If you're going to do mining I suggest joining a mining corp who can provide security and show you the way.
Don't let people extort you by selling you a 'mining permit'.
If you're an alpha clone I recommend filling in the hauling role rather than the mining role. People with omega accounts and skills can mine much faster and proficiently than you can atm.
edit- oh and if you do join a 'mining corp' make sure it's not a ploy to steal all the gains or use less understanding players to feed a bigger corp.
Rule #1 If it's too good to be true it probably is.

Just joined up with a person last night who has been playing for around 2 weeks. Got my venture set up & found some belts near a station where I can make around 1 mill isk every 15 minutes
Not too much but will definitely help me get started buying the beginner ships & trying out exploration.
I do have a question though. Currently I use the venture with 2 miner 1's, shield, afterburner. I am mining in 0.8 security & keep running into red npc ships, currently training my drone skill so I can keep them out as guards while I mine. Do you think they can take out a 0.8 red ship? Didn't seem to hurt me much once I went close to him but not sure how to go about killing them. Would be nice to learn since they are in almost all the belts I mine.
Usually go around to all the belts until I find one without a npc ship
