Will Wealthy Affiliate Go Social
One of the most important lesson that we learn here is getting traffic to our sites. Yet, most of us have at least one social media platform that we don't use or don't like.
Each platform has a different structure as well as their own set of rules. I liked FaceBook for PERSONAL use but not for my business. I have been thinking, will Wealthy Affiliate go social?
Can It Happen
Kyle and Carson have knowledge about every aspect of building a successful online business.
They obviously know their way around social media and the many advantages social media has, as well as what would be a great social media platform.
They are both very busy here within the platform, not just with training, helping others and creating their own post, but they are both very busy behind the scenes as well.
What do you think about Kyle and Carson building a social media platform? Think they could create one for Wealthy Affiliate?
I have had issues with FaceBook ads for the last 3 days. I asked question about it here in WA and Vickic3 and I had a small conversation about this.
Just Throwing It Out There
So what if Kyle and Carson were to create a social media platform. Not just for WA, I mean there isn't as much advantage in that.
But, what if they built it based on the needs of members of WA? To gain more followers that are non-members and to post ads on?
I am not saying that they should be the complete opposite of FaceBook or Google +. There has to be rues in order to maintain a safe and fair experience for everyone.
How awesome would it be though? I remember the most recent platform (not mentioning the name) that everyone said was an MLM or whatever.
I believe that this is something the 2 of them could do. They could use their knowledge and create the perfect social media platform.
We would be able to place ads without as many restrictions, especially since Google seems to be really picky when it comes to WA and probably FaceBook as well.
FaceBook has severe issues with hackers and fake news as well as scam ads. To be honest, I wonder what percentage of its members are even REAL people.
What Are Your Thoughts
What do you think about this? Is this something that should be suggested to Kyle and Carson? Do you think that it has been suggested before?
Do you think it is a good suggestion for them to think about? Do you think it would have benefits if it was open to the public and not just WA members?
I know there are a couple of really good social media platform out there, but I think there should be one for this type of business as well.
Surely it can happen and still comply with privacy, laws and regulations. If they were to come up with a social media platform, would you join it? I know I would,
****This post is based on a discussion between 2 members. Vickic3 and myself. Kyle nor Carson was involved in any way. ****
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. I think it would be a great idea.
Wishing you the best in all you do

Lee Ann,
I believe that there is a need for a social site as a branch of WA.If we look at many blogs or comments within WA we can see that many people are more interested in social issues or their personal problems than in creating a business.In this age many people feel alone and want to relate to a community and WA is a very friendly community.However WA is a business site,we pay to belong because of the learning and all the values it offers for business.I am not insensitive to the emotional needs of fellow members but I want to focus on business.Carving out of WA a social site would benefit everybody.
Thank you Carlos.. You have definitely shown a new perspective on this.
I do agree with you as well.
It is sometimes hard to stay "all business" though. I have the issue myself.
I feel so comfortable here. It is like a job. I love to be social with my coworkers/management .
Any job that I had loved me and my performance. But I do see what you are saying and you aren't alone wither.
I have read a few post that address the same concerns.
I truly appreciate your input.
Wishing you the best in all you do

ecstatic :)

You may be on to something. Yes I do not like Facebook at all. Several times over the years have deleted my accounts only to see a small need to reactivate. A WA social media exclusive group could be created which could facilitate the needs of WA folks.
I know how you feel. I am not a fan of FB at all.
It has done nothing for me other than cause headaches.
Thank you for your thoughts on this.
I appreciate it : )

I really appreciate you chiming in Chrissie.
I think it would be awesome if it were a platform that was for anyone and not just members.

Lee Ann, I don't know enough to say one way or the other, but it's certainly innovative of you to suggest the idea. I would definitely join based on what I know now. cheers and thank you for the effort! Marc.
Thank you Marc.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Nice post.
I myself already think of Wealthy Affiliate as a type of social network.
Not popular as Facebook but still, social network.
THank you Strahinja.
I agree, but think how awesome it would be to have a social media platform built by Kyle and Carson based on their knowledge, yet open to everyone, not just us.
Wishing you the best in all you do

Very true Mike.
But we aren't allowed to post links and it wouldn't help anyway as we are all already members.
Our suggestion is a SM platform that wouldn't be just for us.
It is always a pleasure to see you and hear your thoughts : )
