Seth, 19At a glance
Who
Seth says: “I’m 19. I just moved to Chicago”, “originally from California, Sacramento, California” (0:09). The Real World’s caption: “Seth, 19”, with a US flag.
Starting point
“I had a part-time job pretty much as a landscaper” while “going to college” (3:54). The caption: Seth “had no monetizable skills” on joining.
Campus
The caption says Content Creation & AI. Seth’s own words are about copywriting: “I was doing copywriting”, “made my way up in the copywriting campus” (1:24). Seth mentions “the CCAI campus” once, describing the chats as a captain (2:52).
Timeline
Joined “June of last year, so a little bit over a year and a half” (0:21); no money “for I think four or five months”; then clients. The video doesn’t name the year.
Result (video)
“I made about 6,000 just in copywriting. And then of course, now I’m getting paid, like, I’m making over 100 grand a year” (3:43). Seth doesn’t say what the current income is for.
Result (caption)
The Real World’s caption: “New revenue: $10k/month”, and that Seth has “since learned Content Creation & AI”, taking the income “to over $10,000/month”.
Role
“So of course I was a captain, so I spoke to pretty much students all the time”, with “live streams when I was talking to thousands of people” (2:32).
Seth’s “over 100 grand a year” is about $8,300 a month, less than the caption’s “over $10,000/month”, and Seth gives no currency. The caption credits Content Creation & AI; in the video the first earnings (“about 6,000”) are from copywriting and Seth doesn’t say where the rest comes from. The video was on The Real World’s home page by 27 November 2023. The figures are Seth’s and The Real World’s own; this site hasn’t seen them.
What Seth said
6 lines from the interview, copied exactly, each with what it means in plain English. The times are where they fall in the video.
“For a long time, I didn’t make any money inside The Real World, for I think four or five months.”
What it means: The slow start, in Seth’s words: about “200, 250 bucks” of membership before the first result.
“I finally started to get some clients and kind of made my way up in the copywriting campus”
What it means: The first money came from copywriting for clients, in the campus now called Strategic Marketing, not from content creation.
“I made about 6,000 just in copywriting.”
What it means: Seth’s figure for copywriting alone, with no currency or time frame.
“now I’m getting paid, like, I’m making over 100 grand a year.”
What it means: A yearly figure, about $8,300 a month if it is dollars. The Real World’s caption says over $10,000 a month. Seth doesn’t say what the work is.
“And the CCAI campus, it’s how can I make money doing content creation?”
What it means: The one time Seth mentions the campus the caption names: as a captain, describing what students talk about in each campus.
“I would go work on my computer for five to like nine hours, ten hours a day. And I’d work my part-time job for six hours a day.”
What it means: How Seth fitted it in: long days on the computer on top of the landscaping job, “for like a year”.
What Seth did, step by step
Seth decided to change
Seth says the message “really just resonated with me, and I decided to change”, and joined in “June of last year”, when it was “only 50 bucks”.
In the video at 0:21
Seth learned copywriting, with no results at first
“I was doing copywriting. I didn’t make any money” for “four or five months”, spending “50 bucks a month, 200, 250 bucks” in all.
In the video at 1:24
Seth kept the job and worked long days
Six hours a day at the landscaping job, then “five to like nine hours, ten hours a day” on the computer, then the gym: “That was like my life for like a year.”
In the video at 3:54
Seth dropped out of college
“I told my dad, hey, give me six months. And I dropped out of college.” A personal gamble, not advice.
In the video at 4:44
Seth landed clients and rose in the campus
“I finally started to get some clients”, Seth says, and “made my way up in the copywriting campus”, later becoming a captain (2:32).
In the video at 1:46
Seth moved to Chicago
“making more money than I have ever made, more money than my parents, and I’m 19 years old”, living in “a house with a couple other G’s”.

