$10,000 to get started at CJ???

I called CJ to see id they would sell my tshirts for me. This is what they responded with

"Overview of CJ Terms:


* One time network access fee $3,000 - covers technical integration, product catalog, and setup.

* Fund account before going live, $3,000 deposit (Must maintain minimum account balance of $500 thereafter.)

* 30% commission premium. After program launch, you will be charged the greater of 30% of affiliate commissions or $500 each month (Not both.)

* Total financial obligation $9,000 >> $3,000setup + (12x monthly minimum fee of $500) $6,000. "

Any one know of a cheaper way to get my shirts sold?

 

Your setup fee is $3000, the other $6000 is a pre-deposit of commissions that you probably would pay anyway.

You could also try Google AdWords, but I think that CJ is a less risk way to promote your business as you don't pay for traffic, but pay for what you sell.

No pain, no gain - you should analyse that propose seriously - if you can not pay, you should consider borrowing the money as an investment.

good luck

 

I think you need to think about it again, because such amount is not small IMO

 

Why don't you find another choice?

There are a lots of providers and cheaper.

 

for 10 grand you could buy a t-shirt website and sell your own t shirts lmao, if your even thinking about paying this you should think about making your own website. 10K spent even on a website would probably make you more profit in the long run

 

If you only need to sell your tshirt, http://www.cafepress.com/ would be a kind of help I wish.

They have a really good reputation from both the Merchant & Affiliate views.

 

$10k is only the beginning my friend. CJ has so many affiliate programs... $10k is just to let you play the field. After that you have to advertise your affiliate program and find people interested in working with you!

 

He probably has his own web site. The problem of setup an independent Affiliate program is that you need to have a reliable system for it -

He probably would spend more then this value by setup his own system and losses due publisher fraud.

 

Spend those in promoting the site + SEO it's a bether coice just my opinion

 

Woow you need to be - so confident in your product and to be a real pro to start. small fish often get lost in the sea.
You better open a clickbank ID.

 

I guess it works only with products where the customer value is high

 

Clixgalore is a cheaper alternative i believe.

 

I second that... make your own website and promote the heck out of it on Adwords and Yahoo!
