How to join CJ Affiliate

To join CJ affiliate you need to create an account first. There are 2 types of accounts: advertiser and publisher. Advertiser account is for merchants and companies who are selling the products and services. Publisher account is for those, who promote these products and services and get commission from each sale. Here I will show you how to create a publisher account.

On the top right corner, you can find the Sign Up button. Just click on it and in the opened window choose Sign Up as a publisher.

After that you will be redirected to the registration page. You need to fill in the application form.

Then you will need to confirm the email and accept all CJ Affiliate Publisher Agreements and regulations. And only then you can continue to your account.

But that is not all. It is just a small step on the way to join CJ Affiliate program. It is just 1 of 7 steps to activate your account.

But don’t worry, it is not so difficult, and it won’t take much time. But you need to have a valid promotional property. I think it is one of the most important parts.

Also, another important thing is providing correct payment details. If you live outside of the US, you will need to open a Payoneer account. And then add bank details from your Payoneer account to your CJ Affiliate account.

Now is the most exciting part – selecting the advertisers. Each advertiser has its own requirements and rules, so you need to get approval from advertiser to promote his products. Therefore, you need to apply for being advertiser’s promoter.

Some of the advertisers approve publishers manually, when others do it automatically. They just set up the requirements and if publisher matches to these requirements, he/she will be automatically accepted to the ‘team’.

If you were rejected by advertiser, don’t worry. Check the requirements carefully, try to improve your promotion platform (site, blog etc), and then you can reapply for the program.

Each advertiser provides a variety of promotional tools, so you can use any of them. But choose those promotional tools, which will be more effective. Because your passive income depends on the effectiveness of your promotion strategy.

The amount of commissions you get varies from advertiser to advertiser. Each advertiser has its own commission conditions and offers. Some advertisers pay a % from sales, some advertisers pay for clicks, some advertisers pay for sign-ups etc. So, just read the conditions when you apply for the advertising program.

How to Cash Out earnings

CJ Affiliate pays once a month. But the minimum is $25.00. And you can set up automated withdrawal in your payment details, and you will get a passive income with CJ Affiliates. Also, you can choose how much you want to withdraw every month.

Conclusion

You can start to get a passive income with CJ Affiliate as soon as you get a platform, where you will promote products and services of CJ Affiliates advertisers. And your income depends on your traffic, marketing strategy, and product popularity. But, even if your audience is small now, you should try and start to make money by advertising.
