You are here: In many systems, particularly systems where new players congregate, people put up offers for items with ridiculously low prices hoping to cash in on the inexperience of the newbies. Therefore you should take the time to learn the Sell section of the market screen as soon as possible. Often times the difference between getting .01 ISK for an item and 20,000 ISK for the same item is a matter of moving from one station to another.
The third way is mining. It is the first career that they pursue in EVE online for many people. It is a no brainer activity that can generate decent amounts of EVE ISK. For a newer player who only needs to buy a frigate and some basic fittings, spending an hour or two mining to get quick cash infusion is not a bad idea.
Every race has a frigate that is designed specifically for mining. This frigate will offer bonuses that allow you to fit multiple mining lasers and usually includes a larger cargo hold than other frigates. However the Mining Lasers take up a slot on your ship that you would normally put a weapon into, so you should stick to systems that have a .8 security rating and above to avoid NPC pirates lurking in the belts.
Mining is the process of removing ore from an asteroid. Once you have this ore, you take it back to a station and refine it into minerals or sell the raw ore on the market. Brand new players with little or no refining skills are usually better off just selling the raw ore rather than refining it as you will lose so much to waste in refining. Make sure that when you sell the ore you are getting a fair price. If the price is .01 ISK, then you are in a system where someone is trying to rip off newbies. You can take the ore to another system where the price is better, or put up a sell order on the market yourself. The latter option takes more time, but may get you better results.
