Sell your body. Work the corner! Put some leg into it!

No, but really, try exploration. It's not as reliable, but it can make some good money. See what your corporation is doing. Tag along with some guys running lvl 4 missions. That should make you a bit of cash.

I would just say do all the tutorial missions (including career agents), then keep building skills...Find a certain area you enjoy, and focus on that as far as skills go...then the rest will come (ISK).

Mining is pretty much the worst way to make ISK. I second the suggestion to get into exploration.

I assume you want to pirate / PVP with your yarrrrr mateys at some point?

In this case, the thing to do is run missions, as your skills for such will near all pass over into PVP (you'll only need a few skills trained that aren't useful to PVE). You'll passively learn how to handle your ship whilst doing them, too.

Once you've ground some missions for a couple of weeks (or whatever you can stand) and have some collateral (aim for about 1bil) then teach yourself trade.

You can then make money trading on one character sat about in highsec, whilst your "main" flies about and gets into trouble.

This really. Mining isn't really good income when compared to combat and it also means you're "wasting" SP in something you don't seem to be interested in.

For a more comprehensive list of ways to make isk check this.

Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

I'll say it again...

Ninja. Looter.

I made a post back in the day before the Noctis for a dedicated ninja class ship.

You might get something out of it on how to actually BE a ninja salvager...

But IMHO it's the only way to go for new guys.

You can check it out on Cribba's site here

Or on the old EvE forums here

You can make a LOT doing it.

When things are slow notsomuch...

Than all of a sudden you make a couple bil in an hour...

It evens out to better than level 4 missions imho...
