It is very easy as long as you have a website that looks decent enough with content

Here's their sign up form

Applying to CJ.com is easy, applying to some of their advertisers is not that easy as some are very particular with the types of sites they accept

It is very easy to sign up for affiliate programs as long as you have a website that doesn't go against their policies (for example, some affiliate programs don't allow gambling sites, porn, etc.).

However, if you are new to affiliate marketing, it can be difficult to make money. First, you need a site that gets TRAFFIC. If you aren't getting visitors to your site, no one is going to buy.

I have provided a link below to a FREE, 165 page e-book called "Affiliate Masters Course". It is far better than most of the affiliate e-books out there and as I mentioned, it is free. You don't have to give them your email address or anything.

Also, I'd recommend checking out Site Build It (which is where the free e-book is from). They will help you build a site that gets traffic. check out the case studies there too.

And be sure you are familiar with what ever affiliate products you decide to sell. Either read the books or use the products. Otherwise, if you end up promoting bad items, your customers will never come back and they won't trust you.

Build up your web and sign up with them. During the sign up process you would be required to dole out some information which you would be able to. Once you sign up and the link is approved and created you will find the advertisements on your web page (routed through CJ). And then wait for users to purchase products and services through the help of your advertisements and then you earn.

Its not a big deal to sign up there, but you need to login there regularly, otherwise they will suspend your account.

They are the adsense equivalent of affliate marketing..they do pay you well..but then again they have a strict barrage of rules but if you can stick to all that..rest assured you can expect a good time with them..
