He sold this soap to fancy department stores. The soap also functioned as a source of materials for homemade explosives. It's likely that Tyler was busy setting all of this up during the time the Narrator was attending the groups and was sleeping through the night he thought he was, anyway. This would also be when he bought the Paper Street House under the Narrator's name.
By the time the Narrator's insomnia returned, Tyler had already firmly established himself in the world behind the Narrator's back.
Throughout the story, Tyler attempts to forcefully guide the Narrator to enlightenment by encouraging him to hit bottom. He wanted to gradually destroy the Narrator's empty, societally-programmed self.
If he had succeeded, there would have no longer been any distinction between the Narrator and Tyler, and the split "Tyler Durden" persona wouldn't have been needed anymore. But by the end of the story, Tyler realized that he failed. The Narrator remained strongly opposed to Tyler's goals, and viewed Tyler's attempt to free him self as a hostile takeover of his mind. He never reached the full understanding that Tyler Durden was his real personality.
The personality he percieved as "himself" was actually the fake, having been programmed into his head by society.

Tyler is on a one-man revenge mission against the world, relieving himself in the soup in fancy restaurant kitchens and turning human fat stolen from liposuction clinics into soap — which he then sells back to the rich women it came from in the first place. And he demonstrates that the only way for men to really feel anything is to beat the living hell out of each other in underground fight clubs.
Fight Club the movie is brutal, sexy, violent, stylish and, superficially at least, has a powerful message: the things we own end up owning us. But is that the message at all, in fact? Is it really an anti-consumerist statement, or something else entirely?

Plot devices and editing techniques are the main way Fincher tells us that the narrator is Tyler Durden without actually telling us. Another way, though, is through speech.
