Using Squidoo to promote products on CJ? Need advice

    Hello guys!

    I am new in CJ and started a Squidoo Lens for myself:

    http://www.squidoo.com/educational-toys-may-enhance-your-childrens-imagination

    I added this URL above to my website list in my CJ account, and I only copy the link within the HTML code, not the whole thing and paste it to my keywords.

    Will I generate clicks on this product through my Squidoo lens? Please help me, I want to earn for the first time in CJ. I just need some advice for those who already earned big in CJ.

    Thank you.

    Don't just limit yourself to CJ, they don't convert as well as many people claim that they do. I've known a lot of people who have been with that company for year and have given them tens of thousands of impressions only for a few measly dollars.

    You will want to look further into your SquidooLens creation because they should offer all the widgets which you can use without having to do things the hard way.

    Overall, you don't want clicks to products, you want conversions - two different things and two completely different ways of getting those end sales

    I already have Clickbank, CPALead, AdSquareNetwork and Peerfly and now CJ. I do generate clicks but zero conversions and leads. Does it mean that I applied for a wrong affiliate program?

    That's a good sign. Thanks! I noticed that I did generate clicks on my lens but no conversions yet. I'll try to improve my content on Squidoo. But are you sure that the links you see attached in my lens will be credited to me when they continue browsing products and purchased one or more?

    Thanks again. I'll try my best if I have time to add more interesting content to my toy lens. If it works, I think it will do the same thing with my Clickbank hoplinks and CPA offers. I haven't earned a single dime on affiliates and CPA because I lack knowledge, now my mind is growing on getting know how to earn with affiliate programs.
