Hey there! Im pretty new at this as well but here's what works for me in my climate, just the basics;
Take the fresh cutting, wet cut end and dip in rooting hormone. Wet soil or medium before planting so as not remove hormone. Plant cuttings and place in an inverted zip lock freezer back in a shady spot outside for 2 weeks, misting if it starts to look dry. After 2 weeks heavy mist and replace for one more week in a bit more sun. Seems to be working for me so far. Keep shaded until well rooted. Good luck!

These work pretty well too, and they're cheap on Amazon

Do you mind me asking what kind of climate you live in? I live in the US in the New England states so we get all seasons and right now its summer. Has been pretty hot and humid.

Juniper roots pretty easily given the cuttings are taken at right time of year. Mine root by fall when taken in spring. its a bit late now so you might need to wait til next spring to see results.
I take 1yr old growth cuttings, make an angle cut, and remove any foliage that will be below the soil level. I pot a bunch up in nursery pots in spare bonsai soil. I water, cover with an opaque plastic cover (mixing pails from home depot) and place in a shaded location under my bench. i forget them for weeks at a time other than occasional watering. I occasionally checking for definitively dead cuttings and remove.
Ill usually leave til following year, removing the cover at night after 2 months to introduce some less humid cpnditions and let them get used to normal conditions, recovering in morning. works pretty well.
