Get Research Agents (will require some skills that are accessible only by buying game time).Transport resources you've purchased cheaply to the planet, take away resources you've created on the planet.

This is a good alternate source of resources if you can't produce enough raw material to satisfy your factories (and really, who can?)

Post low buy orders for all the planetary resources you're producing on your planet as detailed in 1-2.

Set them to run for as long as it will be till you can set them again.

Keep those extractors running constantly.

Find a planet that you can produce that item on, drop a Command Center on it, build extractors (and factories if necessary) to produce that item.

Use the market to find a planetary resource that sells well in your area.

Develop Planetary Infrastructure (will require some skills that are accessible only by buying game time).

People will pay a good price if you're selling the item they want at the station they want.

Collect your purchases, transport them to the market hub (or anywhere that you can get a good price for them) and post a sell order for them.

Find items that have a high trade volume in your region and that you can post a low buy order for.

Notice the systems that the majority of buy and sell orders are based in, this is the 'regional market hub'. Also explore the 'details' section where you can see the volume traded per day and the low and high prices that day. This will teach you the basics of how it works: buy orders and sell orders.

Use the market to buy things you need and sell things you don't need.

Kill NPCs (preferably in 0.0 space with low true-sec) - you'll be able to make between 20M and 30M a 'tick' (20 minutes of flying anomalies).

This does bring up the valid question of how to use those three methods to generate ISK. On the whole though, I'd say that if your 'addiction' only means a couple hours a week, then you haven't got any addiction to speak of. Some necessary skills are not accessible as an Alpha clone and will require subscribing. Warning: Some mission grinding to increase faction standing will likely be required. And you'll have to play a bit more than a couple hours a week to get it up and running, too.

You'll need a while to set all that up, and now that EVE Online has Alpha clones, which are free to play, you have the ability to set up most of the skills you need without subscribing.

Research Agents, Planetary Infrastructure, and The Market are the three biggies. Instead of actively playing (which can easily take more than a couple hours a week) you need to utilize all the methods of generating income while offline. The only difficulty is in that 'know what you're doing' part. If you know what you're doing and have the time, you should be able to fund the PLEX you need with in-game currency.

Eve Central has the market listing for 30 day PLEX here. You can check the price of items on the market out of game using online tools, such as Eve Central. So, the price can go up or down over time. PLEX are purchased by other players and listed on the market, which means it's affected by the normal supply and demand that affects nearly every marketable item in EVE. You can buy a 30-day PLEX from the in-game market.
