I have a freighter character, whats a good way to make money with it? So far going down the t1 and t2 lists nothing seems particularily profitable to trade.

Check out trit and pyer, they are well suited to freighters. Due to large bulk transfers even 0.10 to 0.20 can be fairly profitable.

minerals are really the freighters bread and butter. But you do have to sell for more than ~3% greater than what you bought the trit for. -------------

Try doing some courier contracts, just be sure to research them before accepting one.
Check where the shipment is to be picked up and where it's to be delivered, the ammount of ISK deposit required and also check if delivery is to a npc station or player owned station.
I don't think you'll want to find yourself in low sec space and realize you're not allowed to dock because you don't have access to the player owned station.

the problem is not being blocked from accessing a POS
the problem is not being shot up by a POS set to kill everyone not in the POSes corp-aliance or worse by a maned POS that sees your freighter pull up and the bored silly gunner goes hmmmm. . . Free Kill and Im bored and we might get both the loot AND the Colateral anyway. FIRE~!~

As mentioned minerals /fuel stuff etc.
Just put your main with the freighter in jita , alt in rens/amarr/big trade hub
Check prices and look for best buy in other region higher then best sell in jita.Allways keep taxes in mind for calculating profits.
Also check implants regularly.With a frig you can make same amount as a freighter at times if you do a good search.Made 200 mille last week when i checked implants myself from jita to amarr.Done within half an hour so nice profits there at times.
Check T2 ships too , they tend to varry a lot in price through different regions.
Any more tips and i'll get some wardecs so i'll stop here

The goal with freighters is bulk and isk. I make isk with my freighter fleet, but only because I use alt accounts, auto pilot, run my computer about 20hrs per day, and advertise a lot.
There are other ways, but actual time spent playing with the reward I feel I like mine best. -----

Sell it and do something profitable with the isk. Freighters are a usefull logistics tool for doing what you (and your corp) want to do in the game, rather than a solo isk maker. Some players set up deals supplying pos fuel to corps etc, but piloting a freighter is a particular type of torture that puts even mining to shame, so...

Awww why the freighter hate I think it is an excellent way to make money of course when I use a freighter I am hub trading equipment and ships (minerals are the new freighter pilot's game) and I do all the courier contracts that are doable along the route I am already planning on taking. Basically the key is to make sure that if you move it you maximize how much space/ISK you can into the run that you can turn into potential profit. I say that because I hate the freighter because I could walk between systems faster (yes even in space).
