Made: total revenue
Made after expenses in raw materials (that is, the cost of what you are selling): gross profit
Made after all expenses: net profit

So, for instance, you sell books for $25 each. That's your total revenue on them.
However, you buy them for $10 each, so your gross profit per book is only $15.
But wait... you need an office, a phone, a company car, etc, and you have to pay your taxes ofcourse. Let's say that averages out on $10 a book. Then, your net profit is $5 per book.
