Having ""large"" Revenue But Small Profits

Hey everyone,

I'm 20 and I currently make a living promoting products online. I don't own an e-commerce store myself, I basically earn a commission every time someone buys through my content.

Last month I generated around €30k in sales, but after everything I only kept around €3k.

Don't get me wrong, I live in Italy, so €3k/month is still a good income for my age and I'm grateful for it. But at the same time I can't help feeling that my margins are pretty thin considering the amount of attention and sales my content is able to generate. Like everyone else, I'm always trying to improve, learn, and grow.

I always see people online saying they make €10k, €50k or even €100k a month. But are they talking about revenue or actual profit?

Revenue is cool, but at the end of the day what matters is what actually ends up in your pocket.

Is a 10% profit margin considered normal in this business, especially considering I don't have to handle customer support, logistics, refunds, or inventory?

For some context, I'm not in one specific niche. I promote products across different categories and I'm currently ranked in the top 100 creators in the "mixed" category in my country. Getting views and driving sales isn't really the problem, I almost (not always) can create content for every products in every niche.

My plan is to eventually launch my own e-commerce brand, so I can keep a much bigger share of every sale instead of just earning a commission, but I am open to advices and tips.

I thank you all in advance
p.s. I put "large" in quotes because I know there are people here doing 10x these numbers ????
