Commission Junction

Commission Junction, now known as CJ Affiliate, is a marketing platform that connects businesses with affiliate marketers. Companies use CJ to promote their products through affiliate marketers who earn commissions for driving sales or leads. Essentially, if someone clicks on a link provided by an affiliate and makes a purchase, the affiliate earns a percentage of that sale. This arrangement benefits both parties: businesses gain exposure and sales, while affiliates can earn money by promoting products they believe in, often through their websites or social media channels. It's a performance-based marketing strategy that leverages networks of individuals and companies.
