Beer With Kyle: New Affiliate Program UX Coming Soon!
Hey Everyone,
I hope you’re having an awesome week. Today, I’m showcasing the redesigned Affiliate Program environment at Wealthy Affiliate...part of our major May release.
Beer of the Week
This week’s beer is Fat Tug IPA by Driftwood Brewery in Victoria, BC. It’s widely regarded as one of the best IPAs around (I think so anyways). It is crisp, hoppy, and perfect for celebrating big platform updates.
New Affiliate Program Environment
Our affiliate dashboard has received a complete facelift. Here’s what’s new:
1. Main Stats & Commission Page
- Clean, Modern Design: Redesigned to match the new UX—easy on the eyes and highly organized.
- Quick Link Access: Your primary affiliate link is front and center.
2. Tasks for Referrals
- Automated Task List: As referrals join and engage, you’ll see tasks to follow up—making communication efficient and timely.
3. Revenue Breakdown
- Detailed Payout History: View all past commissions and payments in one place.
4. Referrals Overview
- Referral Status: Track which referrals are active, upgrading, or inactive. This replaces the old “My Referrals” page with a far more insightful view.
5. Messages & Broadcasts
- Custom Messages: Create and schedule messages to starter members directly from the platform.
- Private Messaging: Reach out personally to build trust and boost conversions.
6. Link Builder
- Dynamic Link Creation: Choose destination pages, add tracking parameters, and generate links instantly.
- Performance Metrics: See clicks, referrals, and upgrades per link.
7. Ad Tracking Integration
- Multi‑Platform Support: Add tracking codes for Facebook Pixel, Pinterest, YouTube, Reddit, and more.
- Conversion Data: View ad performance and conversion stats right in your dashboard.
8. Banner Creator
- AI‑Powered Banners: Use GPT‑4o and other AI tools to design high‑quality banners on the fly.
- New Tutorials: Coming soon—step‑by‑step training on creating banners that convert.
9. Program Details & Earnings Calculator
- Transparent Metrics: See projected earnings based on referral conversion rates, upgrade frequency, and retention.
- Play with Scenarios: Adjust variables to forecast your potential commissions.

Hi Kyle!
This new Affiliate Program UX upgrade looks spectacular. Love it! You and your team continue to keep ahead of the crowd with your timely and consistent upgrades.
This is greatly appreciate and I can't wait for it to go live. Great job as always!
Have an awesome weekend! Wishing you the very best!
Kind regards,
Nichola
You have an awesome weekend ahead as well Nichola. We look forward to getting this into your hands! :)
The new UX looks fantastic, Kyle! I was wondering if it includes an updated WA sales or checkout page that allows people to purchase memberships directly. Right now, you need to sign up and be logged in to do that, but having an option for instant purchase without requiring a prior login would be a great addition for those ready to join Premium Plus right away.
Can absolutely be a consideration Kevin. We want to get this out first, and then can potentially work with you on some options like this. From our experience, payment right away is very low converting, much lower than freemium to upgrade.
Absolutely, that makes perfect sense and I completely agree in promoting a paid option right away tends to convert much lower compared to leading with the free starter membership. This kind of direct checkout could still be a useful additional option for those who are ready to buy immediately, but definitely not a replacement for the proven freemium-to-premium model.
It’s great to know this is something we can explore further once the initial rollout is complete. Thanks for keeping the door open!
Good morning Kyle,
Thank you for the update.
I like the affiliate program page with all the stats, etc, it looks good and very clear.
The custom messages feature looks exceptionally useful.
I like the estimate your revenue feature, I think that will help to motivate members.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the new features rolled out, Kyle!
Congratulations to you and the team for putting a terrific amount of effort into continually making the platform better.
Have a fantastic weekend.
