Which one sounds correct?
- I am not making any money off of this product.
- I am not making any money out of this product.
If you tell me both, then how would you explain "off" here as it doesn't sound right to me since "make off" means:
Run away; usually includes taking something or somebody along

I'd prefer the second one, although not because of the reason you cited.
"Make money off (of) something" is different from the phrasal verb "make off."
Both "make money out of" and "make money off" are actually right.
For me though, "make money off" may also be used to imply an unscrupulous method of generating income.
