Don't u think 10.000 isk in an hour is a little bit a small amount?

For a starting character 10k per hour is not bad. If you're looking for an instant millions type of deal sorry to dissapoint you but there's no free rides.

LOL, I know that but my main way of making isk now is mining and i wonder if there are better, less time consuming ways of making isk.

Once you gain about...75k? for a decent mining frigate you can get some decent cash. My Imicus can mine pyro and get 11k/8 minutes w/ dual miner 1s and 3 mining drones |

In a hour I got 400k isk from pirate hunting but that where 20k 30k and 40k isk cruisers on my own. Its pretty hard to fight 3 a 4 ravishers(20k isk) and 1 ravager(30k isk) at one time. ______________________ I am just a crazy cow |

Conquestadorus, Mine yourself some Omber and sell it as Ore, unrefined. You will make about 60k an hour in a newb ship with newb gear. ----------- Never argue with an idiot, they will only drag you down to thier level then beat you with their greater experience. |

well EVERYONE wants to make quick isk's but if everyone did the econamy would get stale and everyone would be bored to hell inside of 2 months with all the best equipment etc..
the only ways to make money is:
1)Mine 2)Trade Routes 3)Spot deals on the market, buy the stuff and sell it for more..
Item 3 can be VERY lucrative for example i bought 2500 noxium for 180isk's each (average) and then sold it for 215isk's each thats a profit of 100K isk i didnt even have to ship it anywhere just buy and sell orders... the only problem is price's get ridiculous and you need fair amounts of cash and the ability to have 0.5mil isk sat in "stock" while it waits to be sold...
Item 2 is also lucrative in the right amounts but the only way to make REAL money is to buy the more expensive items like Robots etc, 780isk eash to buy and 890isk each to sell.. with a Badger MK2 and 12 jumps thats about 200K isk a run but it takes 45 mins :(
Mining the right stuff can make you a mint.. if you are prepared to do the mining.. teaming up with an indy will make everyone more money.. but then the belts get depleted VERY quickly...
and Yes selling Ore unrefined can make you alot more profit if you take into account the wastage when youn refine it...
TIP: the MARKET is VERY usefull for price checking.. you should use the advanced market alot more to make money.

The best trade route I ever had was buying and selling afterburners.
10k isk buy 1 system jump later 30k isk sell
Nice! I made about 500k in 2 hours...

I have tried looking at the market prices for different items but the only items it works for are ships.

It does work for many items not just ships, the two icons on the left are "Green" - Advanced Market Info. you can change the "area of interest" by changing the look type in the top right corner of the market window or there is the "information" button that is blue that will allow you to see the specs of the items.
Just use the supply tab to find a good buy price and then the deman to find a good sell price.
the market is a little buggy but it does work. the best thing to do is to pick a couple of items you wish to trade and note the best price and location of them to buy, then move regions and find the prices for the items again.
there is much more money to be made in inter-region trading even on simple items such as ore and minerals.

What are the best ships for doing trade routes with? Are Iterons ok?

Yes, Iterons are good when you get to the mk II and III stage and up... although they are usually defence poor. I would maybe go for a mammoth as they are slightly harder.
Depends where you are planning to take it I suppose. if you wanna go into deep space then take something with mid slots. If you stay in empire space like 0.6 and up, you should be fine in an Iteron Capt. Rodriguez I. Cortez Intergalactic Criminale Armada dos Rios

Mining with a ship like Probe will get you quite some cash pretty fast. Use 2 mining lasers I and one harvester drone. This will get you 300k/hour if you don't count travel time. so something like 200k/hour. Once you have around 800k I would recommend getting an indy skill and a good indy. I would recommend the Bestower since it can have 8k cargo with simple expanders and skill at lvl3.
Now you can mine when you are not playing. If you do this 3 times a day when you are around the house and not playing you can get 1milj/day from this alone. With this money I would recommend trading perhaps or getting a cruiser. Ah, well hope you get the picture. /Phoibos

Phoibos definitely has the right idea. When I'm at the computer and actively mining I use my vexor so I have the most cargo I can (930 cargo), 4 mining lasers and drones to defend me. But when I go to work, or head off to bed, I jump into my bestower (7855 cargo) travel to a 1.0 system and leave it mining. Yes, it takes about 2 hours to fill the hold, but I'm not around so it doesn't matter. It's like free ore really. Then when you come back there's about 300-350K isk worth of ore in your hold. Even only once a day this makes a big difference. (And your corp will love you showing up with this amount of minerals too, if you're sharing with your corp.)

Best way of making ISK is NPC pirate hunting. If your new start off with the easy pirates and work your way up to the 50k isk bounty pirates. Last night I hunted for a few hours make 10mil ISK and thats not including the rare loot I found some of which can be sold for 2 mil on trade channels. ----------------------- ╔╤╗╒╕╔╕║║/ ║│║╘╛║╘╝║\ ----------------------- |

Phoibos,
Nice post - quick question though as you mentioned "I would recommend the Bestower since it can have 8k cargo with simple expanders and skill at lvl3."
Which skill at lvl3 would you then have in order to get 8k cargo with simple expanders(assuming you mean 15% ones)? With simple cargo expanders (4 of 'em) I thought you could barely get 6k worth of cargo using a Bestower?
Thanks for help!

buy 500 harvestor drones for 35k and then wait till ccp nerfs the drops and sell em for 200k.

Before the Security status fix was implemented, Convoy raiding was the best money maker. A puny little frigate with ranged guns, and an indy to pick up the goods is all that was needed to make 1.5 - 2 mil a night.
It's much more difficult now since you have to watch your faction security status of course, but you can still make good isk stealing trade goods and selling them back to the NPC corps.
God bless Holoreels.
