ShareASale and Commission Junction Links
Hello and Warm Greetings to all WA family,
I signed up with both ShareASale and Commission Junction (CJ). I spent two days exploring what they have. I was happy to find advertisers that have products and goods that I promote on my website. Upon testing the waters of both affiliate group, I realized I am not able to get a direct links to specific products they both give you a link to a whole page of products and it is up to the prospective buyer to scan those products and look for what is recommended on my articles. So that's the downside I found while exploring both ShareASale and CJ.
Does anyone use ShareASale and CJ? If so, is there a way to get a direct link to a product? Like Amazon? Can you share how you get your links from the merchants of these two affiliates? I will be very grateful for your help and learn from you.
Thanks very much. I will appreciate your feedback.
Cheers,
Evelyn

Hiya, I suggest the easiest way to learn to share a sale is watching their learning videos on youtube.

I use more Commission factory rather than CJ, so I am not sure how it is done at their platform. Sorry. I hope somebody else can help with that
Have a great day.

Hi SophieKim (Evelyn), I used to have an account with CJ, and earned $1000's with my affiliate promotions with their network. It was more than 5 years ago, but at that time CJ had direct links to specific products for affiliates to send customers directly to it. Sadly, I moved on to building my affiliate business focusing on residual income and only promote now products that offers recurring commission, which was and still is a better cash flow when it comes to think and grow rich, but I didn't regret that move because it's where the money is. That's my focus at this moment. Sorry for getting sidetracked to answer your question. I had long not used CJ anymore, but it's a good network for affiliates to earn with their affiliate marketing. CJ is legit. They pay out on time and never missed an affiliate payment. Back to your question, sorry I don't know if they change their platform and now no longer offer direct linking to products. But maybe, I'll go back to it and sign up for a new account with CJ, explore around, and I'll update you on if they still offer that direct linking you're seeking. I think it's available, you just have to find it. Sorry it's not much of help, but I'll look into it for ya :)
***By the way, Paula's answer below is accurate. You do have to apply to individual advertisers, and once approved, then you will have access to "Direct Links" to their products.
Thank you so much for your feedback. With CJ, I was right away approved by one merchant. But the product I needed did not have link to it. So I had to email the merchant and requested a link to the product within CJ. I haven't gone back to that merchant but will do this evening.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hey Evelyn, I'm actually the ShareASale representative here at Wealthy Affiliate. It sounds like you're asking whether you can create a deeplink to a specific product on a merchant's site.
The answer is yes, you can do that through the ShareASale interface. Just add the ShareASale Product Discovery to your toolbar and it will instantly create a deeplink for you (provided that you've been approved into that merchant's program of course).
I'm glad to answer any questions you may have about ShareASale.
Thank you so much Jeannine. Now I know who to go to. It is Thanksgiving Eve and I had some shopping to do and cooking. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to where I left off last night adding links and re-do some tomorrow after the thanksgiving meal.
Happy Thanksgiving and cheers!
