The essence of production is not which drawings are profitable. And where can I get cheap minerals? With cheap raw materials, any drawing will be profitable if you got minerals at 20% of the market value, for example. Cheap raw materials can be obtained if you buy minerals not directly, but with buy order. Or cheap ore, which can then be turned into resources.
If you can’t get the minerals cheaply, you mark up the produced items by 20% and sell them.
If they don’t buy from you at this price, you sell not in the Hubs, but in the periphery. Since trading not in the hub is now relevant, due to the fact that from Amar to Jita there are 40+ jumps. No one will fly 30 jumps in one direction for ammunition. People look for items on the periphery if the hub is far away.
From one alpha account, you will have 12 production lines, 3 blueprint upgrades and 51 sell orders.
So the maximum is 50 items per 1 account. You buy 50 drawings and use them as your guide. Gradually improving them, or if claims allow, then look for ready-made, upgraded drawings in contracts. Or you can buy copies to save the isks and time.
If you want to increase the assortment by 500 items, for example, you will have to either take Omega or create 10 accounts, and you will have 30 characters, 120 production lines, 30 blueprint upgrades and 510 orders at the same time.

The lower the price of your selling items, the faster people will buy them. But the assortment is also important, similar to the principle of a supermarket, although the products there are more expensive, but the choice is very huge.
Ideally, it is better to produce in factories with 0% tax, or you will have to deduct a percentage from the purchase of minerals, or put a higher price on the finished product.
If you live on 20% of production margin, then logically, for paying omega time from manufacturing margin, you will have to make a turnover of 12 billion ISKs or so. That is, buy minerals for 12 billion, and produce goods for the same amount and sell them.
If people don’t want to buy the product, you discount it to 10%. Stagnation is very bad; there should always be a turnover of manufactured items.
Thus, sitting at the station you can make 12 kkk for yourself, omega for 20% of production and you will get just 2.4 kkk.
Therefore, if you have 100kk, then you will receive 20kk from turnover. But when you buy 100kk worth of manufactured goods every day, it will already be +600kk. Now imagine how much you can earn in production if you sell 12 billion worth of goods every day with a 20%, even 10 or 5% profit?
It turns out that with 20% per month it is 72 billion, with 10 - 36 billion, and with 5 - 18 billion. Turnover is very important!
