Hi everyone! Help!!

I have followed the lessons for Certification and currently I am in Course 3, Lesson 4. I was instructed to sign up with at least two independent affiliate programs and at least 1 affiliate network (signed up with 3 in fact: ShareASale, Comission Junction and AvantLink). I proceeded with the independent programs but they (through AvantLink) rejected my application, saying criteria is dependent on how much traffic I am generating and how long my website's been in the internet. Both are minimal since I just started my website last june. Also, one of the advertisers in CJ (West Marine) also rejected my request for affiliate links and material (no explanation). Could you please offer some advice as to what to do next?
