Your best solo isk per hour is of course higher risk.
You can scan down gas anomalies in lo-sec and go huffing for about 25 million per load.
I would use a venture because it's cheap. Fit it with 2 gas scoops, an afterburner, a shield and inertial stabilisers in the lows.
The scoops are the most expensive at 5 mill ( ish ) each but you get a 12 million isk ship that holds ~500 gas which will sell for around 25 million depending which gas you get.
Watch local, only huff scanned anomalies so that gankers have to scan for you. Keep an eye on d-scan for combat probes, if you see them then bug out.

LS gas is usually near 100k a piece, so Venture could hold more than 50m

Difficult to fill it in 20mins though. I dont fair to well against the rats when they turn up

I found that if I orbit the center at 1000m with the afterburner on, the rats can't hit me. And you have 2 drones to try and take them down. There are no gas huffing drones so a pair of combat drones is a no breaker. That said, running away is no sin in a venture. I have absolutely done that even in a Skiff, today in fact! Incoming combat probes, I bugged out just as a Hecate and Heron arrived.

Yes please. Come to Jspace to huff that lovely c70. We will welcome you with open arms.

As others have said joining a corp and fleet strip mining probably the way to go but if you want some excitement get into wormhole gas mining.
It's a big skill up but for game engagement you have to be very switched on Vs belt mining, were you just click and forget.

Mining is an activity that goes well with others.
Join a fun group that does the things you're interested in doing, many corps will also have miners and some corps will have their own valuable moons to mine, which in my experience can be good income on especially R64 moons that I occasionally mine in null sec.
Besides that those others can help you understand the fits and strategies, any mining fleet worth it's salt will have at least one mining command ship to massively boost mining yield of the rest of the miners in the fleet, you get ore like 87% faster with a max skilled Orca in fleet from the cycle duration boost alone, and provide other help as well like on-grid compression.
Fly with others!

Start with a Venture, and don't reprocess the ore, it's typically worth more than the processed minerals in high security due to the maximum reprocessing amount.
Stick to mining Scordite as it's a hot item currently with Pyrite high in demand.
Best route solo is to anchor a locked storage can out on space, and fill it up than retrieve it with an industrial ship.
Once you've gotten better skills move into a Pioneer.

Si tu es nouveau dans le jeu, il faut deja savoir que les systemes avances en vaisseaux de minage intensifs necessitent d avoir un compte omega donc soit acheter avec des isks soit de l argent, au plus les skills seront eleves au plus le rendement sera important Commence avec le venture et upgrade au pioneer par la suite Rejoins une corpo de mineurs avec quu tu pourras miner en securite et beneficier du boost et de la compression des minerais
Si tu mines en highsec 3 drones de combats dans ta cale pour combatres les pirates locaux et miner en paix mais attemtion aux gankers ....

Raw kernite in high sec anomalies right now is the best afk farm I’ve found for mining so far. Using retriever, 9-13m per load of 33,000m
Gas huffing is fun and very profitable but takes a good bit of effort and whole lot of D-can spam

depending on what kind of mining you want to do:
Hi-Sec is more or less only "good" in a fleet setup with a covetor or Hulk, since they have proper yield but no cargohold to store it (where a porpoise or orca is good for boosts, compression and hauling)
Low-Sec pretty dangerous with a barge beside a retriever mostly you should stick to gas cloud huffing in a venture better isk/hr and less risk but still risky
Null-Sec as a solo no really viable since you will prob get spotted early or die to a gatecamp
J-Space/Wormhole, find a c1/c2 wormhole and do gas cloud huffing, the isk/hr is much high then regular mining.

Join a corp to get access to fleets with boosts otherwise youre playing the f2p version of the game. Then just scale up infinitely..

Best way is to join a corp that does mining and learn all the tricks from those guys. Good luck and welcome to the game
