Hey Everyone!

Happy Friday and happy Fourth of July to all of our American friends!

I’m actually down in the U.S. right now on vacation, probably why my surroundings look a bit different today. I’m outside, wearing sunglasses, and just stepped off the beach to do this Beer with Kyle. ;)

Before we get into things, let’s talk beer.

This week I’m having Kirkland Helles-style lager. This is Costco’s house brand beer, which is kind of a novelty for us Canadians because our Costcos don’t sell alcohol like they do down here. This beer is actually brewed in partnership with Deschutes — one of the better breweries out there. It’s a light beer at around 4.5% ABV, and I’ve had a few on this trip. I can tell you, it’s pretty nice for a lighter beer. If you’re at a Costco in the U.S., I’d recommend giving it a try.

Alright, let’s get right into it.


New Entrance Points for Wealthy Affiliate.

We’ve been thinking a lot about how we can help you amplify your referrals and conversions as an affiliate. That means giving you easy-to-use entrance points that:

  • Are seamless for users
  • Are functional tools people will actually want to try
  • And are free to use

1. NameGenuity — AI-Powered Domain Search.

You might have seen me introduce this last week. NameGenuity is our own AI-powered domain search tool. We weren’t happy with the options out there, so we built one ourselves.

It’s fast, accurate, and integrated with Wealthy Affiliate. You can:

  • Choose different styles (clear, creative/brandable, punchy, mixed)
  • Filter for .com or other TLDs
  • Get domain suggestions instantly

For example, I searched for “youth basketball coaching” and got names like:

If you like one, you can click to register it through Wealthy Affiliate... or join WA to get the benefits.

Coming soon:

We’re adding the ability for you to promote NameGenuity externally with your affiliate link.
That way, if someone uses it, finds a domain, and joins WA or buys a domain, you get full credit. We’ll also be adding tracking so you can see where your referrals are coming from.


2. MillionSpark — Niche Research & Idea Starter (Coming Soon)...

We’re working on MillionSpark, a niche idea and research tool.
The goal is to help people take an idea and turn it into the foundation of a business.

It’ll be:

  • Free to use
  • Another entrance point you can promote
  • Connected to your WA affiliate link

People will search, get niche research, and be encouraged to join WA to build their business.


We Want Your Ideas!

This is where I’d really appreciate your input.

What other entrance points or tools would help you as an affiliate?

  • What would be useful for getting people to try Wealthy Affiliate?
  • What tools would people want to use, that could naturally lead them to join?

We’re in a rapid development phase at WA, and we want to build tools that help you generate more referrals — not just send people to the homepage, but give them something valuable to try.


NameGenuity’s affiliate integration should be ready by midweek next week, and I’ll make a formal announcement. MillionSpark will follow shortly after.

In the meantime, I hope you have a great and safe Fourth of July weekend if you’re celebrating... and a great weekend in general.

Drop your feedback and ideas in the comments below. I’ll be reading every one and will get back to your ideas/feedback right away!

Thanks for all the feedback thus far, to summarize here are some of the ideas that have been shared thus far as to potential entrance points and tools that could be built so that everyone and anyone could efficiently and effectively promote WA!

Keep adding your ideas below in the comments, and I will add them to this "master" list. ;)

1. External AI blog writer – offer the WA AI blog tool as a standalone service for LinkedIn, Medium, Quora or Substack.
2. Post-niche action plan – after someone finds a niche, show blog topic ideas, domain picks and next steps in WA.
3. Fun niche-finder quiz – an interactive quiz that matches people to niches based on interests and is easy to share.
4. Affiliate link integration – have NameGenuity, MillionSpark and new tools automatically use each affiliate’s link with tracking.
5. Keyword research extension – a free Chrome add-on for basic keyword metrics, with premium upsells (think Jaaxy features).
6. Built-in email autoresponder – a native WA email tool for setting up follow-up sequences without third-party services.
7. Drag-and-drop homepage builder – a “Visual Site Starter” that lets prospects mock up a homepage, then join WA to make it live.
8. All-in-one funnel system – a builder like Systeme.io for funnels, landing pages and email pipelines inside WA.
9. Custom banner creator – a tool to design branded banners (and fix the existing affiliate banner section).
10. Dashboard tweaks – move Site Feedback and Niche Finder into the main menu for easier access.
11. Tool integrations in MillionSpark – embed Jaaxy and Niche Finder features directly inside MillionSpark.
12. Starter-level earnings – let free members earn small rewards on the platform to showcase value and encourage upgrades.
13. Own-domain input – allow users to plug in their own domains into NameGenuity/MillionSpark for tailored suggestions.
14. “Powered by” branding – add a “powered by WA” badge on all external tools to reinforce the connection.