Full transcript
Read the full interview transcript (6 minutes)
Transcribed on 26 October 2026 from the interview audio with Whisper speech recognition (run locally), then checked against a second full pass and a re-run of every quoted part: punctuation fixed, nothing added; “[unclear]” marks words the passes don’t agree on (at 0:57 the passes hear “it was University”, “when I was in college or university” and “hospitalization university”: probably the old name, Hustlers University). Speaker labels are ours. The interviewer is from The Real World. It contains some swearing, kept as spoken. The $50 mentioned was the price at the time; today it is $99 a month on the official checkout. The Real World also used a re-edited cut of the same interview, with the answers in a different order.
0:00 Interviewer: So, I guess, start by telling us, your name is Seth, but start with your name, your location, your age, where you live, and how you first found The Real World.
0:09 Seth: Yeah. So my name's Seth. I'm 19. I just moved to Chicago, actually. This is one of the opportunities that I've had because of The Real World. I just moved to Chicago. I'm originally from California, Sacramento, California.
0:20 Interviewer: Okay.
0:21 Seth: Of course, that's inside the United States. I joined The Real World probably about, I think it was June of last year, so a little bit over a year and a half. And I first joined, I was kind of a loser. I tell people this all the time. I had a little bit of a harder past, but I was kind of the epiphany of the loser you and Andrew talked about. And when you guys started to blow up, I realized I was really the kind of person you guys talked about. It really pointed out to me that this is who I am and this is the life I'm going to live if I don't change it. And so it kind of really just resonated with me, and I decided to change. I saw, back then, it was [unclear] University being advertised, and I was like, hey, this is kind of like something that's only 50 bucks, why not try it? So I joined.
1:10 Interviewer: So you were the typical loser who me and Andrew talked shit about, and you decided that you wanted to be on the winning team and not the team of brokies.
1:18 Seth: Yeah. I decided I wanted to do something with my life. I wanted to change it.
1:23 Interviewer: That's awesome.
1:24 Seth: I started the path. You know, I went through a lot of trials and tribulations. It's a very lonely path. And for a long time, there was no results. For a long time, I didn't make any money inside The Real World, for I think four or five months. I was doing copywriting. I didn't make any money. So I spent, you know, 50 bucks a month, 200, 250 bucks, depending on how long it was. And then I finally started to see results. I finally started to get some clients and kind of made my way up in the copywriting campus and got to the top kind of people. And now here I am, living in Chicago, making more money than I have ever made, more money than my parents, and I'm 19 years old. And now I live in a house with a couple other G's. We're building a G house out here in Chicago. And it's amazing.
2:11 Interviewer: I'm going to ask you then a little bit about this. Talk a little bit about the culture of The Real World, because if you listen to the BBC or the mainstream media, they'll say it's a toxic, horrible culture where we teach people to be misogynists. You've obviously made a lot of friends and connections from inside the ecosystem. Talk a bit about the culture and the people that you meet.
2:32 Seth: Yeah. So of course I was a captain, so I spoke to pretty much students all the time, and I had interviews and stuff like that. I had live streams when I was talking to thousands of people. And it's literally the same across every single campus, and it's like one conversation mainly: how can I make money? And the conversation might change between campuses, like copywriting is like, how can you make money in copywriting, right? And the CCAI campus, it's how can I make money doing content creation? So of course the conversations are going to change slightly across the spectrum, but it's always the main goal: how can I get better, and how can I achieve the main goal of becoming successful and escaping the rat race, nine-to-five work? And so it's the same conversation across the board. You hardly ever find any other conversations.
3:15 Interviewer: So how long have you been inside?
3:17 Seth: About a year and a half.
3:19 Interviewer: A year and a half. So your first four months, you openly admit you made nothing, because you were just learning some of the information slowly, not attacking it maybe as hard as you should. So a year and a half, so you've probably, you've paid maybe seven, $800 in membership fees up until this point. What kind of return on investment have you seen? I mean, how much money have you made as a direct result of The Real World?
3:42 Seth: Yeah. Well, I made over, I made about 6,000 just in copywriting. And then of course, now I'm getting paid, like, I'm making over 100 grand a year.
