Profit is always figured as a percentage of your selling price, not by comparing it to your costs. Here's a handy formula for you.

For example, if your product costs are $20.00 and you sell your product for $40.00, here’s how the formula would work:

The world is ever changing. We have seen fads come and go, bands come and go, and hot markets come and go. But there is one thing that has kept on getting hotter, that is the need for someone to translate. Virtually every area yo for you.
