I am having the same problem. I have not been able to find anything profitable to manufacture either.


I have a subscriber who started with a negligible amount of isk who made 80mil his first month, 350 his second, and a bil his third. He's far from my most successful subscriber, but he's my favorite for starting with nil and having a great attitude. His portfolio is atypical and doesn't involve hulls, but works very well. Perhaps his best attribute is being open-minded. I also have multiple subscribers absolutely schooling Jita. As I operate out of Amarr with a philosophy of GTFOOJ, frankly they're my heroes.
