Trying to get the creative juices flowing here...
So, if I had some new players and wanted to try and make some Isk there are some good activities out there. I didn't hear any particular activities that may appeal to you and your group. I'm going throw out a couple of general ideas.
1. Faction Warfare - you're boys join up and while learning how to pvp in cheap frigs also make money by capturing FW Dungeons. It does have the downside of making 1/2 of empire space hate you while also being at war with large swathes of PVP minded individuals. It's fun when there's an opponent and you can make money in the space between fights.
2. Mining Fleets - While mining is incredibly boring (personal opinion!), as a fleet you can continue to shoot the *bull* in your voice or preferred chat channel. With an Orca pilot boosting, a couple of Covetors, and maybe a Miasmos you can really bring in a decent amount of Isk. Determining payouts can be a pain; and the money's may have to go to something tangible since this may not be everyone's cup of tea. If your crew is exceptionally green you can throw some ventures in there and anyone who has a barge and still just go to town. You're just obviously not going to make as much Isk.
3. Level 4 missions - While easy to run solo as a veteran player, getting a battleship with some remote repair and pairing it with an osprey or an augoror can keep most of your new players alive even if their flying in low skill frigates. *Note: They'll need a damage control, some kind of buffer, to understand transversal as well as staying away from MWD use. This is especially satisfying if you have someone collecting the salvage behind in a industrial with a tractor, a destroyer, or a noctis. You can throw the loot towards upgrading everyone's ships and in no time you'll be crushing missions in cruisers / battle cruisers with some new players that have a little cash in hand. Bonus: If you pick a corp to run for that has a decent LP store it can certainly accelerate the process.
There are a variety of other methods to make Isk. If you wanted to sink your 300 million into station trading and just use the proceeds to help fund corp activities it's an option. The world's your oyster here.
