    CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)
    CJ would be a great place for any publisher looking to monetize their blog or social media accounts. Products that have broad targeting or rely on bargain hunters would perform really well as there are tons of coupon sites and fashion blogs. Niche products would have a harder time growing as they would probably still need to do a lot of outreach.

    Alternatives Considered
    CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)
    CJ definitely has the largest pool of publishers and is well built out in terms of features. However, it does appear that they have a lot of dead weight in their pool which is something that their competitors claim they have solved. We ultimately selected CJ because we had previous experience with the platform and wanted to tap into their affiliate pool.

    Compared to Amazon Associates, I found Travelpayouts far easier to use and apply when I started working with affiliate partner programs. It was quick to join multiple travel programs and add affiliate tools such as links, widgets, and banners to the content I was writing in my travel blog, which is why Travelpayouts has become my preferred digital partnership platform.
