    Does anyone know any good info on becoming a CJ Advertiser.

    I have a service I wanted to sell over CJ... but their website is incredibly limited when it comes to information. More specifically I want to know the monetary requirements for joining CJ. Signup fee's etc.

    I put in my application but still have not heard back from them... Guess they take a while to respond.

    Last I checked it was over $5,000 to set up. They are also very particular about who they accept. So if you are site is too new or your product is already over staurated in CJ then they won't take you on.

    CJ is great and must needed for larger brands and affiliate programs that have the potential to be huge. There are a couple other networks better suited to smaller merchants.

    Also you say you are selling a service as opposed to a product. Some networks are better than others for services or you may possibly want to go pay per lead, depending on the service.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    Thanks for the replys!

    5Star you mentioned you knew some affiliate advertisers that may do better with smaller companies that provide service. Do you have any you can recommend?

    Thanks!
