Commission Junction Question

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by vividbeauty, Feb 3, 2009.

    I've been an affiliate for CJ and have only 4.00 left to reach payout. I am getting clicks and yesterday I got 30 clicks but no signups. Could something else be going on or people just aren't signing up? Has this happened to anyone? It seems like it's taking forever to reach payout.

    Thanks!

    Hi This is a reminder........

    Jan.1-Jan 30 if you are on direct deposit and you earn $46.00 you will not be paid.
    Cj's paying is a bit confusing and I know this isn't what you were asking. But I am bored.
    So I will use me as a example because I know my numbers by heart.
    My Pending Commissions are $6401.30 to date. But I will only be paid $5375.00 on Feb. 20th(if all goes well)
    The Remaining 1026.30 is what I have earned so far in the month of Feb.

    So if you have 46.00 in your pending commissions and lets say 45 is from jan and 1.00 is from feb and tomorrow you make 200.00 You won't be paid until march.
    As far as your question, lead sign ups are come and go. Just becareful who you do business with, some advertisers are snakes.

    You are doing very well with cj. I not going to ask how you did it and what niche your in. I'm just glad to see positive numbers like yours as opposed to seeing and reading about how cj is no good and why people don't make money from cj. I have been with cj for a couple of months now and I must admit that I have not made any money as of yet. However, I see great potential. Just seeing your post confirmed it for me again. Good Luck and Good Luck to me as well.

    Make sure you keep an eye on your "clicks from invalid" links (bottom corner of CJ.com account screen when you sign in). Often you'll be referring visitors to an affiliate that is no longer paying out commissions. Make sure you take out these links or replace them with another affiliate from a similar industry.

    Easy response to how did I do it.
    well i wake up around 3 am. Check my websites, currently 16 of them. Update my blogs, go to google make sure my ppc ads are good, if I find them not good time to get creative and make new ones. Keep my eye on ppc pricing I never pay more that .09 per click it is set like that.
    Check out CJ, Linkshare see if any new offers come in. Check email to see if any new coupon codes are available. if so put them on applicable sites. Usually spend a hour or so in another affiliate forum checking out whats happening with cj see if I can't learn anything new......go back to blogging, read the news. Eat lunch.. STOP working.
    Companies I promote...... Fatcow inhouse. 100.00/sale
    sunsetter awning CJ.com 10.00/lead
    coolsavings CJ.com 1.00/lead fun easy lead
    fingerhut Linkshare 5%/sale or something like that Love fingerhut
    avon Linkshare I forgot but it is better than some think
    evitamins CJ.com I forgot I do good though.....
    tvsilencer Linkshare I forgot this is off and on
    Cash4books inhouse 5/lead

    I've never done much with CJ in terms of revenue, I always thought that there was some secret to it that I was missing. Looking at that "How I Do It" post above I can see there's no secret, just hard work. That's inspired me to start working on my CJ campaigns again, and I mean really working on them. Cheers.
