One of the easiest ways to make cash online is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is selling a company's product through your website, blog, or email service. In essence, you get paid when your traffic buys their product. In this article, I will give you a first-hand review and advantages of one of the largest affiliate marketing companies - Commission Junction.
Hundreds Of Affiliate Programs In One Place
One of the best aspects of Commission Junction is that it has hundreds of affiliate programs to choose from. Also, more affiliate programs are added each and every week. The affiliate programs are divided by category (i.e. beauty, family, online services) so it is very simple to find affiliates that relate to your website.
Live Tracking And Reports
Commission Junction has live tracking and reports that are updated often. You can add a little bit of code that tracks which page on your website your ad clicks come from. If visitors to your website have to login, you can even track which visitor clicks which ad. This is great for determining which ads get the best click-thru rate and sales. Also, the commission reports are updated real-time so at any point, you can see how much money you have made and where that money came from.
Automatic Payouts
One thing I like about Commission Junction is that you don't have to request your payment to be paid. Now there are monthly minimums (around $50 - $100) that must be met before you can get paid, but once that limit is reached and your commissions have been approved, they will send your payment. In fact, the first time I received a check from Commission Junction, I was on vacation. I came back home, checked the mail, and there was my first check!
While Commission Junction is a very good affiliate marketing program, there are also some disadvantages to using Commission Junction. Look for my next article describing some of the disadvantages of using Commission Junction.
