Coffee With Kyle: Site Update, Image Studio Sneak Peek, and a Black Friday Teaser
Hey everyone!
Hope you’re having an awesome week. Welcome to another episode of Coffee with Kyle.
I’m here with one of my favorite WA mugs from our Super Affiliate Conference in Las Vegas. Quick sip… and let’s jump in.
I’ve got three things for you today:
- A website update you’ll want to know about (and use)
- A sneak peek at our upcoming Image Studio (and a request for your feedback)
- A quick Black Friday teaser
1) Website Update: Leading With Credits (and Clarity)
We’ve been iterating fast on both the platform and the public site. Expect that pace to continue as we operate in our “hyperdevelopment” mode.
What’s new on the homepage
- Credit-first messaging: We now lead with the value of free AI credits you get when joining Starter.
- Clear outcomes: Right up front, we show what you can build with your credits:
- Design logos
- Build websites
- Create images
- Architect content
- Launch businesses
- Discover domains
- Find niches
- Analyze keywords
- Exit-intent join prompt: If someone goes to leave the page, they’ll see an invite to join and claim their credits. It’s clean, relevant, and helpful.
Why this matters (especially to affiliates).
You can promote WA by giving away value, not just pitching a platform.
“Here’s $10 in free AI credits (2,000 credits) to build logos, content, images, and more. No obligation, no credit card.”
Early data shows a conversion uptick already. It’s still fresh, but signs are positive.
Tip: If you haven’t looked over the homepage recently, take a minute to click through. Knowing exactly what visitors see will help you promote with more precision.
2) Image Studio: Progress, Quality, and Your Use Cases
Here’s another sneak peek at our upcoming Image Studio inside DesignPop. The Logo Designer is already live and loved; Image Studio is next. We’re polishing features now and aiming for 4–6 weeks to release.
What we’re building for you
- High-quality generation: We’re integrating the best current AI image models (continuously updated), plus our own logic to increase your “first-try” success rate.
- Real-world integration: Generate images you can immediately use for blogs, websites, ads, pins, thumbnails, and more...without bouncing across five different tools.
- Simplicity over prompt gymnastics: We’re focused on quality outputs with less friction, so you don’t need to master obscure prompt craft to get great results.
Early tests & examples.
- Face and object control: Place and adapt subjects (e.g., branded elements, realistic scenes) with strong fidelity.
- Brand harmony: Things like turning a flat WA logo into a cloud variant that still reads as “WA”—perfect for themed campaigns.
- Retention and restyling: Keep key elements (e.g., your product or mug) while transforming style, context, lighting, or background.
We need your feedback.
Tell us the image use cases you want most:
- Blog headers / feature images
- Social posts (Instagram, X, LinkedIn)
- Pinterest pins
- YouTube thumbnails
- Display ads / performance creatives
- Product images / mockups
- Lead magnets / checklists / covers
- Quote cards, carousels, infographics
- Anything else you regularly create
The more specific you are (sizes, formats, workflows), the better we can build it for you.
3) Black Friday: Yes, It’s On (and It’ll Be Big)
Black Friday runs Friday to Monday (late November into Dec 1 this year). We’ll share full details soon, but here’s what you can count on:
- We are running a major offer again (our best yet)
- We’ll provide promotional angles and assets so you can capitalize, whether that’s to your list, site audience, or social channels
- If you’re newer to promoting WA, we’ll help you find simple, value-first strategies that work
Stay tuned, details and prep materials are coming shortly.
Your Next Moves...
- Check the homepage so you know exactly what visitors see.
- Drop your Image Studio use cases in the comments (formats, sizes, platforms, workflows).
- Get ready for Black Friday. Organize your audiences and channels now so you can act fast when we announce the offer.
Appreciate you all and I look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions for our Image Studio below.

This year, I am using our Black Friday campaign as a launch campaign for a new website I am working on.
This website will be a long-haul one that will see me transition onto a more mature, wholistic pathway.
Our WA Community has evolved and I want to be aligned with it.
Thanks for the heads up, Kyle!

