We Are LIVE! Dark Mode, Leaderboards, and Communities & More!

Today marks the launch of the new Wealthy Affiliate environment, the biggest day in the 20 year history of our company.
This update brings everything into one place so you can learn, earn, and grow your online business faster than ever, and it is setting us up to move WA into a "rapid development environment" where we are going to be building, innovating and evoling the platform here at a faster pace than ever.
Let's have a look what has come with this BIG update...

First Up, Earn As You Learn.

Earn as You Learn

You earn points for interacting, creating, and helping others. Points come from watching videos, completing lessons, video blogging, blogging, commenting, like, and getting liked, and being active within WA (with regularity). All Premium level members in the community will be able to video blog (within the next week) and earn status on our brand-new leaderboard platform.
You can cash out your earnings each month once you hit the $10 threshold. Some members earn a few dollars per month while others cover their entire membership cost...or more. This program is automatic for Premium and Premium Plus members.
NOTE: On Starter you can see your earnings but cannot cash out earnings until you are at a Premium Level. , and you earn at a lower rate than Premium level members.

Updated Core Training & Centralized Menu Link.

We have refocused our core training on the future of building an online business, including how AI fits into our platform. Success comes down to traffic and reach, so every module emphasizes strategies to drive more visitors and grow your audience.
The paths blend short videos, step-by-step tutorials, and hands-on exercises so you never wonder what to do next.
Core Training - New UX
On another note, you are no longer required to build a Hub to access the core training as it is now within the main menu, under "Core Training". This core training is going to be completely revamped, with the first phase rolling out by Friday of this week.

Next Generation Training & Communities Platform.

Dark Mode & Light Mode.

Pick the view that works best for you. Dark mode reduces eye strain in low light, and light mode keeps things bright during the day.

You can toggle modes at the bottom of the side menu next to “Account Settings.” Your choice syncs across all your devices. See below (the red arrow).

Here is what Dark Mode looks like:

And here is the light mode:

Choose whichever one you like most, or change it based on your mood for the day. There is a lot of awesome feedback about dark mode though, try it out!

Faster Innovation Ahead...and It's Going to Come Fast!

We built this environment to speed up the launch of new tools and features. This week you will see fresh classes on AI tools, niche building, and traffic strategies.

In the weeks ahead, expect new research dashboards, prompting tools, design features, and content platform improvements that make your experience more intuitive and powerful.

We are going to innovate faster than ever, we are going to provide tools to make you more powerful than ever, and we are going to put you ahead of any competition...simply by being part of the platform and community here at WA!

And Now for YOUR Feedback...

Check out the new environment, start earning points, and join communities that match your goals. We would also love to hear your feedback on the new platform, and of course if you discover any bugs at all please report them and we will tackle these (there are already several that we are going to have squashed by the end of the week).

Appreciate everyone in the community, and we can't wait for the future here at WA!
