Making money on Runescape is usually quite difficult and not easy, but the first thing that I feel we should do is define what exactly 'easy' is. For some people easy is making a lot of money quick but putting in a lot of effort. For others it's making less money at a slower speed but which requires less input and effort from the character itself.
A good example of the first one would be god wars dungeon or Barrows where killing the monsters allows you to loot drops worth millions of gold. With the introduction of a new dungeon at the God Wars you can even kill Nex which is the minion of Zaros, at the moment some of its drop are worth in excess of 200 million gold! But these kinds of activities take skill, effort and concentration all combined. You need to be skilled at fighting, as well as being able to equip yourself well. You need to put a lot of effort into not only know what armour to wear, but actually earning it so you can wear it, as well as getting the key to unlock Nex. It definitely takes concentration because you're fighting a very difficult boss, if you let your guard down you could easily die. This type of money making appeals to a lot of people because you can make vast amounts of money, but it does drain you both physically and mentally.
On the other hand when you're looking at something like skilling, perhaps hunter where you're catching chinchompas, or woodcutting yew trees and so on. There's much less effort required and much less risk involved, in fact you're practically risking northing at all. When you're cutting some logs the worst thing that can happen is that you can lose your axe head, but apart from that nothing else can happen. This is unlike going to Barrows where a death could easily mean losing million of golds, I've had a friend who has died twice for around 10 million gold each time.
What's definitely not easy money making is doing repetitive tasks such as picking flax. This doesn't even gain you any experience, and not only that but it's also terrible for actually making money. It's also very boring and takes constant effort and attention, it's not like you can just click and wait for your inventory to fill up with flax, you have to be constantly clicking and moving. If you're a low level that makes money in this type of a situation, I'd stop right away and focus on something that was actually productive. This means for the time being you wouldn't be making any money as you gained combat or skill levels. But when you have a high enough combat you can go to either Barrows or Godwars and increase your income dramatically. Or when you have high enough gathering levels (for example woodcutting, mining and hunter and so on) you can make much better money while doing something enjoyable. These both allow you to gain levels and make much more money. You may not be making a lot of money to start with but you'lldefinitely start making a lot more then if you were doing a boring and menial task. If you were to relate it to the real world it's like choosing to be a banker as opposed to a factory worker, one just pays better and is seen as being a better job.
To conclude easy money making on Runescape is a matter of preference, and it's a balance between the effort you put in and the rewards you get out of it. I personally prefer a variety of tasks, such as those that make less but which aren't challenging and those which are much more challenging and dangerous but which present much greater rewards.
