So I got the rundown at the brew store how to get myself started. Didn't blend my own apples, just bought cider, 2 gal, 1 pound white and brown sugar. Brought to room temp, put in carboy added champagne yeast, yeast nutrient, and yeast energizer and put a vapor lock in the carboy. Doesn't look like much is going on in there, and this was a month or so ago. I'm going today to get a hydrometer, didn't know I needed one lol. Any suggestions?

Did your starting cider have an preservatives that may have killed the yeast?

The only reasons I'd think that it didn't work is if you either used juice that has preservatives in it, or it is stored at too low of a temperature to ferment. Read the ingredients list on the label and post them on here.
