Hello need asistance once again, so i have this idea in mind, could i create a second character and dedicate it only to industry?

Could this be a good way of making good money with a second alt, how do people usually do this tehy have their main for lets say running missions and then an alt that just sits in teh station building things and selling.

How does this work how do you make good money with an alt?

Oh and for example i have an Iteron for mining, how can i give it to my alt?

Remember that you can train only one character per account so either you stop training on you main to skill up an alt or you need to create second account and use it to train you alt while keep you main training without interruption. Of course once your alt would be trained "enough" (big relativity here, depends on area of expertise that character should be) you can always transfer that character into you main account into second character slot. That way you would no longer have to pay for two accounts.

Usage of alts really depends what alt is about. Indy or trade alt can be used just to keep business going so no need for keeping it on separate account. You just update sell/buy orders or update industrial jobs and that's all.

Pvp alt like probers or logistic is best to keep on separate account because you can support your main in fights using two clients each logged into different character (you can't log in two characters within same account simultaneously).

Indy or trade alt are probably most popular way of making money if you want to go in this direction. I personally just PLEX myself to have ISK for pvp but I know quite a few ppl making pretty income with indy/trading/PI alts. Numbers depend greatly what/where you do and how much time you dedicate for it.

Pretty much it.

You can contract your ship to your alt.
