So I've been wondering what all you other players do to make your ISK and just how much ISK you get from it? Maybe some people can read some posts in this thread and learn new ideas to possibly help their wallet. Feel free to post your methods of gaining ISK and how much you find yourself making.. lets say, per average day.
My methods:
1. Ice mining - I have two accounts, both of which were trained heavily into mining (regular mining, mainly had kernite in mind) until I learned about ice mining. When ice mining I find it a lot less stressful and less work involved with more profit, the ice asteroids do not vanish and it seems I can pretty much do nothing for 12 minutes and come back to 1.6 or so million isk. Seems like a great way to make your money without having to dedicate a lot of attention, I do this almost every time I find myself doing chores around the house. On an average day I probably make a good 20-25 mil isk.
2. Planetary Interactions - At the moment I'm not making any money off of this but I am setting up my colonies on both characters, planning to train to advanced command centers and level 4 planetary consolidation for now. I have a buddy who is willing to go and chip in so we can make P4 commodities (self-harmonizing power core) and we'll split the profit. I'm really hoping this makes me good side isk while I'm off mission running, mining, or doing stuff non-eve related.
Other then that I really don't have any other ways of getting good ISK to my knowledge, I do however have both of my characters trained into battleships and am planning to do quite a bit of mission running (I want those faction ships bad xD). I've heard PVP is quite lucrative if you're successful at it, though I'd like to keep my security status. Any advice from other experienced players?
FYI I'm pretty new to EVE, 8 months old but still learning a lot each day about this awesome game.

I build capital ships. Effective? Yes. Easy to get into? Hell no.
It requires a lot of capital and a lot of manufacturing slots. I currently have thirty slots nearly always building components or actual carriers, and I'm nowhere near at my max potential. Need moar isk and moar characters.

My main is the isk maker -
1: Missions. L4 missions in a BS makes good isk. L3 missions in a BS are decent income with less risk. 2: R&D agents. No outlay apart from time and a few million isk for skill books. I have 4 running. Passive income. I fly around my agents once a month picking up datacores and sell them. 3: PI. Easy and cheap to set up. I have PI set up on 3 planets in low sec making POS fuel. Not sure how this will pan out isk wise but fairly passive income stream. 4: Manufacturing. I set up a high sec POS with a friend and researched a load of blueprints. Now I just put up buy orders in my home system and manufacture and sell stuff out of one station. Expensive to set up but you can make a fair bit of isk. 5: Trade. Pick a busy system with a fair few agents. Buy stuff off mission runners using buy orders and transport it somewhere else and sell it for more than you paid. I used to make a lot of isk from this. You can start with 1 million isk and a cruiser and have billions within months. 6: Exploration. Scan down hidden sites including wormholes. Kill/loot stuff. You can make a huge amount of isk quickly from wormhole sites.
Take your pick
I use a mix of the above depending how much time I have. Today there's football (Come On England!), cricket and a GP on the TV plus dinner to cook so I won't be on much. I'll refresh my PI installations, run quick courier missions for the R&D agents that are close, put up buy orders for materials, put some stuff I've made up for sale and install a few manufacturing jobs.

I just go to jita whenever I need ISK. There's always someone there quitting the game and giving away free isk.

I did the ship and mod production thing on my main years ago and made quite a bit of isk, but more recently i've just utilized my second alt as a mission runner. I invest about 1/2 the time and effort and make a little less than half the money I used to, but it's allowed me to get rid of two accounts I hardly ever used so I can focus on more entertaining things.

3 Accounts
Currently training for PI on all 9 Toons - yet to see what can be done here
Manufacturing Capital Class HS ships (Orca/Freighters/etc) Mining most HS minerals/Grav Sites myself at this stage L4 Mission running 2 toons in BS and 1 in an Orca Salvaging and boosting A bit of DataCore Collection, but one hell of grind to do what I want to do Ice Mining, mainly to offset the cost of running a research POS Selling BPCs Market Manipulation(by an entire region worth of goods and then reselling them back to the same region at an inflated price) - this is kinda Hit and Miss, but fun
Not sure how much I make, due to continuously buying more BPOs But I know that my Wealth is going up :P

I go for income sources that require as little RL time as possible.
My income sources: - 17 R&D agents about 200-300kk per month - t2 BPO about 500-600kk per month - invention and production around 1 to 2 bil per month - arbitrage trading around 1 to 2 bil per month (shipping from empire to 0.0) - selling of anaconda and python mine bpos generates me about 500 to 1 bil a month
Invested whatever spare ISK i had (around 12 bil) into NPC items, looking to make 500% to 600% of profit on that will provide me enough iskies to settle for a long time.

I clear havens, takes about 30-35 minutes solo for about 22 million in bounties. Then a 5 minute break to drink coffee and have a smoke and do another one.

Killing Sleeper ships. Depending on my luck anywhere from a couple mil to well over 100mil an hour. Averages to about 50 to 60 a day because I spend a lot of time messing around with my PI stuff and goofing around on chat.
Took less than a week to earn enough to buy a plex to fund the alt and to replace a Proteus that got sploded because I was stupid.
Just now starting shift PI focus from fueling the POS to actually making things to sell.
Because I keep buying shiny toys my cash pool is usually low but my hangers are full.

You make 16% profit a year?
That's decent considering how much work you put in but overall it's about average.

No one mentioned salvaging. Armor plates are tiny and bring in a pretty good price. Once in a while I find intact salvage mods and these can be carried to buyers willing to pay upwards of 50mil each. Check prices in several regions before selling, a few jumps can make several million difference in income. Some salvage mods are near impossible to come by in some regions and drop like crazy in others. The best places to set up shop are where you are within 3 or 4 jumps from multiple regions and factions.
