If these alts are all on separate accounts, inter-regional trading can be very lucrative. Park 1 alt in Jita as a buyer (this one doesnt even need any skills, as all you'll be doing with it is buying,) and another alt in 1 of the other hubs as your reseller. Ignoring all the unnecessary trading skills (you wont need margin trading, or skills that grow your range, for example,) you can have a decently trained seller alt in 8-10 days, the only skills you'll really need are those that increase your max # of orders and that lessen taxes and broker fees. This also means that once you have your base skills down for the seller alt (like I said, 8-10 days or so) you can start training a "real" toon, like a PVP alt on the same account.
Now you either make your own channel or just open a convo between your two sellers. Buy lower in Jita sell higher in Dodixie or Amarr. You probably have no idea what items to look for, so head on over to www.eve-central.com and use their trade tools to look up items and their prices. Best result is to compare 2 systems (the bottom option under trade tools) and get a list of items in Jita selling for X compared to selling in Dixie for Y. You can enter in a max price on the items so you don't blow your budget. You want a private convo or your own channel so you can copy the item's name on 1 toon, tab over and paste the name in the market browser on the other toon - saves a lot of time.
It takes a little money to get started, but your cash will grow exponentially if you keep reinvesting your returns, and you can start out small with cheap, high volume items like faction ammo.
If indeed all THREE toons are on different accounts and your computer can handle it, park the miner in front of some 'roids and start mining, tab over to the browser, get an item in mind, check the price in Jita, tab over, check the price in amarr, check sales history and make sure the item actually sells, and buy it on the Jita toon. Whenever you feel rdy, move the goods on 1 of the traders to the reselling system. Since your buyer doesnt NEED any skills, you can skill him up into industrial ships and eventually a blockade runner or freighter. I highly recommend a blockade runner because they are so FAST, + they can cloak. I ended up selling my freighter, because I could move tons of ISK worth of stuff in the blockade runner. IMO the only reason to keep the freighter would have been to move ships or POS modules, neither of which interest me anymore, it's just not worth the hassle.
There's a couple other things you can do to increase your income without too much hassle, as well. Feel free to hit me up in game sometime, I'd be happy to help you out.
