you making? Even beginning players can make decent money, more than enough to buy better armor and weapons as they progress through their combat levels. The simple answer is to collect items that higher level players want and need, but do not want to spend time on. There are two items that are best in the early going:
1. Feathers. Killing chickens is the first thing you should do in Runescape, because there are so many skills you can work on at the same time: combat, cooking and prayer. Also, you can collect feathers which can be sold at the Grand Exchange for about 4 gold each. True, that is not a lot, but it is easy to collect about 1000 feathers or so as each chicken drops about 5. Also, not all players pick up the feathers so you can grab those too.
Feathers stack, meaning they sit in only one spot in your inventory, so you can collect as much as you like before going to sell. That means you do not have to keep running to the bank.
2. Cow Hides. Once you have moved up a few combat levels and bought better armour and weapons, you can move on to cows. Each cow you kill will drop a cowhide which sells for over 100 gold at the Grand Exchange. This means you can collect up to 28 hides before banking.
However, there is a better plan, but it requires that you have some money in one inventory spot. After collecting 27 hides, run to the Al Kharid gate and pay the 10 gp toll. Run south to the tanner's shop (northernmost building of the western row of buildings), trade with the tanner and pay 1 gp for each hide to turn them into leather. This makes them worth over 140 gp at the Grand Exchange, which is a significant increase in value.
Both of these methods will give you enough of a stake to make even more money. As in real life, having money makes it easier to make even more.