Combining everyone's ideas in one place and sharing them is powerful. Thank you!

I think if this time could be dedicated towards improving the internal platform & fixing glitches, then the best WA entrance points could be glowing reviews from affiliates. I remember how we had a discussion on how less entrance points proved far better for conversion rate optimisation.

9

Wow! Often super affiliates say... Kyle and Carson take our feedback seriously, and they are open-minded; our feedback is heard. They give utmost value to our feedback! Here is the proof! Kyle, you are awesome!

8

Thank you for the information, Happy 4th to you

I was honestly going to type the exact same thing. I'm all for growth, but there are literally complaints every single day in chat about the same exact issue over and over and I think they need some extra attention.

Or maybe let's create an entrance point at Site Support, lol.

7

We are dedicating just as much time to fixing glitches and bugs, trust me. We have around 60-70 tickets currently, so the team is working hard to get through all of these items. ;)

2

That is also a project that we are working on diligently. This is not taking away from that, there is a little more complexity when it is involving multiple teams, and we are building technology to solve problems on the hosting side, user initiated. That is highest priority over anything, and is an immediate focus. ;)

3

Thanks Sabrina, we will keep you posted. ;)

1

Wow

2

Prioritizing internal platform improvements and bug fixes could turn affiliate satisfaction into our strongest WA entrance point. As we've seen before, fewer—but higher-quality—entrance points drive better CRO results.

2

Internal fixes, such as Mobile GIFs?

2

I wish; they still don’t work 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

1

I'm so happy to hear this clearly I'm at the right platform.

3

Indeed! You have everything to succeed on the WA platform! Discipline and consistency are the keys to success!

2

Haha, those are coming!

Patience Daniel Son!

My favorite idea is #4. MAC.

Thanks a lot and wishing you great success!

Gail I thought your suggestion was a good one in fact I ask my AI about it.

Gail’s AI Blog Writer Tool Idea — Expanded

💡 Gail’s Core Suggestion:
Leverage the existing WA AI Blog Writer as a front-facing freemium tool to:
- Attract non-members who need writing help for platforms like LinkedIn, Medium, Quora, or Substack.
- Offer a “create + publish” flow that mimics the WA internal blog system.
- Funnel users into full Wealthy Affiliate membership by showing the value of the writing and affiliate tools.

✅ Why This Idea Is Smart:
1. WA already has the infrastructure (AI writing tools, blog hosting, content training).
2. Content creation is a major gateway into affiliate marketing.
3. Freemium tools attract attention — think Grammarly, Jasper, or Copy.ai.
4. WA could differentiate itself from AI tools by combining content creation and monetization training.
5. Many people writing on Medium, Substack, or Quora want to monetize, but don’t know how — WA fills that gap.

🔧 Additional Features/Thoughts:
You could suggest these enhancements to round out Gail’s concept:

1. WA AI Writing Hub (Public-Facing Mini Tool)
- A simplified version of the WA AI blog tool, free to use for article generation.
- Add a few optional “export to” integrations (Medium, LinkedIn, Substack).
- After writing: “Want to learn how to monetize your writing?” ➝ Funnel to WA membership.

2. Templates for Popular Platforms
- LinkedIn article starter
- Substack newsletter intro
- Quora answer helper
- Blog post optimized for SEO

3. Include a Free Publishing Portal
- Let visitors write and host one article publicly on a WA-branded landing page.
- Built-in CTAs: “This post was created using Wealthy Affiliate’s AI Writer.”

4. Email Capture & Funnel
- Let people save their article drafts by entering their email.
- Follow up with a short email course on “How to Turn Your Writing Into Passive Income.”

🎯 Positioning Statement:
“Write. Publish. Profit.
Use our free AI-powered writing tool to create engaging articles for your blog, LinkedIn, or newsletter — and learn how to turn those words into income with Wealthy Affiliate.”

-Shirley and Teapot AI (mostly Ai)

✅ Please can you DRAW OUT physical visual picture on a blackboard or whiteboard of whole PROCESS showing what we are actually building at WA this will help out new members to have a good mental picture of what we are building and they can see what exact stage they have reached DURING THE CORE TRAINING

Take a look at this EXAMPLE picture bellow from my previous program INVINCIBILITY MARKETER.

He simplifies the entire process down very well in this lesson explaining visually how the make money online process works.

Thank you Eric for your contribution.
I have just watched that video till the end but that is not what I am talking about.

1

In the first minute of the video he explains how the process is actually very very simple and we don’t want to overcomplicate it.

The visual in the video is exactly how affiliate marketing works. All we’re doing here to be successful is creating more and more content to find our audience.

