Beer With Kyle: A Challenge, Starter/Training Rethink, and AI Content Advancements.

Hey Everyone,

I’ve got a few exciting things to discuss today, including updates to the starter experience, new training flow designs, and some behind-the-scenes developments on the AI content side.

This week’s beer is a lager from Big Bear Brewery in Kelowna, BC—a budget-friendly find that’s perfect for a laid-back day. It’s pretty good, a standard drinkable lager, and definitely a good choice on a sunny day.

Now that we’ve got the beer in hand, let’s jump into the updates!

Key Takeaways:

1. Weekly Challenge:

This week, we’re running a fun challenge within the Wealthy Affiliate community, and we’re giving out 5,000 credits (worth $25) to three different winners. All you have to do is share your niche ideas using the niche tool on the Wealthy Affiliate homepage. With over 231 comments so far, the competition is heating up, but there’s still time to join in! V

ote on your three favorite ideas, and I’ll be announcing the winners tomorrow afternoon. Don’t miss out—it’s a great way to get involved and share some creative (or even funny!) niche ideas.

2. Updates to the Starter Dashboard:

When new members join, they’re immediately introduced to the hub and all it offers—core training, a website, done-for-you research, content structure, writing tasks, and niche ideas. While this is an amazing set of tools, we know it can feel overwhelming for newcomers. That’s why we’re rethinking the layout to provide better clarity and streamline the process.

3. New Design Approach:

We’re considering moving away from the left-to-right training flow and leaning toward a top-down design that clearly presents the four phases of training. The goal is to make it immediately obvious where to start and how to progress through the core training, so there’s no confusion. We want the training to be more prominent, and we’re thinking of situating it closer to the top of your hub so that it’s the first thing you engage with upon logging in.

4. Enhanced AI Content Creation Tools:

On the AI content front, we’re working on improving how our article designer handles different content structures. Right now, it’s great for standard blog posts, but we’re adding more versatility. Soon, you’ll be able to create content in various formats—like listicles or reviews—offering greater flexibility and precision.

5. Image Integration

We’re also refining how images are integrated into your content. Instead of just “adding an image,” we’re focusing on making the images relevant and valuable to your article. You’ll have options to choose the style and placement of images to ensure they enhance the content.

Your Feedback:

As always, your feedback is incredibly important to us. Here are a few questions I’d love your thoughts on:

• What do you think of the new starter experience and dashboard design updates?
• What are your thoughts on the new training designs?
• How do you feel about the changes we’re making to the AI content creation tools?
