If You Build It, They Will Come. So We Are Building It.

Last week I sat down and watched Field of Dreams again. If you have never seen it, a farmer hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in the middle of his cornfield. No logical reason. No guarantee anyone will show up. Just a belief that if you build it, they will come.

And I could not stop thinking about what Carson and I are building right now.

Because that line has been rattling around in my head ever since. Not as a movie quote. As a philosophy. When you build something that genuinely serves people, something that removes real barriers and opens real doors... people come. They always have.

That is the story of Wealthy Affiliate from day one. And it is about to become true in a way that I honestly could not have imagined even a couple of years ago.

We Are Building the New WA for THREE Groups.

Here is what I can tell you.

We are building the new Wealthy Affiliate right now. And we are building it for three groups of people at once.

The CURRENT community... everyone here today who is building, learning, and growing their business.

The PAST community... people who have been part of WA over the years, whose businesses and ambitions have evolved, and who are going to find something entirely new waiting for them.

And the FUTURE community... the wave of people who are about to discover that building an online business no longer requires them to do everything alone.

This new environment is being built around one core idea. We will be working towards assisting you to do anything and everything in your business.

Not some things. Not the easy things. Anything and everything.

We Can Build Anything. So Bring Us Your Ideas.

Here is the part that excites me the most, and I mean this literally.

We can build anything now.

The tools, the AI capability, the infrastructure... the barriers that used to stand between an idea and a working reality have collapsed. What used to take our team months can now take days. What used to be impossible is now a normal build cycle.

So we are taking your ideas, and we are bringing them to light.

Maybe that is an environment for AI video creation. Maybe it is a workflow for your new age SEO operations, built for how search actually works now, not how it worked five years ago. Maybe it is the ability to manage 12 businesses at once from a single place, something that would have sounded like fantasy not long ago.

We are building it.

That is not some cheesy slogan. That is the actual development philosophy behind the new WA. The community tells us what they need to move faster, and we build the environment that makes it happen.

The Opportunity Has Never Been Bigger. (Don't Forget)

I want to ground this in something real, because this is not just about shiny new technology. It is about what that technology gives you access to.

The online world you are building a business in is expanding at a staggering pace, still. All these years later when we thought it may have "peaked", it just kept going. Global ecommerce is projected to reach $6.88 trillion in 2026, on its way to nearly $7.9 trillion by 2028. Almost 2.8 billion people now shop online... a third of the entire planet.

And the creator economy? It is projected to grow from around $310 billion this year to over $1.3 TRILLION by 2033. More than 300 million people worldwide are now creating and monetizing content, and Goldman Sachs expects the space to roughly double by 2027.

Read those numbers again. This is not a shrinking pie that AI is fighting people for. This is one of the fastest expanding opportunities in human history. The question has never been whether the opportunity exists. The question is whether you have the tools and the environment to actually capture your piece of it.

That is exactly what we are building for you.

Come End of August, Everything Changes. Forever.

Now for the part I have been waiting to say.

Come the end of August, a BIG leap is happening at Wealthy Affiliate. And when I say big, I mean MASSIVE. One of the likes you have never seen from us. And we have been doing this for over two decades, so that is saying something.

I am not going to reveal the details yet. But I will tell you this.

It is going to immediately give this community a competitive advantage. The moment it arrives, the people inside WA are going to be operating with capabilities that most people building online simply will not have.

And we will not be looking back.

The farmer in that movie built the field before anyone showed up. That is what belief looks like. We have been heads down building something we believe in completely, and in a few short weeks, you are going to walk out into that field and see it for yourself.

I could not be more excited about what is coming. These next few months are going to be some of the most significant in the history of this platform, and every single one of you is going to be part of it.

So let me ask you this. If we can build anything... and we can... and knowing what you know about our approach now....what is the ONE thing you would want the new WA to help you do in your business? Dream BIG on this one. Your answer might already be on our whiteboard, and if it is not, it will most likely end up there. Drop it below.
