Beer With Kyle: The New Website is LIVE!

Hey Everybody!

Today, I’m exciting to announce that our brand-new Wealthy Affiliate website is officially LIVE, and I’m eager to show you some of the cool new features. Plus, I’ve got some awesome tools and designs that affiliates can now use to boost their marketing. Let’s jump right into things...

Key Takeaways:

1. This Week’s Beer

As always, before we get into the main event, let’s talk about today’s beer. This week I am drinking a Pilsner from Backcountry Brewing, based in Squamish, BC (just near Whistler for those familiar with the area). It’s a light beer with a 5% ABV, perfect for a sunny day like today here in Victoria. After giving it a try, I can say it’s a solid Pilsner—refreshing and crisp, just as expected!

2. New Wealthy Affiliate Website

Now, the big news: the Wealthy Affiliate website is live! When you head over to wealthyaffiliate.com, you’ll see the fresh new look. Our message, "Design and build an online business that you love," is front and center because that’s what we do here at Wealthy Affiliate. It’s not just about affiliate marketing anymore, you can build a business around any passion you have. This new design makes that clear and invites everyone to start their journey right from the homepage.

3. Niche Research Tool

One of the most exciting updates is our niche research tool. Instead of just asking for an email to get started, we’re offering value upfront. Users can type in their passion or interest, and the tool will generate business ideas with an opportunity rating based on factors like competition and profitability. For example, if you type in "basketball," you might get suggestions like youth basketball leagues and camps. Users can then select their niche, sign up for a free starter account, and dive into building their business immediately, complete with a pre-built hub. It’s a huge improvement that adds real value before they even sign up!

4. Simplified Homepage and Flow

We’ve also streamlined the homepage to make it more user-friendly. It now clearly walks users through the steps: Choose a Business Idea, Build Traffic, and Make Money. We’ve added community testimonials and a FAQ section for social proof, and we’re considering adding a video to further build trust. It’s all about making it easier for newcomers to see the value of what Wealthy Affiliate offers.

5. Customizable Niche-Specific Homepage Designs

Now here’s where things get really exciting for affiliates. We’ve rolled out customizable homepage designs tailored to specific niches. As an affiliate, you can drive more targeted traffic by choosing a design that matches your audience’s interests. Whether it’s cooking, fitness, or even gaming, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of some of the homepage designs that you can link to:

Adding Your Affiliate ID

For affiliates, this is where things get really powerful. You can customize these links with your affiliate ID to ensure that any sign-ups are tracked back to you. Here’s how you can do it:

• If you want to promote a football niche, you would use a link like this: https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com?image=football&a_aid=YOURID
  
• Or, if you want to promote a specific business idea related to football: https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com?idea=football&image=football&a_aid=YOURID

This is great for getting hyper-relevant with your marketing. Replace YOURID with your affiliate ID, and you will be able to get credit for sharing any of these styles of affiliate links. You can even start the search for them by customizing the link with both the idea and the image. It’s never been easier to tailor your promotions to the audience you’re targeting!
