The finish line

The course is aimed at one thing: a 1-on-1 call where people who grow AI models every day look at your account and tell you what to fix. It’s for Premium members, and you need three things to claim it:

  • Your character built and locked in
  • A Fanvue account made through our link, verified
  • A social account built with your character, set up properly

What the course won’t do

It won’t teach you to use a real person’s face or photos, or to pass your character off as human. Every character is original and disclosed as AI.

It won’t promise you an income. Some members earn, most take months, and the work is real.

The paid course also covers adult content for Fanvue, inside Fanvue’s rules. None of it is shown on this site.

Questions about the course

What does Premium cost?

Premium is $25/month. $47/month from 20 Oct 2026. It’s a monthly Skool subscription. You can cancel it from your Skool settings.

What else will I pay for?

GPU time on RunPod while you generate or train. You pay by the hour, only while the GPU runs, and you stop and terminate the pod when you’re done. Some optional steps can use paid image APIs. The lessons say when, and what it costs.

Do I need a good PC or coding skills?

No. You work in your browser on a rented GPU, in visual tools like ComfyUI and AI Toolkit. The lessons give you every setting.

Is the course only about adult content?

No. Most of it is building the character, keeping her consistent, video, UGC for brands and growth. The paid course also covers adult content for Fanvue, inside Fanvue’s rules. None of it is shown on this site.

What is the graduation call?

A free 1-on-1 call for Premium members who have built their character, made a Fanvue account through our link and got it verified, and set up a social account properly. Graduates who sign up through our link can get a verification badge and growth help from Fanvue’s team.

Are the rank rewards real?

Yes, and here’s the honest scale. Your rank comes from likes on your posts and comments: 1 like is 1 point. Rank 8 (free lifetime access) needs 8,015 points. Rank 9 ($500 cash) needs 33,015. They’re long-term goals for the most helpful members.
