Greetings CDM Fantasy Sports Affiliate, It's hard to believe just how quickly the year seems to be going. Once again, in this 3rd Quarter newsletter, we will update you on the latest games to promote in order to maximize your earnings potential. While football is just getting started, from an advertising perspective football banners will no longer generate revenue. It's time to update the banners that you have been displaying with ones promoting games that can be entered now. Please review the list below for the best fantasy games to promote at this time. IMPORTANT NOTE: We still get contacted by those affiliates that haven't saved the new url link to the Affiliates main webpage. Please make sure to keep this newsletter so that you can reference the correct url for access to the Affiliates website. The correct URL is: http://affiliates.cdmsports.com QUARTERLY TIP Many people have found that just by joining a multitude of affiliate programs does not insure success and great financial rewards. It's just not as easy to get rich as some were led to believe. What is it that separates the successful from the not so successful? It's actually pretty simple. You can determine it yourself by asking one simple question: Am I an Active Affiliate or a Passive Affiliate? How you answer that question will ultimately determine your success rate. Some may ask what I mean by active vs. passive. A Passive Affiliate places a banner or link on their site and then hopes to make money. An Active Affiliate takes time to promote or highlight the affiliation. What can you do to become an Active Affiliate and maximize your earnings potential? Here are just a few ideas that I have picked up from some of our more dynamic and successful partners. As discussed in our last edition, place your banners in easy to see and easy to find locations. Also, place banners and links on multiple pages of your site. If you have a newsletter of your own or a mailing list, add information about your affiliation. Several affiliates have a webpage that includes their recommendation of our fantasy games along with a hypertext link. The bottom line is, don't just think by placing a banner you've done all you can do. Be proactive and let your customers know that you want them to check out your affiliations. GAMES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE At the bottom of this newsletter, there is a summary of the four featured games that we recommend promoting now. One of the featured games is a fantasy playoff baseball game, two are fantasy hockey games, and one is a fantasy basketball game. The entry deadlines for playoff baseball (Diamond Challenge Playoff sponsored by USA TODAY/Sports Weekly) and hockey (CDM Fantasy Hockey and The Hockey News Supreme Pool) are fast approaching so if you want to promote these games, you must act now! By clicking on each game’s logo in the summary table, you can easily go to its website to access the complete rules, pricing, and prizes. As a reminder, to promote a game and receive credit for the entries you generate, you must first put the banners and artwork on your website and link them to our games with your affiliate code. To do this, visit the CDM Affiliates website and use the Graphics and Artwork and Linking Instructions pages. Please feel free to contact us if you are having any problems with this. We here at CDM Fantasy Sports hope you have found this newsletter helpful. We look forward to a long and satisfying relationship with you. Should you have any questions or should there be any information which you would like covered in future newsletters, please contact Stephen M. Parker at sparker@cdmsports.com.
