So i recieved the confirmation email from CJ telling me what it is, and if I'm still interested to send them my URL and details of the program I'm looking to launch including the commission amount. What does this mean exactly, I don't have a website yet, because I was thinking of looking through the CJ affiliates in order to get some ideas and build my site around one (or more) of them. I wanted to create a BANS type site (w/out using BANS hopefully), but I'm not quite sure yet where I should research to figure out my topic. Should I go to ebay and go through the listings? Should I somehow get access to CJ's affiliates and search through them? Should I do some keyword research (but then I may be stuck with good keywords but not affiliate, or hit a dead end in terms of keyword ideas)?
you should do all of that.... Use your brain... this can be easily answered. Ofcourse you do all thee things.... how else would you find the niche to trarget or find products available for that niche.
Um... I think you probably contacted their ADVERTISER salespeople, and not signed up for their PUBLISHER end of things...
You're exactly right, I've actually figured it out already, my mistake Of course I know that all three of the above need to be utilized but was just caught off guard with this email asking me to submit my program. I've signed up as a publisher now and everything is good, I'm onto the market/keyword research part of my project.
