Follow these steps to join an affiliate partner in CJ –

1. Open Cj Dashboard
2. Click on the Advertiser tab
3. Search for any advertiser using the advertiser name, keywords, serviceable area, language, currency, Geographic source and category

As I have searched ‘domain’ and I got this result. In the same way you can find advertisers for your nioche and service type.

4. Once you found a suitable advertiser for your business, then you can click on the “Join Program” button. Some advertisers don’t consider anything and they will give you approval in minutes. But sometimes you have to accept the terms and conditions of your partner advertiser.

As you can see I have already joined the ‘Interserver affiliate’ program and so, ‘join program’ button is not available.

After that, they will look into your application. If they found it satisfactory. Your request to join their affiliate will be approved.

Note: In some cases, it might take longer than usual. So, make sure to apply for the relevant affiliate partner according to your business. develop your website completely. Don’t apply with an under construction website.

How to make money through Cj Affiliate?

Once you affiliate request is approved. You can now get links for different product and items provided by that advertiser. Mostly they provide link ads and banner ads. All sized ads will be available in most of the cases. You can choose which you want to promote?

Once you have decided the affiliate product then generate a link for that product and promote them via prescribed medium and try to get some sales. on every successful sale, you will get the decided commissions.

You can track your affiliate sales under Reports->Transactions.

Note: I have said the prescribed medium for promotion. You can’t promote anything by any means just to boost up your sale. Go through the privacy and terms once before promoting. In most cases, Email, Ads, Search and Social Traffics are allowed.

The commissions generated will be reflected in your account. Once you reach a threshold of 50$ which is minimum. You can get that payment in your submitted payment medium. Cj Affiliate generally transfers commission on 20th of each month.

My Cj Affiliate Journey

I have started using CJ Affiliate in the month of Feb 2018. The first affiliate which I have joined was NameCheap. Later I joined GoDaddy, Interserver, Ipage and many more.

The first payment of 675$ which I got, was a mixture of payment from Godaddy and Namecheap. I have earned more than 1000$ but some of the sales was corrected and finally the payment approved for payment was 675$.

It was in the month of June. So, you can assume that as payment of 5 months. Due to wrong payment information the money was rescheduled for repayment three times

After that I am earning 250$ per month from CJ Affiliate on an average. I have not joined most of the affiliate partners and still, my main source of affiliate income is GoDaddy and NameCheap.

Okey Ravi’s view on Cj Affiliate

So, you must join CJ affiliate by conversant, if you really want to reach with most of the good advertisers of your niche. The only thing you need to follow is Cj affiliate privacy and terms and your advertiser privacy and terms.

If you do this. You will go very long.
