Play EVE more then what would qualify as healthy?
Isk isn't the be all end all in EVE. A fool and his isk are soon parted. Take the time to learn the game, dip your toes into PVP at least once, and go at a leisurely pace while letting the knowledge soak in. Soon enough you will find that personal experience is infinately more importaint then isk regardless of what you plan on using it for. _______________

Turn eve into a second job maybe? Or how about you work a few extra hours this week in your rl job and buy a gtc? Then you will be subbed for two months and can slack off at work.

0.0 ratting will net you 20 mil isk / hour once you get good at it. The first trick is being able to fit a BS well enough to bring down 0.0 rats. Also there's the issue of hostile players.
So, if isk is all that matters, join a 0.0 corp. Choose one that is either far enough out of empire so that you'll be relatively unmolested, or is the pet of a very powerful alliance.
Then fit your BS as aggressively as possible. Raven or Domi are your best bets. And rat between 10 and 20 hours a week.
If you can avoid getting blown up, you'll get your 300 mil / month.

It's not even necessary to have a good BS or be part of an alliance. You just need to find a good spot and locals (the people that control the gates in the area most of the time) that will tolerate your presence. Maybe not possible for everyone but it can be done.
I would also strongly discourage anyone considering starting out BS ratting from fitting their ship 'aggressively'. It is NOT difficult to bring down 0.0 rats. T1 guns and drones are entirely sufficient. You would need to pay a little more attention to get by with a T1 tank, but that can be done too. You might think that maximizing your efficiency is really important here, but unless you have absolutely perfect intel on hostiles and gatecamps in the area and vigilantly apply your perfect understanding of local watching and being alligned and safespots, you will be killed quickly. Even if you have all those things chances are you're still going to hit some bad luck someday.
When you are killed, you lose everything you've invested in your ship and you will need to pay for a replacement. If your 100 mil fully t2 fully rigged investment is 130% as effective as a ship that costs 15 mil to replace, you're going to have to make 250 million isk between each death just to make as much profit with the expensive option. Might want to do a test run to see if you can do that first.
Ratting gets pretty boring, and it sucks to have to stare at local all the time, so even though you could probably make more isk if you pimped your ship, I'd still advise the more laid back approach.
Alternately you could figure out how to do market trading stuff. Thats where all the low effort money is at apparently. But there's no formula for success.

You can easily take your 2m SP character and sell it for 300mil isk if you've spec'ed decently. Then you'll have made 300mil sp in way less time.

This.
Or you can do missions. Raven and Domi are mission machines and a lot of level 4 missions are doable at low skill points.
...or check the trade forums. There are some success stories about trading. Someone did 1 billion with a starter character in like 15 days only by buying and selling. |

Station trading if you know how to do it/can stand doing it would be the best way to make ISK with low SP (buy low, sell high).
However, at your stage I wouldn't focus on trying to buy plexes, but spending your ingame time playing. Just charge your account on your CC, w/e while you can actually enjoy the game for a bit.
As your character and your knowledge of the game gets better, make the decision if you want to pay via RL monies or by ISK.

one way to start would be to get yourself some R&D agents and train the skills required to lvl 4. That will start bring you a passive income in every month. Then look at fully salvaging and looting you mission sites. Also consider trying to sell mission locations with last amounts of ore to mining corps in your area...
All in all over 300mill if you do it right

A questions, how much do you play a week?
Join a corp that will help you out, be that mission running to let you tag along, or even just share the LP and rewards, then let you salvage the mission, all this will easily make more than 300 per month whilst training your toon properly

well my first step would be to join a corp... they generally help u out when u first start off... go ahead and ask a corp mate if its ok for u to tag along on lvl 4s.. your standing should go up pretty quickly and by the time u have something like a 6.6 your shoiuld be able to do a lvl 4

Great, thanks for the good replys. And I'm sorry you wasted your time, those of you, who still replyed about GTCs. So ill look into a lvl 4 missioning corp and while i train. Hopefully i can come out to 300m this month. Only problem is i have 7 days to get the money, this should be the only time in toons carrer that he will need a PLEX and thats only cause im grounded. What are my options in getting a GTC without a credit card?

