CJ Hard To Become An Advertiser

CJ sales staff is slow and very poor in customer service

Hi Everyone,
I recently tried to contact CJ to open an advertising account with them. First off the sales staff simply never picks up the phone. Second for all the money they charge, they actually denied my application stating some general crap like they look for certain types of sites.

If you follow my email you can take a look at my site. I sell herbal products and they do fine. Conversions are good too.

My question is do you guys have any advice for me on how I can get them to open me an advertiser account. What do they really want. Maybe I need to work backwards here.

Also, does a site need to be online for a certain number of years before they consider it for their program?

Why do you have to go with CJ? There are other good networks too.

Yeah, that's what I'm planning to do. But you have to admit for the leverage you get with their humongous affiliate base they're unmatchable.

Try to get more specific answers. Also check out Linkshare & Performics. It may be CJ already has someone selling a similar product. It may also be they do not have any publishers available for your vertical.

CJ is very busy and very selective. They also won't take on merchants if they think they already have enough in that space. I would really take a look at ShareaSale if I were you. Most of the good CJ affiliates are there, they offer consolidated payments like CJ does, they are more affordable and their links don't get blocked by Norton like all the big networks do.

Never heard of shareasale but they seem to have a god deal going. Do you know how many publishers they have already? Would like to know what kind of bang for my buck I'm getting.
