Mining Guide for Beginners part 1

Hi-Sec Mining Guide in EVE Universe

Hey fellow Miners !!!..Welcome ...:)
This is a beginners' guide who wants to carry on with mining in EVE.
You can make lots of ISK with mining while sitting in a mining barge or frigate.
Lets go...

1. Set your overview tabs: Right click on "Default" tab on your overview window and select add tab. Then right click on the new tab, hover on "Load Overview Profile" and select "Mining" here...You can add more tabs like this here..as many as you want ...I personally added Loot and Drones tabs too.
2. Use a Survey scanner. Train the skill as quickly as possible if you don't have it (Electronics lvl 1).
3. Carry mining drones and scout drones on board. Group them in your "Drones Overview" (not in the tab) as mining and combat drones. 
4. Always watch your overview. If an NPC pirate pops up just right click the mining group and order them to return to the drone bay and launch the combat group.
5. Get close to the asteroid you are mining..like 3000-4000 km. Give it to your mining drones. Then select and lock the further asteroids for mining lasers. 
6. Get a mining barge as soon as possible.
7. Venture is a good ship for beginner miners. I will talk about ships more later..
8. Don't trash excess minerals after refining. Choose a home station for yourself and always bring your load there. The excess amount of minerals after refining them stack up in there so everytime you unload there, select "Stack all" on the context menu and stack the same kind of minerals and you will avoid wasting your hardly earned minerals.
9. Get strip miners as soon as possible.
10. First stick in 1.0 or 0.8 sectors. Then go to lower sectors but not lower then 0.6 if you are solo. Scout drones like Acolyte I or Hornet etc are enough to cover your back up to 0.6 security. 
11. Bookmark location of the asteroid you are close to and when you undock, select that location instead of the asteroid belt.