3:49 Interviewer: Where would you be today if you hadn't discovered The Real World? What would you be doing?
3:54 Seth: That is a very good question. Before, why I was joining, why I was in the War Room, or sorry, The Real World, I had a part-time job pretty much as a landscaper. I was a laborer, just working my ass off every day in the hot weather, and it sucked. It sucked. It really did suck. I would do that and then I would go work on my computer for five to like nine hours, ten hours a day. And I'd work my part-time job for six hours a day. And then I'd go to the gym and then I'd sleep, pretty much. That was like my life for like a year. I just grind and try to get it, try to get through it. And until recently, I finally made it out and doing this, and it's a lot different, right? This is way better. So if I wasn't here, and if I was just still doing that, I don't know, because even before that I was doing nothing. I was just going to college, and I was just going to college, working a part-time job, and I was like, hey, I've had enough of this. And I told my dad, hey, give me six months. And I dropped out of college. So I guess I'm a college dropout.
4:49 Interviewer: What would you say to other boys your age, guys who are 18, 17, 19, who are saying, oh, well, The Real World, this looks like a scam, I'm not going to fall for this, the Tate brothers just want to steal my $50? I mean, what would your message be to the people who say this? Because people do say this.
5:05 Seth: Yeah, of course. And I've had other interviews and I always tell people the same thing. It's like, hey, at the end of the day, you have to figure out what you want in life. What do you want, right? Do you want to be just a nine-to-five worker and have nothing? Like maybe a little bit of vacation every once in a while. Or you actually have a life you want that's actually successful. And it's like, pay $50, and even if it doesn't work out, it's $50. You can make it back in a day. It's such a simple equation. What do you want? And it's just, you want to work a nine-to-five? Okay, then don't join. You want something better in life? Then join and see how it works out, right? That's what I did, and it worked out well. That's all I tell people.
5:39 Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in the next two or three years? What's the plan from here? Because you're only 19. When I was 19, I was working in a fast food restaurant. I had no clue what I was going to do. I had no direction till I was about 20, 21. So you're beating me so far.
5:56 Seth: That's good to know. Yeah. So it's the near future: I'm looking to join, you know, the War Room. That's a very big thing. I'm looking to join by January.
6:05 Interviewer: Awesome.
6:06 Seth: So that's the first step. And then the next steps are just kind of build things, start getting money, start investing. So in my late 20s, 30s and everything, I'm built out and I have everything I need. If I want to coast, which I probably won't, but if I want to coast, then I can. If I want to keep working, I can. Whatever I want to do is pretty much mine. I want to take care of my family. I want to retire them. That's really the main things. Buy a nice car.
6:31 Interviewer: Congratulations, and just keep it up. Keep winning, keep grinding, and I'll see you at the top.
6:38 Seth: Yes, sir. We will meet in person soon.
6:40 Interviewer: Absolutely. I look forward to that, brother. I look forward to that. Have a good day, Seth. Thanks very much.
6:45 Seth: You too. Goodbye.

What the AI Creative campus offers
What the AI Creative campus looks like from a member’s account, how a new member starts, and what the support is like. The AI Creative campus page covers what it teaches, and the AI Creative campus review covers the costs and what can go wrong.
How you get started
Join and pick AI Creative
One membership covers every campus: $99 a month or $996 a year on the official checkout. In the app the campus is called “AI Creative”; the official site still lists it as Content Creation + AI and has no course page for it.
Start with course 1
1. What You Need To Know First (“The Basics That Everybody Else Gets Wrong”). Its first module has four lessons: Welcome To The AI Creative Campus, Productivity > Consumption, The Power Of Showing Up and The Elephant In The Room.
Then the numbered courses
2. The Foundation Of Making Money With Video (“Build The Skill Everything Else Depends On”) and 3. Start Getting Paid ASAP (“The Step That Gets You To $10K A Month”) are locked at the start, as are Social Media Marketing and Behind The Scenes of Cobratate. The Short Form AI Editing Bootcamp is open from day one.
