Any PPC-CJ marketers out there?

I am wondering, whether there are successfull PPC to CommissionJunction affiliates out there? Would be interesting to hear from you how a noob should start and how to do it.

 

I tried it for a little while last year. I gave it up because 1. it wasn't profitable enough for me and 2. CJ stats are not real-time and it's hard to really know how well your campaign is doing.

If you have a good chunk of money. Spend time setting up a real campaign and an optimized landing page.

 

If you look around in the help section on CJ, there is an API that will report commissions in real time for you.....if the advertiser supports it, that is.

The tools are there to do it. .. just depends on if you can understand how to set it up.

Here is proof that it can be profitable:

Don't ask me how to do it, either. I already went that route trying to be nice to people. I showed a 'friend' how I can make $900 in 30 minutes on skype, and he turned 'enemy' on me as soon as he seen the actual proof. So.. don't even think about asking.. use your head, and figure it out like I had to. If you can't figure it out, then you are in the wrong business. It doesn't take SEO or any of that overrated time wasting B.S. either. All I do is copy and paste. Just depends what you copy, and where you paste it.

That's all you get for free out of me.
