    The second. "off it" means derived or from it. It being the activity in quesiton.

    The first phrase has little sense

    "We can make enough money out of it." is correctly said.

    Personally I use "Off" when I want to turn off something, for example: "He turned off the light." I prefer using making money "out" of it. The use of the word "out" makes it correctly.
    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.
    Best regards
