So after living in WH's and running incursions for the past... year or so, I've moved to nullsec to get my pew pew on. So far the pew pew has been ok, but there is another concern - my wallet. Affording pew pew ships isn't that big of an issue, I have a nice, large stack of logi's and canes for that purpose, but paying for plexes each month is. And while I have enough to coast along for a few months, I would kinda like to stay at minimum isk neutral on the whole plex issue.

Running incursions, isk neutral isn't hard - go run sites for about 5-6 hours or so (yes, I was generally in the top teir fleets, so 100mil/hour wasn't uncommon) per acct needing to be plexed, and then I could build up funds for toys after that. Running WH's I generally spent more time on, but it was still between 6-10 hours per month per acct. Additional pays for ship losses, stocking up on new ships, etc. But in nullsec, I'm having issues making more than about 10mil/tick (2 accts running sites), and this month I only managed to coast along isk neutrally by finding a random 10/10 and running that. I'm not wanting to spend tons of time making isk, I want more time PvPing

The space I'm in is serpentis space, have available everything from -.2 to -.6, which means no sanctums, but it is fully upgraded, and I have 2 characters (1 can fly anything including capships, 1 can fly caldari/amarr/minmatar). So aside from coasting along and trying to get more 10/10's and so on, how do you make significant amounts of isk in nullsec. Or would I be better off sending a character back to highsec to run incursions, or to WH space to farm sites, or just another random character in highsec trading for my isk needs?

If you have the capital to invest, and prefer to keep your current characters in null, training up a station trader on one of your accounts may be the easiest way to increase your cash flow.

Can you spare one of your characters to go back to highsec incursions? If so, that's probably the easiest.

Otherwise, training up a logi alt to stay in hisec to run incursion wouldn't be a hugely long term commitment.

nullsec exploration is highly profitable. your problem may be that the area you're in is highly congested. the Serpentis nullsec i used to plex in offered loads of plexes i couldnt solo. that being said, i always found Gurista nullsec to be more profitable for some reason. right now i plex in low sec, and it's almost as profitable. i even found a 6/10 the other day.

you may have to plex elsewhere. but the upcoming anomaly buffs may be helpful.
