There are quite a few ways to do that:

Transfer mining is slow if you dont have a good miner.

Vulturing can get you profit but its risky, you need a good freighter and people will hate you.

Boom mining is better than normal minig with average of 60% more profit per dump according to my calculations.

Alien farming can get you some quick cash to buy materials, you earn up to 3k per swarmer and 30k per punisher.

Farming swarmers is decent when starting, dont go for the punishers if you arent using a dread or higher, just get a high accuracy ship like mjolnheimr or hyron to kill swarmers and a freighter to loot (1 swarmer takes about 350 cargo hold I think)