You can build traffic through your website, through YouTube, through socials, through email marketing, through PPC, and any combination in between, so there wouldn’t be a way to draw that out any simpler than what he has right there throughout that video 👍🏼

Best of luck to you. 💯

Hello, what a great way to help people out and guest what I am on most off those platforms and its a skill I want to focus later on, thanks have a great day Jon 👍🤪

You are all mis understanding me or I am not explaining what I mean properly ….I totally understand how Affiliate marketing works I joined a previous program extreamly detail program for 5 months before coming to WA it was too expensive almost $300 monthly costs so I left that program came to WA … what I would like him to draw out is what we are actually building out INSIDE THE SECTION HE CALLS “FOUNDATION” if he could draw that out and insert it at the BEGINNING of the core training then we can have a visual picture and clear imagination of what we are building in the foundation for EXAMPLE a website with just 3-4 PAGES (what can this achieve) AND, OR A WEBSITE WITH 15 PAGES (what can this achieve)
The drawing could be in the form of a TREE 🌴 with branches for example.

I am currently on core training phase 4 Leason 2 and I have been going through the lessons meticulously but without having any visual clue of how the final picture of the foundation can look like or should look like or the options of how your final foundation can look like with advantages and disadvantages and limitations of each either 3-4 PAGE or 15 PAGE SITE.

This drawing would really help beginners a lot. That’s my contribution.

If we were all building the same thing, you could potentially create a visualization of what that progress would look like. But we're all creating very different businesses.

You could be building a website with hundreds of posts that earns thousands per month, while I could have a website with less posts, but also be focusing on YouTube, while another member could be building out a website with key articles using PPC to drive traffic to them to then get names on his or her email list...

You see how it would be impossible to say "here you are in the progression of your business" when all of our businesses can go in any direction we want. 👍🏼💯

The key is to focus on your progression through the training, learning more every day, and doing your best to focus on the big picture of creating quality content that attracts visitors 👍🏼

Eric exactly we are both saying the same thing so that’s why I mentioned a tree which has many branches which would represent several types of businesses either MANY POSTS or MANY PAGES advantages and disadvantages….you are speaking like this because you know a lot about Affiliate marketing, many new beginners have no idea so the visual image I am talking about will give them a better idea right from the beginning of all the different possibilities of what they are about to build that’s all I am saying ..!!

The further you go in the training the more clear it all becomes. You’re just on the learning curve right now. Totally natural. 👍🏼

You mention pages vs posts, and which would be better…Pages are more the foundational content like your About Me, Contact, Affiliate Disclosure, Privacy Policy, etc.. As Kyle explains in the training, you start building the foundation and then start creating your posts to rank and get traffic and that process never stops.

As you continue to build, your website itself becomes the visualization of what it’s becoming. It starts to take shape, and you get more and more comfortable building it piece by piece, with a clearer and clearer vision of its direction.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you very much for your explanations.

Hello, I really think what you guys are doing is great and also all of the other work that you do, and I just what to say thanks whoever fixed my system, it was funny it did the run away from me, went from google, and 4 hours later I found it in Microsoft , I don't know what happened but I am just going to say it was my doing, but just looking for it and how, I got to tap into a lot of things that I haven't seen or knew about so I gained some skills out of my, I don't know what happened, thanks to everyone for the help, have a great day Jon👍

Very owsam

Again, wonderful, some great suggestions too, but my question/suggestion, is there a listing of what we can already use? What does a newly registered user see & get? Since I am a member for years, I lost sight of what all is, lost in the forest as there are so many trees 😜.

One thing that you could always do Luc is create a free Starter account, just to see what they get here within the community. There is also a breakdown on the Pricing page here:

If you have any further questions about what a Starter member gets, I would be happy to help you out as well. ;)

Thank you 🙂

No problem!

These sound like great tools for affiliates, even though I personally feel like we already have enough. However, innovation is king. People have different expectations, and having several tools and options is a good strategy for WA and members. Let me first see how these tools work before commenting or suggesting changes or other tools altogether.

Absolutely, see them roll out and I am sure your creative engines will be rolling. ;)

I'll see.
John

The feeling is mutual over here.

More great innovation! One of the items in the list above caught my eye.

8. "All-in-one funnel system – a builder like Systeme.io for funnels, landing pages and email pipelines inside WA."

Incorporating into the above or as a stand-alone entrance feature, would be a free drag and drop landing page editor that includes free hosting and either 3rd party autoresponder integration or WA's potential autoresponder, also mentioned in the above list. It would include free DFY lead magnets.

Excellent, thanks for the feedback here Greg. Will add these notes here, an autoresponder is on the list, but not our highest priority at the moment.
