Okay so I am a newbie to Commision Junction. I have never heard of CJ before. Can you help me start with CJ. Some questions popping in my mind are: What exactly is CJ? What do I need to be successful in CJ? Is it worth the time? Is it better investment of time then Google Adsense? How does it work? Please care to answer the above question or lead me to a previous blog entry answering my questions above.
What exactly is CJ? --It's an affiliate union. What do I need to be successful in CJ? --Don't talk, go now!!! Is it worth the time? --CJ is goldmine or bullshit, depend on your work. Is it better investment of time then Google Adsense? --Hard to say yes or no, Adsense guru thinks adsence is better. How does it work? --2 ways: do sem/seo or do adwords.
Simple but best answers CJ is the right place for everybody if he want to start affiliate marketing. and You need to learn while doing
I'll try to provide my variant of answers. What exactly is CJ? It is an affiliate network (company, organization). What do I need to be successful in CJ? 1) Drive traffic 2) Pre-sell affiliate products 3) Call to action 4) Close the sale If you mean the tools or skills needed to be successful in CJ, then you need marketing skills, basic IM skills, web hosting, writing skills, etc. Is it worth the time? A definite yes. Is it better investment of time then Google Adsense? Both are good, do both. Use AdWords to drive traffic even. How does it work? There's the hard labour way (whitehat), deceptive (greyhat), and the purely scam (blackhat) ways. Or substitute those with "free will", "coercion" and "forced". Hope I don't write anything wrong there
