It's as wicked easy as you want it to be. Smiler
One thing that's very nice about the affiliate program here is that you can basically link to ANY page on CP* as an affiliate. (* except for shops that are opted-out of the affiliate program)
So, you can pick a portal, the marketplace main page, a search term, an entire store, a store's section, a product page, a design page, you get the idea.
Just have your CJ link structure ready to go as explained in the affiliate instructions and paste the page url after the "URL=" part of your code.
But that just gives you the link. And it gives me an idea to work on... That's another good part about the CP affiliate program, there are lots of free and low-cost tools developed by other affiliates and shopkeepers to help you succeed.
Oh, and the question of money. We're making as much as we can. More than some, less than others. Smiler You know how that goes. It depends on what you can do to sell. We all get 15% of the entire sale.
