Of course it is. If you know what you're doing, it's even possible to get filthy rich. The great thing about affiliate marketing is that there's no cap on how much you can make. It's all down to you. Of course, most people don't make squat. They lose all their money and move on. Affiliate marketing is bloody difficult.
I can tell you for a fact that it's very possible if you're willing to do the work. I know someone who makes 6 figures a year from it. Now granted they put a LOT of work into their site and it wasn't easy. I take their success as an inspiration as what can be accomplished with CJ.
I have a month working with cj. I havn't made my first sale yet. I hope it can work fine for me. Reinaldo.
Cj is all about selecting the good advertiser related to your site. Select the best and earn at top... Its all CJ
Hard work dedication sure it's always possible however I worked it hard for about 6 months with no revenue and well guess I just didn't work hard enough. If you have the time though for sure, it's possible.
You have to find the right nich and find the motivations of your traffic then find an affiliate program that works for your site then you have to put the ads in the right place etc etc adsense is so much simpler and easier to make money with but the right affiliate marketing can make you much richer
I agree it's totally about traffic... learning about SEO has a really important role. I started in November with no knowledge of online marketing and I'm working with a few programs after branching out from Commission Junction to round out a few niches. I've made almost $1,000 with CJ in about 3 months. Best of luck!
in 4 months I have made squat with cj and my blog gets increasing traffic. Unless you get major click thru rate thern its a hard row to hoe.
I agree that you can make good money with affiliate marketing. That being said CJ never really works for me but maybe I have just had bad luck with them.
what kind of a traffic your site gets? How much clicks you get per day? First you must measure the success of your site in terms of visitors per day. A lot of people who complain about affiliate / ppc networks fails to understand the basic - you need good traffic to make money, both quality and quantity matters. If you can get 100 clicks on cj links per day, you will end up making good money in most niches. Targetted, large traffic is the key. if your site gets 10 random visitors per day it means you are failure as a webmaster. Dont even think of putting any kind of a on your site.
