I have started my account before one month but I did't start earning anything.I was targeting web hosting niche and spend $200 for ppc but don't get a few cents back.
Good luck also getting paid from webhosting advertisers. Do a search and you will see people who have gotten lots of reversals.
Maybe adjust your mindset a little... CJ.com was initially not established to let people sign up with no background and let them earn money with niches they got no clue of.. but It was established for people running a website on a certain topic looking for ways to monetize the traffic they got with a niche appropriate product.. Granted, in days of PPC, everybody can do it.. but I suggest you to build a very niche website, do keyword-research first, build it up, add a blog, produce content, get traffic and then convert.. it's always work involved, but it's a better start and you are building something substantially.. ehmm. yehh .. and don't register a new domain like I did. you can save yourself half a year by buying an old domain, maybe even a premium domain with pr and backlinks
I haven't made a single sale on my web hosting links through CJ. My best links all go to a specific product rather than to a general website.
I have heard of a few people making over 1 Million a year doing this, but most people fail to make anything, depends on how well known you are.
The learning curve is very deep and it is really not for newbies. By the way, I have been a member of CJ for more than 1 year. But every time I try to apply for their program, many of them rejected my application!
Web hosting is a tough & highly competitive market - it's almost a commodity now. I used to run a web host, and can also tell you that there is a high percentage of fraudulent orders for web hosting accounts.
