So far the two I've looked at Amazon Associates (aStore), and CJ both require a pre-existing website before you sign up and get access to poke around. The problem is, I don't have one yet. I want to see what kind of product offers I can promote, THEN register a domain and create the site according to which on either site looks most promising for me. I tried to explain it the best I can, am I missing something here?
I can tell you CJ has just about everything under the sun...so I doubt you would have any problems matching a product or products to what you decide on. I also recommend checking Pepper Jam / Link Connector when you get a site going.
Not the point. I don't feel comfortable wasting money on something that there is even a 50% chance that will not work out.
Get a free site at blogger.com Yes, it's a blogging platform but it will give you a web site to use and register with. Then poke around. BTW, Amazon offers everything amazon.com offers. Plus you have access to the estore, widgets, etc Problem wtih Amazon is a low commission rate
Quick tip - build one proper mainstream site and this will let you in most networks. Say health supplement site and once you in, you can look around at other offers. As well you might want to look at MoreNiche.com - as they don't require a site as long you can explain it reasonably on the sign up page.
