Get a content site up, apply for CJ. Then apply for whatever programs you want to promote. Make a landing page for that product, throw up some adwords and there you go.
buy my e-book[check my signature] and see how [if you live in US, I don't follow this CJ coz it has you too write review about the stuff except to promote it,..... I really not on that spot,...
Well, I would suggest start putting in 10+ hour days. Nothing is easy in this game. Go ahead and put your blackhat on, but I guarantee you'll be at square one after a while. Nothing in life is easy...work hard and you will have success.
I would suggest you to build a website (use Wordpress to do that quickly - there are many good free themes) and start promoting CJ offers. Write about a product or hire a writer to write some texts for you.
I wouldn't recommend adwords to promote CJ products unless you have some decent and recent experience, otherwise you may lose all your advertising $$.
keep in mind that with CJ there are some companies that manually review the sites before they let you put their ads on it. just because you are approved for CJ doesn't mean you will get approved for every company you want to ad for. I have had the most success with web hosting, but there are so many people doing it now that died off a while back. I tried the adwords for my CJ affils, and i got paid $40 from CJ, but i spent $75 with google. if you decide to try that there are pros who will make your ads for you, or go to the library and read as much as you can.
Interesting! I don't remember when was the last time I went to the library since the age of internet. I conduct everything online and don't have to go to the library for it. Also, I get the most up-to-date info instead of books sitting on bookshelves.
