Hi all, I want to use the alt slots on my account to generate some passive income, i am not adverse to investing a few mill SP or doing a bit of hard work to get them up to scratch. When i played back in 2013 data core agents where a way to get some passive income but from what i read today is that is no longer viable?

Passive … skillpoint farms (using the 450 PLEX certificates)? Plus PI, BPO research/copying, mass production, reactions in future. At least that is what I would do, if I would play with alts. This should easily net you 2B minimum per months extra for two chars. ---

The following is a list of good passive income methods, mostly listed from easiest to most difficult Planetary interaction -Set it up on some planets, keep it running and pick up the stuff every now and then and sell it. -Advanced and Specialized PI material production can net much higher profits, but requires much higher investment of time and isk, so is essentially not passive anymore. Then Market Hub Trading -Buy low sell high -Buy modules that have reprocessed mineral value greater than the module cost, and sell the reprocessed minerals Industry -Research blueprints for high demand products -Research the market to ensure you can buy the materials for less than the selling price of the product -Buy the materials, build the product and sell it. Research -Buy expensive blueprints and research them(capital ships, citadels etc) -Bundle all components together that users will need -Create copies and sell them through contracts Space rental -Create a large and powerful corp alliance -Dominate an area of null/lowsec -Threaten all small corps living in the area to give you isk in order to get onto your blue list ---
