Things i did to finance my RvB ships (deffo join RvB, it teaches you tons without being handheld):
None of these things are effective (for isk/hour i do incursions or FW):
-Fly around hisec asteroid belts in a awrpspeed rigged inty and farm faction spawns. Gets you low grade pirate implants, you see the world and at least half your loot will come from ninjalooting faction wrecks from miners with loads of tears.
-Rat in lowsec in high dps frigates for clone soldiers. Gets your adrenaline pumping a bit as a complete noob and teaches you the basics how to stay alive without concord protection in cheap ships.
-Find a big red dot on the map in nullsec, fly there in an inty and salvage t2 wrecks (best source of negative income).
...
Just be creative. You can make 5-10mil/hour for cheap RvB frigs in |

For the few of you that do NOT have multiple accounts, and usually get on for only say, 1 hour sessions at random (multiple) times during the day, what activities do you focus on to generate the ISK other then PLEX injections?
My solution to this exact situation was Planetary Interaction (PI). If you're willing to take youre main's training offline for a couple of months, you can get your two other character slots trained up with all the skills they need to be effective at PI. Then it's just a matter of finding some good planets to set up your operation, and a small investment in the equipment (command centers, planetary facilities and upgrades, plus something to haul in) and you're good to go.
I'm at the point where I spend about 30-40 minutes every few days maintaining my PI setup, and it brings in plenty to fund my casual PvP activities. Every couple of weeks, I haul materials to a trade hub and cash in. All in all, it's not a bad way to buld up some decent income, and it certainly feels a bit less grindy than other methods I've tried., and it takes less of the few hours I can devote to EVE to bring in the ISK I need, leaving more time for play.
As usual, EVE Uni has some good info on PI; here's a couple of links to get started:
http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Planetary_Interaction
http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Planetary_Interaction_101
There are also many other guides out there (Google is your friend). Good luck! |

I'd second trading -- it doesn't take much time, and you can make a LOT of money once you learn the market prices a bit better and have high enough trade skills to lower cost and increase order volumes and the like.
Level 4s if you have the skills will get you decent ISK, too, but takes a bit more time.

In CVA space I have mates that run anoms in MJD Domis, now made a tad trickier with the drone module changes.
I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships.

Meh, it's ok, I think he is just reinforcing the idea that I'm asking for too much and PLEX'ing would save a lot of hassles, which it would 
I had two accounts, that I merged, since I knew I'd be unable to have time after the op to use them, so I'm saving one account worth of cash each month, so the odd injection of PLEX would cover the slow isk making periods, and not hurt any real wallets.
I do appreciate all the advice, as I have a better grasp now knowing a few people play with smaller chunks of time ans single accounts. Since I do have 3 toons on the account, and all 3 have different skill sets, I'll spread them around so I can use the time chunks I get, to manage a few basic ideas.
Does anyone here "farm" L4's over and over after DT without completing them? Is that still possible or has CCP changed it?

I am making about 90M ISK/hr, depending on how much I can sell LP store items for. Spreadsheeting FTW. i.e.: build a spreadsheet of all the LP store items, all the items you need to buy to get the LP store requirements, the sale price of the LP store items, and the ISK profit.
Of course the effort of building and updating the spreadsheet has to come out of playing time. There are a few dozen items to keep track of, they are on my market quick bar, and it is possible to update my spreadsheet by hand (i.e.: click on item in market, enter lowest sell order into spreadsheet) in a few minutes.
Dinsdale Pirannha wrote:Trading takes a big stake to start, and given the way you are talking, I don't think you have that stake.
You only need enough to make your first trade. After that you have more ISK. Since you are increasing your ISK at about 1% per sale, you will find the magic of compound interest applies and you will end up with a lot of money very quickly. Just keep up the trading activity. The key is to lowball your buy orders, highball your sell orders, and keep at it (this is traditionally shortened to "buy low, sell high").
Dinsdale Pirannha is the operational example of the pessimistic "ways it can't be done" thinker. To make ISK, you need to shape yourself into the "how can it be done" style of thinking: "I have 10M ISK, how can I make this ISK work for me?"
Other ways of making ISK are discussed in the appropriately named Making ISK guide.

Some people do, but it's not as profitable as blitzing. Farming the same missions over and over again is a little more casual and low-pressure than blitzing though.

I've been surprised at how easy it is to take part in ganking and griefing on a casual schedule. If money is a factor, just join a corp with an srp program and a fun community. We can all be ******* together!

Your best bet is becoming a market guru, make isk while your off doing RL things.

Goons reckon I should buy a lot of PLEX from CCP, then they will sell me a ratting fit Titan, and they will let me rat in a system by myself.
They even offered to jump me there and escort me to the system.
Sounds like easy ISK.

I'm checking up Research Agents. It looks like ability to do short, daily mission runs would fit perfectly in something to do before going to sleep.
Is there any common pitfalls to avoid?
As far as hard numbers I'm looking at the program Isk Per Hour in order to decide on which skills to concentrate on first.
