If you have no idea what Commission Junction (CJ) is or you’re not currently a member of CJ but you want to become a FreedomVOICE affiliate, then this post is for you. I’m going to go step-by-step to help guide you through signing up for Commission Junction as well as applying for FreedomVOICE’s affiliate program.

Step 1 – To get started, click this link to open the FreedomVOICE affiliate application.

Step 2 – The Publisher (that’s you) application is a two-step process. First page is relatively short. It highlights some of the benefits of the FreedomVOICE affiliate program. You choose your Language, Country and Preferred Currency.

Step 3 – The next page of the application is a little tricky. You need to agree to the service terms of CJ to proceed. To do this, make sure you scroll to the bottom of the service terms and click the “Accept” button.

Step 4 – After you submit your application, Commission Junction will send you an automated email with your CJ account number, user name and password.

Step 5 – Since Commission Junction automatically assigns you a password, I always suggest logging into your account and changing the password right away. You can login here and use your email address and the password that was sent in your CJ email.

Step 6 – Once you log in, click “Account”, then “Administrative Settings”.

Step 7 – Go to the bottom of the page under “User Settings”. To the right of your name is column named “Actions”. You’ll see a link “Edit”. Click that. It will launch a pop-up window where you’ll need to enter your password. Do that and click “OK”.

Step 8 – You can now edit your user settings. Click the “Create New” option next to “Password” and enter your new desired password. Click “Save” when finished. Your new password will now be in effect.

Step 9 – Now click “Get Links” at the top of the page. Then click “By Relationship”, then the “Pending Applications” tab. You should see FreedomVOICE listed under your pending applications. This means you’re applied to our program and are waiting approval.

That’s it! You’re now are a member of Commission Junction and applied to the FreedomVOICE affiliate program.

I typically review new publisher applications every day. Once I approve your application, you’ll receive an email from CJ letting you know your application has been approved and that your now joined and active in our program. If you want to speed up the approval process, you can simply and I’ll do my best to get to your application as quickly as possible.
