Key word here being "Total Sales". Obviously OpenCart does not show the brutal 10% commission you earned on that amount

My commission is actually around 21 to 45%.....however consider this......


-The amount I spent building the website including the SSL certificate was 47 dollars.

-The website automatically sends the orders to the distributor...making it basically a no touch system....I simply check the orders and make sure they go through.  In all, I spend about 45 minutes a week on site maintenence.....that being configuring the XML files and uploading updates.


In all, its making a profit for basically no work and that's what matters.

If that's all true, then good on you.  You've found a way to legally make money for doing absolutely shit work.   :D

Legal and honest.  Now, I know I'm not going to become a millionaire but I can pay the bills and I don't have to mooch off the government or someone else.  Caliber Grocery Supply is a relatively new site...only been out for 5 months but I feel it will increase in revenue over time as I expand the line of products and get new vendors. 

People can hate if they want...that's fine but I'm making an honest living....not selling snake oil peptides...not doing webcam sessions....not selling steroids.....not ripping off people....not doing cheesy radio show...and not endorsing "Anti-Aging Clinics".....and not telling people I'm making money that I'm not.   Just keeping it real selling exercise equipment, supplements, and cans of organic beans and other food.

Yet in a previous post you said your lower bracket is just 5%. From my experience with brokers and commissions, the more powerful the player, the higher the commission and you're just an one-man show ::)

-The amount I spent building the website including the SSL certificate was 47 dollars.

-The website automatically sends the orders to the distributor...making it basically a no touch system....I simply check the orders and make sure they go through.  In all, I spend about 45 minutes a week on site maintenence.....that being configuring the XML files and uploading updates.

I'll give you some constructive criticism. Your site looks tacky. It is what it is: a simple opencart with a template slapped on top of it. Educated consumers will take a ten-second look at it and close the browser tab. In fact if you look at the IIS console on your web server (provided you're paying for such statistics, which I doubt since this is clearly a very low cost operation) you'll find that a significant portion of the visits on your websites are very short duration.

Cheap prices, tacky look and feel, slow-ish loading, p.o. box address  == alarm bells ringing for any experienced shopper. At least put in the effort to make a custom template.

I doubt you even have real time stock information on your distributor's items.

I spend about 300 dollars a month overall in Google Adwords for all of my websites.  I also use TheFind for free, and the stores are optimized to draw in organic traffic.  Over the years, I've found through trial and error what works and what doesn't.  My websites look basic and inexpensive looking on purpose to subliminally tell customers that the prices are low in addition to allowing for fast load times.  Caliber Grocery loads in 2.17 seconds despite having 18,000 products

Keep going and don't let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do.  You never know how far you can achieve and accomplish things
