get artisan 0-0-3-0 and sell Cheff addatives (don't ask us what you should charge cause it's differnt for every server), petstims, and pet vitality packs.. thats how I've made all my millions.
and believe me, once you get the 20k of meat and make your first full run it won't take long to sell it. my first full run was prolly one of the most satisfying things I've done in the 8 months or so as a master BE.

A full run is 40 crates (ie a schematic will produce 1000 items)
If you're really interested in the business side, I recommend getting planetary advertising from the merchant skill tree.
Put a crate of additives and a single on the bazaar and label them with the waypoint to your shop.
Always have your skills and vendor waypoint in your forum sig and post a lot on your galaxy forum
(not advertising posts, just general banter, as your forum personality gets more well known, so will your in game character)
Always keep your MBE tag up

i don't have much money either and i'm working on mastering be. it's an expensive profession to master so what little money have goes pretty fast. so basically whenever i'm running low on money and need to make some quick cash, i throw together a batch of lv 10 pets and head off to the starports and sell them off. i usually can make at least 100k in an evening, which gets me the money i need to go out and get more resources and the money to travel around and do some hunting so i can work on my other professions as well and get meat in the process.

If you need money you mustnt forget that you have the touch of death. Take a mission on an advanced planet and you can make cash pretty fast

I did a full scale advertising plow when I started making additives. I made a full run of some sweet +86 additives, went to the trade forums and started the bidding at a nice low 1 million creds. This worked great for me: I made 1.9 million for them (300k more than my normal selling price), I made loads of chef contacts and it helped establish my name as a MBE.

I would say the most common is Broad Spectrum Nutrients, Chefs will be interested in small amounts of the others but from my experience they are always needing BSNs. Nutritional suppliments are used to increase the power of foods making them far more popular than those with reduce filling or increase the number of doses.

YOu might have better luck with Tailor tisses to start with, Active bio Sensors are really easy to sell to Tailors for a nice proffit alsong as tehy are above +13 to both stats, this is nowhere near max, just enough to stack 2 to get +25. also, they are a lot easier to get the resources for since you don't need to sell full runs and it doesn't need to be top quality resources
.Once you get the money to move on, chef tissues are great for making money, however I decided not to work for chefs. they were rude to me and also didn't like paying my prices, even though my prices were what I saw as cheap.
