If i were to buy 2 plexs with cash and used 1 to extend for month and sell the other.

By getting the 500 million from selling the plex could i easily double that profit in time to buy another for the 2nd month?

In theory, yes, it could be done. Doubling that isk when you don't have the skill points for a good mission/incursion ship yet could be quite a challenge though unless you are REALLY good at economics and playing the market.

Or you could take Eve's most profitable occupation and scam in a trade hub local.

Or corp thievery.

There are a few ways to do it, but none are easy within the first month or two of playing.

EDIT: On the other hand I just did an exploration site that you could probably do pretty early on and had a single module drop worth 300M. Reading up on exploration might be worth the gamble too.

Thanks for the positive feedback i really don't want to pay monthly so i was wondering if it were possible.

I figured the easiest way would be by hauling stuff through the market unless you know of an easier and consisten flow of isk.

Most people recomend t4 missions but that would require getting plenty of skill points and ship equipment before that would be viable.

So does being a trader.

Traders need good skillpoints in both the Trading section (pay less tax to buy and sell stuff etc) and if you want to move stuff from one place to another you need a good amount of skills in the ships you fly

Unfitted haulers for shipment of stuff (specially in trading hubs) = bad idea, people usually gank them just for fun or for profit if you ship expensive stuff.

You do need skills to tank your ship, make it more harder harder to kill and survive longer. Also you might need bigger ships to hauler more or larger cargo in 1 go (time is money, also counts in EVE).

So trading isn't a profession which can be done easily with 0 SP invested in it. It can be done, but it will be harder to do if you compare it with a fully trained trader.
