Yeah. IMG will get you millions of credits in no time flat. Provided you take part in our rituals of prayer to the "Cannon" the one that bestowed the fields with bountiful ore.
Make enough money the hard way to get a BWT, figure out what sort of roleplay you want to do, and pick a commodity accordingly - or use flstat and find profitable commodities/trade runs, do some research and shape your character's RP to fit with that commodity. Then expand on it further as you get along.
I'd recommend a junker character as you get a wide set of privileges being "semi-lawful" - you can dock on lawful and unlawful bases alike, and you have a lot of commodities and trade routes to choose from. I made my money mostly by hauling cardamine/slaves on a Junker Salvager.
EDIT: The "correct" answer would probably be Ore hauling, as you make a lot of money for each run. But hauling ore makes you a target (more so than hauling anything else), and you have to travel through dangerous systems, so there is a high risk of getting very very frustrated, as well as suffering some losses (if you buy the ore). If you can handle the frustration, this might be the "best" way to make money. Even more so if you join a mining faction that do convoys/escorts and mining.
i think the fastest way is using the loot mod to shoot rocks to drop credit cards, but i think thats not the answer that you need.
the fastest way is to get a loans to buy a ship, and then powertrade to pay off the loan (100m will set you up with a ptrans, armour, shield and guns).
then powertrade some more, or hok up with pirates for some cargo piracy.

Don't try to powertrade in a ptrans. It's outlawed in most houses, so you'll just get yourself a whole lot more attention than you want.
