Im not talking about a dollar or two here or there. From what i've read, this program doesn't have quality vendors and is a waste of time.
CJ definitely has some good vendors: ThinkGeek Expedia Travelocity Zappos Air France ... And yeah, I've made money with CJ. I like them better than Linkshare and whatever Google calls Performics.
Nope, thats not true. CJ does have a lot of good advertisers. I have made $$$$$ from them in the last 3 years.
I've made a decent sum of money with CJ. It is the #1 affiliate system out there, in my opinion. ShareASale.com is ok too.
You can make money from CJ, I make around £200 - £300 per month from my affiliate site at the moment, my site is just under a year old. You have to stick with it and let your site mature and have updated content at least once or twice a month.
Made around £400. Spend some more time on searching their vendors and make sure it relates to your sites. To be completely honest, CJ is the big boys in affiliate marketing. It ain't about their vendors it's about your site, how you market the links and if you're getting enough of the right visitors.
can you share the link where you have read that they don't have quality vendors? its totally wrong. yes, there are some fake persons but most of them are very well reputed. so you can start your carrier without any doubt.
I have, for me they have all the big retail and brand names from the states - theres always a bunch of big brands you can select for your latest niche, I usually have them for an alternative to people who wont buy through eBay which is my main method or if I want to put it up instead of CPC or a CPA offer.
just start with cj and hope going to earn from it remaining i can tell you when i see some result from it
