Lewis Lee Hardin son of the late Estil Lee Hardin and Idoma Goode Hardin was born December 20, 1933 in Adair County, Kentucky. He passed away peacefully Monday, April 22, 2019 at 9:15 P.M., after listening to old gospel tunes, some prayer and a lot of family love. Age: 85
He was a believer in Christ.
He was a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts having served his country honorably in the United States Air Force.
He was a former employee of Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
Lewis struggled with Alzheimer’s for several years, and now he is at peace. Somehow, he handled the diagnosis and all the horrible effects with grace.
Some of his most favorite things were WILDCATS, family Rook games, big Hardin family reunions, camping on the riverbanks, FISHING, finding a good fishing hole, finding crazy worms to go fishing, talking about fishing, and frying fish for family and friends. He was kind of famous for his loud laughter, back-slapping hugs, love of dancing, and pitching children high into the air with them screaming, “do it again.” All his nieces and nephews (and there are a bunch, as Lewis was one of ten, including his twin sister!) still talk about the delight they felt when he was around. He loved playing with them almost as much as fishing.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Mings Hardin of Campbellsville; one son and two daughters: Greg Hardin and wife, Pam of Columbia, Beverly Knifley of Campbellsville and Sherry Duffy and husband, Bill of Shepherdsville; eight grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; one brother and five sisters: Carl Hardin and wife, Phyllis, Wanda Combest, Frances Hutchens, Ann Mills, Juanita Newman and Patsy Johnson and husband, Doug; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by one brother and two sisters: William Hardin, Celestine Siers and Beulah Watson.
Words cannot convey the family’s appreciation for Bluegrass Assisted Living in Campbellsville and the Radcliff Veterans Home. He was loved and well cared for by many.

The Benefits of Affiliate Marketing for Business
In this comprehensive exploration of affiliate marketing, readers will delve into its various models and operational mechanisms. We’ll uncover the manifold advantages it offers, such as its cost-effectiveness, heightened brand exposure, avenues for passive income, strategic partnerships, adaptable marketing approaches, and refined customer targeting. For those eyeing international expansion, tapping into affiliate marketing could be a game-changer. To explore opportunities to expand your business abroad, consider to visit Acclime Thailand for more information.
Understanding Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing technique in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for bringing customers or visitors through their marketing efforts. In simple terms, affiliate marketing can be described as a revenue-sharing partnership between an online seller and a website owner. The website owner, referred to as the affiliate, places various promotional tools such as links, banners, and advertisements on their website to promote the online seller’s products or services in exchange for commissions on each sale or lead generated.
The Basics of Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a unique approach that enables businesses to leverage the internet and a vast network of affiliates to reach a broad audience at a relatively low cost. The primary goal of affiliate marketing is to drive qualified traffic and leads to an online seller’s website with the hopes of reaching higher sales conversions and generating greater online revenue.
The basic premise of affiliate marketing revolves around three main entities: the advertiser, the affiliate, and the customer. The advertiser is the business offering its products or services for sale, while the affiliate is the online publisher or website owner promoting the advertiser’s offerings. Customers are the users who visit the affiliate’s website and engage with the promotional content, seeking to make a purchase or sign up for a service.
Each of these entities plays a vital role in the affiliate marketing ecosystem by contributing to the overall success of the revenue-sharing partnership.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
Affiliate marketing begins with the establishment of a partnership between an affiliate and an advertiser, usually through an affiliate network or platform. Once an affiliate has chosen a product or service to promote, they are provided a unique tracking link or banner on their website.
When visitors to the affiliate’s website click on the tracking link or banner, they are redirected to the advertiser’s website. Any purchases or leads generated by these referrals are then tracked by the network or platform, which attributes the sale or lead to the corresponding affiliate.
Upon successful completion of a transaction, the advertiser rewards the affiliate with a pre-defined commission based on the percentage of the total sale or the agreed lead payout. Payments are usually processed monthly or bi-weekly, depending on the affiliate network or platform’s payment policies. Get the most professional tips from the best affiliate marketing manager.
