@Battlemage1 said in Income strategies:

1. Build at least 1 trade station for every world. If possible, build orbital refinery too.

Just to add to this, Orbital Refineries work on adjacent gravity wells, and since the number of refineries required to 'work' mineral asteroids (the so called "refinery quota") is one, you do not need a refinery in every system. Ideally you want to look for worlds that link to multiple planets with asteroids, that way you can reduce the number of logistic slots you spend on refineries.
