How to use Commission Junction and Squidoo to make money
A while ago I created a set of training videos a while ago detailing step by step how to use Commission Junction and I’ve decided to release them to you guys gratis.
In a nutshell, they tell you how to build a kick butt affiliate lens using a third party affiliate program like Commission Junction. It’s close to 2 hours long all together and covers everything from how to apply to programs (and get into ones most people can’t) all the way to tracking sales down to the lens.
This is pretty much the blueprint I used to go from $10 or so a month on Squidoo to breaking $1,000 a month.
I Reached that level a while ago and have started using some other strategies since then in addition to these but I think you guys and gals will really find this series helpful.
Disclaimer: I recorded this video in 2008 so some of the screenshots are a bit outdated. The concepts are still perfectly valid though.
I’ll release the entire series over the next few days, here’s the first one, let me know what you guys think!

Thank you for this! There really is an art and science to using commission junction, in conjunction with Squidoo…..Iv’e been fortunate enough to do around $25-$75 daily through my facebook experience lens alone…

congratulations on your click-thru-rate, btw….mine is a little lower….i’ll stay-tuned for your next installments ![]()
Interesting set of videos. I have a question - do they have restrictions on what type of website you put ads on? I heard that some CJ advertisers were reluctant to allow you to put ads on blogspot blogs for instance.
P.S. You might wish to black out your name in the first video (it shows right at the top of the screen after the word “welcome”)
[...] Captain Squid is giving away some video instructions on how to add Commission Junction links to your Squidoo lenses. I watched one of the videos, and even though I already have a CJ account I learned a few things. If you are looking to make affiliate lenses, you should definitely check them out. [...]
