You can make millions of credits per hour from normal trading... but it requires high volumes of goods, and so requires a ship with a nice big cargo capacity.

Trading rare (yellow) goods, rather than normal goods, is a good way to make a lot of money early on in the game, as the profit per tonne is very high - but rather than needing a large cargo capacity you instead have to put up with long journeys to maximise the profit (e.g. 150ly).

Below that, doing Bulletin Board contracts to trade or smuggle goods can give you a good start.
