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

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.
