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Disclaimer: I recorded this video in 2008 so some of the screenshots are a bit outdated.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!

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”)

I am really looking forward to seeing these videos. I joined CJ but haven’t started promoting them yet. It will be good to see what tips and tricks you have to share about it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the video Captain. Ive been using Squidoo for some time now but have never combined it with Commission Juntion, I’ve mainly stuck to promoting clickbank product more than anything – guess I’ll have to give CJ a go…