Different Types of Affiliate Marketing Models
Businesses and affiliates can choose from several types of affiliate marketing models, depending on their objectives and preferences. These models primarily differ based on the desired actions and rewards structure. Some common affiliate marketing models include:
- Pay-per-Sale (PPS): This is the most common type of affiliate marketing model, where affiliates are rewarded with a commission for every sale or transaction made through their referral link. The commission rate is typically calculated as a percentage of the total order value or a fixed amount per sale.
- Pay-per-Lead (PPL): In this model, affiliates are paid for every qualified lead generated, such as a newsletter subscription, registration, or inquiry form submission. The commission is usually a fixed amount per lead.
- Pay-per-Click (PPC): Under this model, affiliates are paid for each click made on their promotional links or banners, regardless of whether a sale or lead occurs. PPC models typically pay a certain amount per click or use a bidding system to determine the payout rate.
- Pay-per-Action (PPA): This model encompasses a wide range of actions, such as downloads, installations, or sign-ups, and pays affiliates for each completed action. The commission is typically a fixed amount per action.
Each affiliate marketing model has its advantages and drawbacks, with some being better suited to particular industries or marketing objectives. Businesses and affiliates should choose the model that best aligns with their goals and strategies to maximize the success of their partnership.
The Cost-Effectiveness of Affiliate Marketing
One of the main reasons why businesses lean towards affiliate marketing is its cost-effectiveness. It offers several advantages, making it an attractive option for new and established businesses. In this section, we will discuss the low startup costs, pay-for-performance model, and reduced marketing costs associated with affiliate marketing, which contribute to its cost-effectiveness.
Low Startup Costs
Affiliate marketing is often considered a low-cost way to kickstart a marketing strategy for new businesses or those looking to expand in new markets. A significant benefit of this marketing approach is that businesses do not have to invest in expensive infrastructure or technology to begin promoting their products or services.
Pay for Performance Model
One of the most significant advantages of affiliate marketing over traditional marketing methods is its pay-for-performance model. This means businesses only pay their affiliates a commission when a sale, lead, or other pre-determined action occurs. This payment model significantly reduces the marketing budget since businesses do not pay for ad views or clicks that do not result in the desired outcome.
The pay-for-performance model offers reduced risk for businesses. It guarantees that they only compensate resources driving actual results, whereas in other marketing strategies like pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, businesses often bear costs for ads that might not bring any direct conversions.
Furthermore, businesses can allocate resources based on the performance of individual affiliates, ensuring that they invest in partners that drive the most results. This approach is helpful in maintaining cost-effectiveness since businesses can allocate their marketing budget to the channels that bring more traffic, conversions, and sales.
Reduced Marketing Costs
Affiliate marketing reduces the need for extensive traditional marketing campaigns, leading to lower ongoing costs. Since affiliates are responsible for promoting a business’s products or services, the business does not need to spend as much on advertising materials or resources to reach their target audience. By working with affiliates, the company essentially secures a diverse advertising network, reducing the need for additional marketing investment. If you start struggling with your business finances, you may seek assistance from experts in cash flow management. Seek quality insolvency services ltd if you need help with the liquidation of your assets to pay off business debts.
Affiliate marketing also helps businesses reach new audiences without allocating additional funds for market research. Since affiliates typically promote products to their niche audiences, they already have an established connection with the target market. This ensures better audience targeting and can lead to higher conversion rates, ultimately resulting in lower marketing costs.
Increased Brand Visibility and Exposure
One of the primary objectives of any business is to gain exposure and increase brand visibility. The more people are aware of your brand, the more potential customers you can reach. One way to achieve this is through affiliate marketing, which can help your brand reach wider audiences, leverage affiliate networks and communities, and enhance search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. An online reputation management service may also help maintain a good brand reputation for your business.
Reaching Wider Audiences
Affiliate marketing allows brands to extend their reach exponentially. Rather than attempting to reach a large audience on your own, affiliate marketers help share your content, products, or services with their own unique followers, often with an incentive in the form of a commission.
This marketing method is advantageous for both small and large businesses alike, as it provides access to broader demographics while utilizing your affiliates’ unique skills, resources, and audiences. The result is increased brand exposure and the potential for more sales. Aside from this, businesses may also benefit a ton when they consult with experts from companies like the best llc service in ohio.
