Hi, I am new to this kind of stuff. I am looking to sell other sites products (garden/flowers) on my site or have links to their site to buy their products in which case I make money if they do. I am signed up to CJ. Can I sell other people's products(have their products advertised with buy now buttons, redirects to their buy now on their site). Also what do all the EPC and so forth mean, and what is the more important when deciding which to use. Thanks in advance.
If you're with CJ then I would suggest talking to your AM there. Most places don't have any problems with you branching out to maximize profits but talk to the source to find out for sure. EPC is your average earning per click. It's just a guide really. I am not sure what the last part of your question means, but I hope this helps you a bit!
Small correction: EPC on CJ means earnings per 100 clicks. So if a merchant shows a 3-month EPC of $50.00, it means that on average you would have to send 200 customers to their site through your link in order to make $100.00 in affiliate commissions. One good strategy is to look for the highest EPC programs. When you look at the links available for a particular merchant in CJ, it shows you what types of links are permitted and how to construct them. Just explore all the different link types that show up and decide which ones you want to use.
