Beer With Kyle: The NEW Points Platform, How Much Can You Earn?

Hey Everyone,
Today, I’m walking you through one of the most exciting updates inside the upcoming Wealthy Affiliate platform, the brand-new Points and Earnings System. This platform is going allow you to earn while you learn, create, and contribute right here within WA!

First Though, the Beer of the Week.

Before diving in, this week’s beer is the Sea Dog Amber Ale by Vancouver Island Brewer. A local favorite brewed right here in Victoria, BC.

Despite not being the biggest fan of amber ales, this one is smooth, lighter than expected, and has just enough caramel notes without being too rich. A great surprise from a reliable (and local) craft brewer.

Earn While You Learn: Points Now Have Value

One of the core updates we’re rolling out with the new UX is the evolution of the Ambassador Program into something even more rewarding: the Leaderboards & Points System.

Here’s how it works:

(1) You Earn by Contributing

Every meaningful interaction in the community—whether it’s:

• Writing blog posts
• Helping someone in the comments
• Asking a thoughtful question
• Creating tutorials
• Recording video classes

…earns you points, which now translate directly into real revenue.

(2) Real-Time Earnings Breakdown

Inside the new UX, you’ll be able to see:

• Your monthly earnings
• How much each activity or community is contributing
• Which content types are driving the most value

As of today (Day 23 of the month), I’ve earned $351.89. Naturally, I’m the most active user on the platform, but this shows what’s possible.

Whether it’s $0.50 a month or more than your entire membership cost, it’s now possible to subsidize or even profit from your activity at Wealthy Affiliate.

(3) It’s Competitive, Fair & Dynamic

• Earnings can rise or fall based on your consistency and community contributions
• Leaderboards are 30-day rolling, which means no one can dominate forever, everyone has a fair shot
• Detailed insights show where your points are coming from, so you can double down on what’s working

Building Toward a Creator Economy

This update ties into a much larger initiative. We’re positioning WA as the ultimate creator environment for online business builders. You’ll be able to:

• Create and share content
• Generate affiliate commissions from that content
• Help others and earn revenue through platform contributions
• Build your brand while building your business

This is the new world of building a business online. Everyone is a creator now, and WA is giving you the tools, the platform, and the rewards to grow as one.

Coming Very Soon

• We are in late-stage beta.
• No new features are being added, just polish and testing.
• This points system, along with new leaderboards, communities, and redesigned core training, is part of the full platform rollout coming in weeks.
