NullSec industry questions

So i've been in nullsec for almost a month now and while things are quite good here i have a long long passion with mining in general (DON'T JUDGE MEH BRAH) so i've been mining down here with Rorqual/Orca boosts but i don't have trained anything in the ABC category. So i mainly mined Spodumain and Hedbergite. Now comes the question how to do i sell the goods since we all know with the recent jump changes people will charge a lot more to move there stuff to highsec and as far as selling to the local market it's a ripoff. I usually compress the ore since it's a lot easy to move them into a Miasmos. So far we have a Minnie PoS with a refinery anchored that has i believe a 52% refine rate and a Minnie outpost that has a 75% refine rate but transporting all that stuff back and making a courier will cost me a lot of MONEY. So what do you guys recommend i should do to get some decent bucks out of it? Also i have some icebelts 4 jumps away (DAT SWEET SWEET Dark Glitter). Is it profitable to mine that and sell it off the local market or it's a bad idea in general?

Refine it and build stuff with it your alliance/corp needs/uses. Market markup can be pretty good in Null, which can be pretty nice for Indy.

I'd agree, best bet would be to build stuff with it, even simple ammo. You may have to buy low end minerals if your balance isn't right, but you can make a pretty penny selling stuff to the locals.

I would not recommend selling the ores. For whatever reason, most null residents don't buy them. You are likely to have more success moving them to a refinery near an Indy hub and refining them. Just peak at the cost indexes in the map and look at job volume. It'll take time, but between having significantly higher refine (assuming a ninny outpost) and savings on shipping, even selling at slightly under jita average is more profitable for you.

You are familiar with compression arrays, and the 1:100 rate it hits correct?

You can cram 34.3m m3 worth of ore in a Nomad.
