What a last few weeks of incredible creativity!

For Challenge #3, we asked our Premium Plus+ Yearly members to use the Image Studio to tell a story of transformation. The goal was to take a concept from "Before" to "After"—showing how a simple visual change can communicate value, progress, and emotion.

You can view the original challenge and all the amazing entries here.

The entries were nothing short of spectacular. We saw everything from hilarious personal makeovers and delicious culinary creations to deep spiritual shifts and powerful business metaphors. You proved that with the right AI tools, you can tell a compelling story in a single glance.

It was a tight race with incredibly high engagement, but the community has spoken!

Here are the Top 10 Winners who grabbed the most likes and will be taking home their share of the $2,500 prize pool ($50 Cash Credits + $200 in AI Credits each)!


🏆 The Top 10 Winners

1. MelWaller (25 Likes)

  • Concept: Becoming Successful with Wealthy Affiliate!
  • Mel used the simple yet powerful metaphor of baking. Just like a loaf of bread rising to perfection, his visual symbolized the patience and "rising" success found when building a business online.

2. Fleeky (24 Likes)

  • Concept: The Personal Grooming Transformation
  • Fleeky brought the humor with a visual described as "hard to resist." Featuring a transition involving lotion and a hair trimmer, this entry captured the universal need for self-care (and perhaps a little stress relief) in a way that resonated instantly with the community.

3. paulm18 (22 Likes)

  • Concept: The Affiliate Marketing Beginner's Journey
  • A highly relatable entry depicting the real journey of a beginner. The "Before" showed the confusion and overwhelm of starting out, while the "After" illustrated the clarity and confidence gained through the right training and tools.

4. Gail-UK (21 Likes)

  • Concept: A Shift in Consciousness
  • Gail took a spiritual approach for her niche, visually representing the profound transition from "3rd dimensional awareness" (limitations and boundaries) to the expansive freedom of "5D consciousness."

5. SteveO324 (16 Likes)

  • Concept: Changing Your POV on Work
  • Steve created a stark contrast between a 9-to-5 day job that feels like a "prison" and the freedom of working online, creating a "paradise" view that invites you to finally "Start Enjoying Your Work."

6. MrsSJ (14 Likes)

  • Concept: The Garden Renovation
  • A classic and effective niche example! MrsSJ transformed an overgrown, patchy lawn with worn-out furniture into a lush, well-manicured garden oasis, perfectly showcasing the potential of home improvement.

7. Anthony374 (13 Likes)

  • Concept: The Art of Tiramisu
  • Anthony used dessert to illustrate how chaos can become beauty. He compared a messy table of raw ingredients to a perfectly plated Tiramisu, symbolizing how hard work and the right components lead to a great result.

8. SoniaZ (13 Likes)

  • Concept: The "Yeti" Affiliate Journey
  • Using a creative mascot, Sonia showed a Yeti confused in a cold ice cave ("Before") transforming into a confident, suit-wearing professional in a warm office ("After"), representing the move from cold uncertainty to professional success.

9. arnnil (12 Likes)

  • Concept: Resource Evolution
  • A clever timeline comparison showing a "Fred Flintstone" stone-age approach to work versus the modern efficiency of "Working with AI," highlighting how our tools have evolved.

10. LucLifecoach (12 Likes)

  • Concept: WA Rules!
  • A powerful visual representation of moving from being lost to knowing the path to success. This resonated deeply with members who remembered their own early struggles before finding direction.

Honorable Mentions (11 Likes)

These entries were hot on the heels of the top 10, each receiving 11 likes for their creativity and execution. Great work to:

  • Sundal: Mona Lisa's Modern Makeover (Lip Fillers)

  • Mike-tmw: The Scrambled Egg (Don't let life get scrambled!)
  • Dominion9: Fire Destruction vs. Renovation

Hi Kyle

I'm very grateful but is this a rerun? I thought you already published the results of this challenge here and I'm sure you already sent me the prize - I think we are waiting for a later challenge results (no. 4 on the future you) but I may still be living in 2025!

I really think you're right 🤗

You are right, Gail! (I think it's one - or possibly two - challenges from before the December one that Kyle never announced.)

I was thinking the same. Great observation! 👌

6

You're right 100%

I have not participated in any of the challenges, my schedule has just been packed, but hey that's a good thing. but i have been following along and think it's a great idea and congratulations to all the winners. Because of WA and the training here i have gone on to do so many other things that i could not have done previously. Even areas that did not train on some of the areas that i have branched off into it, gave me the foundation and motivation in so many ways. I only have the best vibes for Kyle and Carson as we move along in 2026!!!
