Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
Last Updated: September 15, 2026
1. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we provide this comprehensive disclosure statement to ensure full transparency regarding the commercial and affiliate relationships that exist between The Real World Portal ("we," "our," or "the Site") and third-party products, services, and companies featured on our pages.
2. What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a specific URL that contains a tracking identifier. When you click on one of these links and complete an enrollment or purchase on the target website, the merchant tracks that you were referred by our website.
Zero Additional Cost: Clicking an affiliate link or making a purchase through our referral links never increases the price you pay. In many instances, affiliate referral links unlock promotional pricing or lock in grandfathered membership rates (e.g., $99/month).
3. Affiliate Relationship With The Real World
Our portal participates actively in the official affiliate program for The Real World (operated by New Era Learning LLC). When you click calls-to-action such as "Join The Real World", "Enroll Now", or promotional buttons on this site, you are routed through our tracked referral identifier (https://jointherealworld.com/a/qmHjdpp6).
If you complete an enrollment, we receive a recurring or one-time affiliate referral commission. This commission helps fund our server hosting, independent editorial research, and the maintenance of free interactive tools such as our Campus Income Roadmaps.
4. Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosure
This website may also display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These advertisements may appear as display banners, native sponsored units, or in-article promotions.
Third-party advertisers use cookies to deliver ads tailored to your prior web browsing history. We do not personally control the specific products or services advertised in automated Google AdSense units. For details on how to manage or opt out of personalized ad cookies, please view our Privacy Policy.
5. Earnings & Results Disclaimer
Any testimonials, income figures, case studies, or student progress screenshots featured on our website represent exceptional outcomes. They do not constitute a promise or guarantee that you will achieve the same or similar results.
Building an online business requires dedication, continuous learning, and persistent execution. Your success depends on your background, discipline, work ethic, and market conditions. We encourage all visitors to conduct thorough personal evaluation before making any financial investment.
