If you are doing a trade run, use the Cartographer and look at nearby systems, each system mostly will have several small docks or shipyards where you can buy goods. Then return for a quick buck.
be careful early on trying assassination missions they tend to hide the intended target in a vast system with no clues as to where to go.

Patience is a virtue.
Im talking about all those big juicy visible ones that stand out lol
When you get to a new hotel room, find a big drawer, and put all those: cushions; throws; end of bed flags, strips; adverts; do not smoke signs; eat here tonight boards; love your pillow notices; menus; great deal boards; great deal menus; understand our washing policy, and such, in that drawer.
Move the kettle, sugar, mugs, adverts for better coffee, into another drawer or shelf that is somewhere more convenient to you.
Now we have cleared some space.
Now remove all towels from the bathroom - because, if you are going to smoke in there - they will betray you. Shove these hundreds of towels on top of something neatly.
Now you have a desk to work at, and you can puff away in the bathroom. Run the shower for a few minutes, and you should be undetectable.

Hummm one bit of advice.....
Best advice i can offer is to take a deep breath, then take your time reading through this whole thread. Not every single post is helpful but many of them are. Listening to people who offer advice doesnt mean you have to take it but gives you a chance to make your own mind up.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
Do NOT, pick a fight with someone bigger than you. (To the cobra who interdicted my FDL for a 6k bounty, I hope you learned this from our skirmish. [He lived, don't worry.])
Exercise some restraint (play fair)
If someone much smaller than you gives up half or all of their cargo after you've threatened them, don't just blow them away.
There was a YouTube link showing how classy it was to let live, but I can't find it now.

When flying a Cobra at a RES, don't take on that Imperial Dropship or that Anaconda that are wanted, you'll lose!
Maybe this has been mentioned before....Don't retract landing gear and press boost to get out of a station..
"Don't Panic" and always bring your towel
“A towel, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”
