Commission Junction
Commission Junction is an affiliate program for advertisers and publishers. To participate, you (the publisher) post the advertisers' links on your website or blog. Every time someone clicks on the link and buys something, you get a percentage of the sale. If someone clicks on the link and fills out a form, you get a commission for attracting a sales lead. If they come back to the site later and purchase something or fill out the form, you can still get a commission because the cookie stays on the computer.
Instructions
1. If you do not have a website or blog, it's not hard to get one. If you want to create a website, you can purchase a domain and a web host for your site. GoDaddy and Hostgator are a couple that have reasonable prices. The first step is to get a blog or website up and running, if you do not have one already.
2. Go to the Commission Junction website and sign up.
3. Once you are signed up, browse through the different advertisers. Commission Junction has over 1,000 from which to choose. Browse by categories that complement the audience of your website. Click on a category to look at the advertiser list. To find out more details about a particular program, click on the advertiser that interests you.
4. Look for advertisers that sell a product or service that is associated with your blog or website, so you have a better chance to earn some money. When you find an advertiser that interests you, click on the "join program" button. Agree to the terms and conditions after reading them carefully. Some programs approve you automatically, and some approve you manually, which takes time. When you are approved for a program, it is added to your link relationship list, which is a list of all the advertisers that approved you to post their links on your website or blog.
5. To get the link for the advertiser that approved you, click on the "Get links" tab from the home page of Commission Junction. If you choose to post a link from an advertiser that is not active or has not approved you yet, you do not collect a commission on the sales or leads.
6. Choose a link or banner. When you click on "View links," a list pops up for all the links that you can post on your site or blog. When you find a link you like, click on it, and from there you can copy HTML or JAVA for that link and paste it to your website or blog.
7. Click "Publish," and the link appears. That's it; you're done. Now your site is monetized by Commission Junction.
