So is it _really_ worth paying the $2,5k activation fee for CJ accounts?

We got a reply from CJ asking $2,5k for activating our merchant account.

Is it really worth it, what do you think? Can it give good sales for a very niche specific product?

 

Sure, CJ is the best network around. Go ahead. If there is very little or no conversions, you can always charge back the leads of the publisher. Though such practice is not common.

 

So you can charge back that money if the thing doesn't work for you?

Interesting

 

I do not think you can get the money back that is to set up account. Thier are other Cpa networks that cost less. You can try them first and if you do well then use money you earn to set cj account up.

 

That's the thing, didn't really find anything worthy. ClickBank had problems with our site (www.variantguide.com), and CJ seems to be the only good network left.

 

Yes, as a publisher I get charge backs often.

 

Wait, the whole thing with publisher-merchant is confusing.

I have a website that sells a product. I want affiliates to promote it. Who am I?

 

you are a merchant

merchants use publishers to promote their products.

Thats how i thought it was anyhow!

 

Yes.. its worth that.. but do that only if u can afford that.. and also if u have a good program then u will get tons of traffic... as well as profits......

 

what products are you planning to promote ?

 

by the way excellent site there. Remember to carve a niche and hope to get good people on board.

If you are looking for a good affiliate network other than CJ, PM me i will send u one good network.
