I have heard of a few people making money with SMC, but a lot depends on how and where you intend to sell. SMC is happy to sell the website to any and every person willing to pay for it. Not sure about the present situation, but once upon a time, their "cookie cutter" websites were saturating the web. Do a google search to see how many matches you get. The more competition there is online, the harder it will be to draw in customers to your site.
SMC sent me their info, unsolicited, years ago, promoting 29 ways to sell their products. Mostly is was various ways to retail - roadside display, flea markets, weekend garage sales, door to door catalog delivery possibly having some samples along, direct mail of catalogs (mail order), doing home parties, etc, as well as wholesale, and even letting others sell under your dealership. They will sell you all the catalogs you want, many with themes and holiday timing.
Nothing about them interested me, and the more I heard, the more I found wrong with their opportunity and products.
Personally, I prefer B2B marketing, rather than B2C. Business2Business means fewer sales calls, but larger volume and commissions. I started my B2B 23 years ago - 1984 for those not interested in doing the math.
I have a large number of businesses who have been ordering from me for 15 to 22 years, with well over 80% of my clients having been doing business with me over 5 years. But, I still add one to four new customers every month.
I doubt very many people with SMC have a high repeat business, which is the bulk of my monthly and annual sales.
If you want to learn more, seek out someone who is doing well with SMC, and ask about selling through them. They get some profits while you are learning, and you get a mentor who has already found at least one way to make it work.
