Hello Kyle I hope you are doing well,

First, I am extremely happy with the platform, you created something amazing here. I never got so much value out of anything, specially marketing and internet courses. You and Carson truly are making a difference.

I been blogging recently about Steemit, the new social media. It's still on beta but it's already huge and people make a living out of it.

https://steemit.com/

Basically they have their own currency called Steem and they reward you for it when you post, like, share and comment. It's like a Facebook that PAYS YOU for using it.

I have only been active a couple of days but really see the potential in this, it's amazing. I think is one of the most exciting projects for content creators like you and me.

Today I was thinking... Why couldn't wealthy affiliate do the same thing?

Think about it... what if you could measure in dollars and cents, how much every interaction in your site is worth for you? and then reward people accordingly.

How much is worth to the platform every time a creator that is ranked 100 or more posts a training that 100 people liked share or commented on. If you knew that, then you could give some of it back.

This will push people into creating more amazing content, since they could make a profit of it! making the platform more valuable and attractive to more people to join! bringing

Steemit evens rewards new comments with one cent every time you like or share something, you can even post and auto-like to get some value of it. Even if it's insignificant, if people get rewarded straight away it will push them into keep interacting with the system. The more they do it, the more they'll learn, the more they go up in ranking, the more they are worth, the more they i'll get paid. At first since you are paying monthly this will only mean a cut from your monthly rate, but if the content is valuable enough, say a long-timer that gets lots of shares and comments, could very well make a living of it, since the content made your site more valuable.

Imagine what the platform would look like if you could have people living off making amazing content and marketing it to get the most engagement.

I think this idea is extremely exciting, maybe I can't express it as well as I would like. But if you get what I mean I'd say is worth at least to think about it.

1-It would have to run, like steemit, with it's own currency say the WA token. This would have to be distributed in the community accordingly to rank.

2-You get tokens, every time you complete a training, you comment, like, post, share, and referral people to the site. The amount will vary to your ranking and the engagement it had. Your posts and comments by the amount of likes they received. Your shares will be judge by the amount of traffic they drive to the post, and how much of that traffic interacted with it.

The training reward will depend on which lvl is on, the higher ones get better pay. This will make more people take more courses, which teaches them more, so better content get's created in return.

3-As steamit there should be a mechanic in which holding the WA token as a form of long term investment in the company, gets you rewards in the long run. With this you incentive people to not cash out straight away. Making more founds available for growth.

4-The price of the coin will go up as the site's value increases, making it more enticing for people to devote time and energy to make this a better and better platform.

This will make you dwarf the competition, you could market yourselves as the school that PAYS YOU to learn. It could be massive.

Who could could compete with you then? It would be amazing marketing, ICO's (initial coin offering) are all the rave right now, and I can totally see why.

It's a revolution . Think about it. Steemit IS the facebook that pays you... AND IT WORKS.

you could very well be the school that PAYS YOU TO LEARN.

Think about it.

I know you want to help people, anyone that's been here more than a week can tell.

I got into this site and many, many others. I'm still here, only here now. I chose this platform because I can tell you really want to help people. And you are doing it, I am so happy to have found this place, I visit the site every day.

Today you have the power to make this happen, I totally believe this. The technology is available. It's not going to be easy, but is something worth pursuing. At least I see it this way.

THE SCHOOL THAT PAYS YOU TO LEARN

I would definitely would be enrolled there :)

Kyle I'd like to hear what you think about this. Tell me why it won't work, or why is impossible.

The other readers I'd like to hear what you think, tell me if you didn't understand something. English is not my first language, so I may have not been clear in all the points. And help me to get this to kyle. Share, like it so that it reaches him :)

Is anybody else excited about this?