Station trading is not very effective with low amounts of capital. Actually, no trading is. But station trading is not the fastest way to build capital unless you have a good windfall, because it may take days for your trade order to fill, and you will have to constantly change it, and pay the associated fees.
With low skill points. Cross regional trading, supplemented with contracts, is the fastest way to build enough capital to get into station trading. It also teaches you what is in demand and where the supplies come from. So you can make a more educated decision as to where to base yourself and make other important market decisions.
300m a month is no big deal trading once you have a decent nest-egg. Don't eat your seed corn. --

If you dont have many fighting skills and minimal isk, you can train astrometrics 1 and salvagning 1, get 1 probe ship and 1 salvager, go to a mission farmer system of choice and ninja salvage (and loot!) their large wrecks for some nice cash.
Its more efficient to just do lvl 4s yourself i guess, but this is a nice income very early on. i personally can only fly minnie frigs, but i can make about 100 million isk a day if i focus on this (which i dont do often...dont need isk right now, need more skills ;))

I know ways to make 100M a day easily. It takes some effort tho, but its very easy, albeit time consuming :). I might let you know if you aks very very nicly in a in-game mail, but don't get your hopes up. :P (I can't ruin my bread and butter)

There is, EVE Bank, but like any decent Bank they want securities... if you have them or not is not in my view so you could try

Edited by: General Coochie on 25/12/2008 16:36:14 Edited by: General Coochie on 25/12/2008 16:32:26 Manufacturing use ure brain and you can easily get 500m a month spending 30min / day.
When I started manufacturing with an alt I had 60m by the end of my first month I had 400m (I started building a domi / day, bought mins during the day, build it during the evening and sold it before next morning made me 5mill a day or something, by the end of the month I could make 2-3 domis a day and profit just got higher and higher). Market isnt that good anymore though. But by getting a bit higher capital, around 600mill doing 300mill a month should be easy. You gotta get into it though and be smart you cant just produce anything. The hardest part is finding a system with manufacturing spots that are always some free and that ppl buy stuff in, and the market cannot be saturated. If theres more sellers then buyers or many seller like in jita you wont make any isk. Finding a good system to make stuff in is harder to day then it was a year ago but if you are dedicated no doubt you will find holes in the market to fill allowing you to go 10-20% + on you invested capital.
I had a 2nd account making me enough isk to buy game time with isk for both accounts and still go + 500mill a month. And I spend like 30min on this account / day. Now thats some good isk for 30min a day I'd say. But since GTC doubled in price since then and market is a bit harder I cant be arsed manufacturing anymore to keep me going, it takes more time finding holes in the market and even if I net 600mill a month that will only just make my 2 account go around nothing extra to my ships :) However I found another source of isk income that seems to be equally effective.

Get in a mission running corp and run L4 missions with a corpmate. Salvage other peoples' missions in an L4 hub Take a cue from isk farmers and fly a cloaking raven in a deserted 0.0 system. Hide at the first sign of danger.
Ask around for loans, some stupid people will give you money and you can choose whether to pay them back or not Suicide gank some expensive haulers
Without being able to dual client with well-fitted ships and skilled characters, making 300mil from NPCing will take a while, hope you can play a lot.

I'm still confused why you 'need' 300 Mill ISK a month? A plex does not 'need' ISK, so I'm confused.

ETC Route, lowest SP money maker.
You need 10,000,000,000 isk to invest into Ebank and make 300,000,000 per month.
So... You need roughly 17 60 day ETC.
At 40 bucks a pop (high average) its roughly 680 US Dollars.
Pay 680 dollars and invest now. Never worry about ETC again :) and you can do this without a single SP.
happy hunting. =----------=