Awesome, that is great to hear. The industry is evolving, and so is the platform here at WA (and quickly). These are exciting times and we want encapsulate the "future of online" with what we are developing here...and of course we have a proactive and very educated community here that is ready for it!
Hola!!
So very good to see you. 🙂
I am really good.
Closing off another successful year (thankfully) and repositioning for 2026.
So much has changed - all good - and that offers a brave new world to embrace.
Soon, I will start sharing what I have been up to.
In the mean time, I am getting acquainted with all the new faces in our WA Community.
What about you?
What is keeping you engaged these days?
🐛 Cassi 🦋
Very busy as usual, that sounds exciting... Looking forward to your next article or video!
Love the play about not only signing up for free but being able to cash in on credits. Can't wait to use more of this Image Studio. And as far as Black Friday... y'all better start planning and executing on your campaign now. Have an awesome week y'all.
Black Friday, we are on it. We are already working heavily on these campaigns and you will hear more about it soon. The community should be ramping up their efforts very soon, and you will have lots of resources to make that happen. ;)
Looking forward to seeing the image design studio. I use AI currently on chatgpt and the spelling can be wrong and it is so frustrating as the image is usually good but then it spoils it by the spelling being incorrect. So I will be eager to use this. Thank you. Have a great Sunday.
Yeah, I find GPT can be a real pain at the best of times. Our goal is to create something that isn't a pain at all, in fact it does what you want and does it with a high level quality as well! We aren't building tools to create low quality content, we are building tools that lead in terms of the quality of output.
Stay tuned, we have exciting stuff coming. Have a great week ahead Samantha! :)
Good morning Kyle,
Thank you for another update, Kyle.
I like the idea of giving new members free credits, this should encourage new members to test out the system and everything it offers, within reason. Incidentally, and this is just a thought, is there any way that I could potentially share my I unused credits, with a new user, Kyle. I'm just thinking about incentives, etc.
I look forward to seeing the design tool, I do find AI a bit erratic, when it comes to designing thumbnails, etc, it will be interesting to see how the Wealthy Affiliate model functions. Once again, it looks like you're putting in a lot of effort to making the software work, which is great.
It's great that you enjoy your coffee, Kyle, I think it's probably better than beer, especially as you are creating these videos in the morning! Like you, I'm not a great fan of Starbucks, but I do like trying independent coffee shops, etc.
It's great that you are continuing with the Black Friday offer, Kyle, it's amazing how quickly it comes around. I will be entering my 12th year at Wealthy Affiliate in November, which is potentially a good selling point, I believe.
A very happy Sunday to you.

"Incidentally, and this is just a thought, is there any way that I could potentially share my I unused credits, with a new user, Kyle. I'm just thinking about incentives, etc."
I have asked for this very thing once before. I think this is a great idea, but with limits. Use them to promote with, but not feed as the end result is for them to upgrade, but can be given a join through link bonus.
Michael
That's interesting, Michael, it sounds like great minds think alike. I don't know what the technicalities of that would be, it sounds easy enough, but maybe there's more involved than what we think.
Incidentally, did you receive a reply from Kyle, as Kyle is always open to new ideas, etc?
Have a great day.
Roy
One thing we are considering is allowing members to give out a higher level of credits, through a coupon style system. So for example, what if you could give someone a code or a link to get 5,000 credits when they join for free, instead of 2,000. That is sort of the direction we are thinking with that, and I think you are thinking along the same lines.
And yes, it is amazing how quickly a year comes around. We definitely looking forward to Black Friday this year! :)
Thank you for responding to my comments, Kyle, it's appreciated.
The coupon system sounds good, I'm guessing that may not be too difficult to implement. I often think with website functionality, sometimes, something fairly straightforward, can be quite difficult to do implement; there's always more than meets the eye! However, I think it would be a really good incentive.
Have a great day.
Roy
Nothing is impossible to implement, and as we get closer to this implementation we will likely ask for feedback from the community. We are building a lot of technology behind the scenes, and quickly. Next stop the Image Studio and we are looking forward to getting the beta out into every ones hands. ;)
It sounds good, Kyle.
I look forward to seeing these new things implemented!
I used the logo designer yesterday, to create a Facebook header photo, it worked well. Especially, for someone like me, who has no clue about how to design a logo! Carried out in just a few seconds, fantastic!
Have a great day.
Roy

I love it all, Kyle and can't wait for it to be live!
I think you covered all of the image types? I can't think of any others at this time...
Question - will there be a timer running at the startup page as is shown? If so, how will that work? Is this to try to get people to sign up or they might lose the credits if they don't join right away?
Otherwise, all looks good :)
Teri
Yeah, that is just to encourage them not to wait around to join. Create a bit of urgency, this may be removed, we are currently testing it but it is performing well. :)
Thanks for your feedback!
