Wow, marvelous blog format! How long have you ever been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The full glance of your site is great, let alone the content material!

Hi Matt. Thanks for stopping by and your comment -;)Indeed, I found the missing training as one of the biggest issues as well. At least, they do provide guide on how to use CJ, but then again, it might be less useful, if yo want to apply it from scratch or on other platforms. Therefore, it might be difficult for beginners to use CJ to its fullest. On the other hand Wealthy Affiliate offers step-by-step training for beginners. It is the best affiliate training I know, so it’s definitely worth of checking it out. Cheers

Hi John. Happy you shared your experience with CJ. You belong to the luckier group which are happy with them 😉 They have a lot trustable vendors/advertisers, so I am sure, there is plenty of the “good ones” to chose from. Cheers

Hi Chas. Thanks for sharing your experience about Commission Junction. Nowadays, I believe they send notification email. But, either way, it might be pretty annoying, to find out that your account was canceled. The worst, if with some commissions on it. Sharesale is one of the better platforms. WA is far best in my eyes too. Cheers.

Commission Junction sounds like a good affiliate network, where we can find lots of affiliate products to promote on our websites. The biggest letdown is that they don’t provide any training, so people need to purchase an online training course or watch free YouTube videos.

I prefer to start at an all-in-one platform to learn affiliate marketing from scratch. Your number one recommendation gets a high score on Trustpilot, which gives people more confidence to try it. I will also look at it ASAP.

Cheers,
Matt

Hey there, Maylynn (DragonBlue). Thanks for sharing your own experience with our readers. I can understand that method of payment can be very sensitive for some folks. Their lack of flexibility played now against them. As you, and i can imagine that more people, walked away because of that. Not sure, if you know WA, but they use PayPal as platform, where you will get your commissions. I am sure, there are other platforms offering PayPal (or other suitable ones) as payment options. Cheers

Hi Lisa. Thanks for stopping by and your comment ? The customer service is really something that should improve within CJ. The complaints are relevant and as I see it, it really depends on the advertiser, you will be working with. Unless, CJ is the subject that is keeping higher commission as they should, then it might be wiser to join the merchant affiliate program directly and skip CJ completely. Issues could be then, that some of the merchants are not available via other (even their own) platform. However, I think just trying is the only solution to find out. Risk is lower, as it is free to join.
My number one recommendation is Wealthy Affiliate as mentioned. Except the fact, there is comprehensive, regularly updated and actionable training, there are other reasons to join the platform. If I’d be choosing my affiliate hub once again, I would consider the 24/7 live community of more than 1.5 million people, exceptional customer service, tools included such as keyword tool, 2 websites, web hosting, etc. I wrote in-depth review about Wealthy Affiliate, if you’re interested . Let me know if you have more questions. Cheers

Hey Tom. yes, please! I will be more than curious to receive your feedback about Commission Junction. I think it depends on the advertiser, you will be working, if you will be satisfied and happy. But I am super keen on to hear from you. Cheers!
