    Well.... depends on what kind of traffic you have, how targeted they are, what the goal of those websites are and how engaged your audience is.

    if you dont have content you will need a million websites. if you have good content that number is much lower.

    I just start my CJ account only yesterday, and I got $100 in my account.From my little knowledge, to earn from CJ first select a good paying niche.Then create a website regarding that.Then do all type of marketing that you can.

    expect to make that within maybe 6-12 months, and expect not to make much at in for the first 3-4 months :)

    Hello Guys,

    Thank you all for your advise. I have some other questions.

    1) How do you select a paying niche?

    2) When I create the website for the paying niche I found on cj, do I need to apply with the merchant before I start promoting their products?

    3) Is it important for the website to look very nice?

    4) I've seen other people cj website and they only have the merchant's products and some few writing words about the products on top of the website. Are these writing words what you call the content on a website?

    5) Can you explain what you mean by "how engaged my audience is on the website". Does, this mean my website have to look good?

    I will appreciate any good answers from you guys.

    You have to select the product with a good market, and of course its important to make your website look interesting for your visitor.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to have 1 or 2 websites, in case you have websites. In case you do not have websites of your own, try using free blogs. Incorporate your products with banners in websites/blogs. By having a website or blog is not sufficient. One should get to know how to drive traffic/visitors to your website/blog. That's the most important thing.
    - You can try sending mails to your friends/relatives or near ones with your blog/website at the end of the message.
    - Submit your blog to search engines which are free or paid or post comments on others blog.
    - Join Groups such as Yahoo or Google
    - Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites
    - In case you are conversant with article writing, submit articles on your products to various free article submission sites which have a good ranking.

    1. Research, research, research.
    2. Of course.
    3. Yes. Eye candy helps.
    4. I guess so. But I bet you they don't get much sales or leads if they have only "some few writing words." :)
    5. Not only does your website look good, but that it also have great content. An engaged audience is one that is responsive to what you are writing (ex. If you tell them to check a product out, will they do it?). If you want that kind of audience you have to establish trust and credibility first.

    Well, that's that. Hope my answers help.

    :)

    If you're just getting started, you may want to go w/ a free blog because then you don't have to shell out money for a domain name and hosting. When you get comfortable with that, I'd suggest buying a couple domain names, getting some cheap hosting (Godaddy works well) and then working on creating a basic html site.

    The bottom line is getting traffic, and if I ever figure that out I'll let you know. :)

    Wrong, My first month I did $1457.00 My Second month I did $459.00 And this is my 3rd payment did "so far" a little over 1500.00. Don't let anyone tell you it will take 3-6 months to start making money online. Just do some research on what is hot. Get creative, and market yourself/website/blog.

    Although I like what is "hot" zdj299... it might pay more to first go with what you know best. You're more likely to put long term effort into something you enjoy.

    As a start..just promote the PPL programs they have in CJ and you can easily make that much..

    But of course you need a website/blog related to what you are promoting..my idea maybe you can start a blog on freebies and start promoting PPL leads (what i am doing now) but there is a way to get a lot of leads without even buying them..plus each lead you give will be counted and paid.

    3.5 years making money with CJ non-stop...hehe! :D

    PS : I never ever sold a single thing on CJ but still rank in $1500+ every month.

    Hello Everyone,

    Thank you all again for your advise and encouragements. I really appreciate it. These words will get me going, because I get discourage sometimes.

    Hey, jodyq Your picture shows that you are a lady. Are you a lady? I thought I was the only lady here. I'm very very happy for you and I wish you start making some big money soon.

    Right now, my only problem is creating websites and I'm seriously trying to find a way to create them myself.

    Someone told me Joomla can help me create a website easy, but when I went on the website I didn't see any place to click and start building the websites. I will appreciate if someone show me what to do, or recommend any site that can help me create websites easily for my cj products.

    Yes I am a female! I hope my pic isn't too craigslisty... LOL anywhoo. ZDJ299 nice copy work. Funny person ya are.???? U know I have that sentence trademarked?
    I think (this is where it gets tricky because it is a rare act) jk, If I promoted what I know then my 6 customers that I would have would only bring in about $47.00 a year or less. I do things as the times change. Like now, everyone is working and broke, so get a loan site. Or it is near Halloween (I don't celebrate so I know nothing about it) but I have a site for the seasons. Shoes got one. hockey got one, golf got one. soccor don't have one and so on. I am learning about these because I promote them, the more I learn about them the more money I make. Just my thought, I can keep rambling for days.

    Can someone explain a PPL program???

    As I know how hard it can be to get someone to actually buy something...though from what im reading I get the impression you can earn big money on just having leads?