Give it time
Seth made nothing “for I think four or five months” (1:32) and kept a part-time job meanwhile. The first earnings, by Seth’s account, came from copywriting clients.
What support is like
- Chats. A new member sees four channels: #announcements, #popespeech, #wins and #ai-creative-chat. Seth, a captain at the time: “it’s literally the same across every single campus, and it’s like one conversation mainly: how can I make money?” (2:40). The Real World publishes no response-time promise.
- Captains. Seth: “I was a captain, so I spoke to pretty much students all the time”, with interviews and “live streams when I was talking to thousands of people” (2:32). That is Seth’s account of the role.
- Other campuses. One membership covers every campus. Seth’s first earnings came from copywriting: see the Strategic Marketing campus (formerly Copywriting).
- #wins and the leaderboard. A staff post in #announcements says the #wins channel “starts the process” and that the top 25 are confirmed “with proof” before the leaderboard. No posts from it have been captured for this site yet.
- No guarantee. The Real World’s Terms of Use say it doesn’t guarantee any financial outcome. Every campus starts from the fundamentals and assumes no prior knowledge.
Real wins and reviews
No posts from the AI Creative campus’s own #wins channel have been captured for this site yet, so these are other members’ wins from across The Real World, with names and avatars blurred (any that show this campus come first). Tap any screenshot to see it full size. They are individual results, not typical ones, and not a promise: The Real World doesn’t publish average member earnings.
What members said on Trustpilot
Trustpilot has since removed The Real World’s profiles. These excerpts come from archived copies of those pages, read on 25 October 2026, with the reviewer’s first name, country and date as shown; “Invited” is Trustpilot’s label for reviews that came through a business link. The jointherealworld.com.de profile was not run by The Real World; reviewers used it anyway. They are reviews of The Real World as a whole, not of one campus, and other people’s words, not this site’s findings.
“The biggest thing for me, besides the lessons and the professors, is the community. You have a problem, ask a question in chat, fixed in 5 minutes.”
“after a month, I informed them that their services were not suitable for me. Despite my clear communication, they attempted to withdraw a significant amount of money from my credit card for an additional two months.”
The Real World replied: “turn off auto-renew before your next billing date.”
“Most the informaton you could find for free online in other places but you'll spend more time trying to find a simple step by step guide then using this platform.”
“Despite paying $49 per month (around $300 total), I didn't make any money or gain valuable insights. Much of the content was outdated and U.S.-focused”
“the campuses are also perfect if you are completely new to these methods of wealth creation but it'll take you some time before you see results.”
“The courses themselves are okay, but they're difficult to apply, and getting real clients is even harder. Overall, I don't think this works.”
For the record, the scores on 27 February 2025: the profile at trwstudent.com showed 2.9 from 23 reviews, and therealworldeducation.com showed 4.4 from 82, most of them invited through a business link over two days. Both profiles have since been removed.
Is this path for you?
It may suit you if
- You can go months without results. Seth made nothing “for I think four or five months”.
- You can put long hours in around a job. Seth worked six hours a day landscaping and “five to like nine hours, ten hours a day” on the computer.
- You are open to more than one campus. Seth’s first income came from copywriting, though The Real World files Seth under Content Creation & AI.
- You like making videos or other content, and learning new software to do it.
It may not suit you if
- You plan to make one video and stop. In the view of the member behind this site, the campus is about “quality and quantity, not just quantity and not just quality”, so it needs regular posting.
- You need income in the first few months. Seth didn’t make any money for four or five months.
- You can only give it the odd hour. The official courses page says “the checklist expects a few focused hours per day” and that “Members who treat it as a side interest see little.”
- You need a guaranteed return. The Real World’s Terms of Use say it doesn’t guarantee any financial outcome, and Seth’s figures are Seth’s own.
Seth’s numbers are one student’s account, given in an interview The Real World chose to publish. Whether you have to show your face, and which platforms it focuses on: the Content Creation + AI campus review (written before the app renamed it AI Creative).
