No self-mining, no friends in transports and no POBs. You sit in a field with a freighter or other small ship and prepare 5k of ore, then you scan the playerlist for potential buyers or, even better - post a mining operation notification on the forum to see what shows up.
Even when you sell the ore for 1k per unit, the amount of money you make as long as you have a few people running it for you is amazing. And it is even better profit for those players, given that most POBs sell it at a cost of 3-4k per unit.
The signature of this post should pretty much explain the specific kind of approach as well as the reason for it, but it is the gist of it.
Mining -is- fun, but only if you do it right.
As someone who loves to mine, no matter for how long and if I get cash or not I will always mine. As I already said to so many people, I enjoy mining more then PvP.
