1) The project wasn't 1 month. This is just what we did in the roughly 1 month since we launched.

2) Yes, if you multiply the over 100 sales by our purchase price, we did over $10,000.

3) We don't convert html to PDF. Customers pick a resume design, upload their resume content (in Word or TXT or whatever,) and then we custom typeset it and send them a PDF as a digital file. Our graphic artists are great at making multiple pages look outstanding. There's also a revision process to make sure it pleases the customer.

4) The demos are really the designs you see on the site. Since all of our resumes are custom-typeset in inDesign by a graphic artist, we can't demo a customer's actual resume until we go through the entire process.

I think you should market your manual process more aggressively. Generating from templates is easy and cheap, but that a professional graphic artist is doing it, makes quite a difference.
I agree. I had no idea it was custom made by a graphic designer.. that would explain a lot more the 100$ cost and the fact that there's no demo.
