You already know what it is. PornHub represent! The world’s most popular free porn site is offering you a chance to piggyback on their traffic, for free. You get free marketing, they get free content and everyone’s a winner. They’ve got two different offers for you, each with its own pros and cons and you’d be a sucker not to sign up. Keep in mind, this is a content partner program, so if you don’t have your own smut, you’re in the wrong section. You want the content sites or the affiliate marketing section. But, if you’re producing your own porn out of a van in Eastern Europe and you want the world to see your dick, PornHub can help with that. Just make sure to rub some pussy on it.
You are technically free to send them any content you made or own for commercial reuse. But, I don’t think you can buy content from a third-party then pipe it to PornHub unless your contract very explicitly states that you’re allowed to resell it as your own. Be very careful about what you try and peddle. You don’t have to sell these videos on PornHub, per se, but you are still claiming it’s your own original content. Don’t upload other people’s shit is what I’m getting at. Find some local prostitutes who are looking to break into the porn industry, make your own shit and upload it to your site. Then, get on PornHub’s content partner program and make the big bucks.
Huge Source of Traffic
First up, we have to go over the boasts. Usually, when these types of sites boast a lot of traffic, I go in with a grain of salt. You have to be skeptical about these things. Everyone wants to promise you the moon. But, with PornHub, I don’t have to think ahead. They’re killing it. They have been killing it for over a decade now. Hell, the porn conglomerate that owns them has been in the industry for longer than I have. It’s impressive stuff. They’re a part of the PornHub network, meaning they include YouPorn, RedTube and Tube8 under your subscription. I’m not sure whether you have to opt-in to get your videos played across the entire network, but they do indeed list this as a benefit under their landing page.
This means that you’re very much looking at hundreds of millions of potential viewers. All that remains is to make sure that you’re tapping into that potential by having good content. You’ll also rest easy knowing that you’re covered by all the protections and optimizations that PornHub is spending millions of dollars on. If your content’s on their site, it’s protected by their website, same as all the other shit they host. You’re looking at zero downtime, perfect streaming service, no fuss, no muss. No matter where the chronic masturbators reside, PornHub will find them and they will serve your content to them, provided it’s worth watching, of course.
The Content Partner Program
This is the first offer that you can sign up for. It’s basically a way to get your content on PornHub straightforwardly with zero complications. You get your own channel, same as you would on YouTube and you post shit on it. You make money when people watch your videos. You’re also free to charge a subscription fee. It’s like you’re a content creator straight on PornHub, without having to have an external website. Except, unlike YouTube, PornHub is very happy about you marketing your own third-party website as long as the videos you post under your channel are legitimately fun. If they’re getting traffic, they don’t mind you getting traffic as well. So, you’re free to use PornHub as your single destination for all your smut and you can market your own site as well.
A lot of cam-whores have been flocking to PornHub thanks to this partnership program. In recent years, I’ve seen literally tens of thousands of chicks sign up to blow up their careers tenfold, even though they were already famous and successful. Whether they’re famous for live streaming or they make custom videos, you’ll find a profile page for them on PornHub.
They upload their smut there and they charge for it. But, they also run an OnlyFans at the same time, offering completely different videos there. It’s one large porn distribution network where everyone profits. PornHub straight-up has every reason to make sure that you succeed. When you bring in the views, they get traffic. They also skim off the top of your paid subscription. That’s added incentive to help you do well in this business.
Premium Viewshare Program
The Viewshare program looks almost identical to the content partner program. As a rapper, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two, unless you dive into the creator’s personal channel page. On there, you’ll see that they’ve slapped a ton of ads for their website onto their PornHub profile. There will also be one very important button that says “Join” on it with the company’s name. This is an external link. You don’t normally get these on PornHub and that’s sort of the novelty of the Viewshare program. You have your shit viewable on PornHub. Some of your videos are free; others are premium and can’t be accessed unless someone pays for them.
But, there’s also a ton of traffic being funneled straight back to your website with that external link. It sends people straight to your personal signup page, where PornHub is no longer skimming off the top. They’re basically reaching out and making it even easier for porn creators and distributors to get paid signups on their own websites as opposed to third-party hosting. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for PornHub to streamline this process in such a way that both you and they make money off of this shit. But, I get the appeal of having other people’s content on your site for free, even if it means rerouting traffic out of your site. That’s what PornHub are willing to do for you and you should be grateful.
Payment and Profit
Being the clever angel that PornHub is, they list all of the goodies that they offer you under their programs, without telling you how much money you’re going to be making. They casually drop boasts about their views and success stories, but there’s just no payment tier or fees on their site. You straight up do not know how much you’d be making per click or per view. You could probably look for some leaked data on the internet, but I’m not going to quote numbers like that. If PornHub doesn’t have an official breakdown of their rates, I won’t speculate. You’ll have to contact them and ask for a quote. They have a handy little contact form on the bottom of the program’s page.
As for the payments, again, they don’t tell you when they pay you and what the thresholds are, but they do seem to support wire transfers, Paxum and check payments. I think they used to have PayPal on there, but last year, a big overnight debacle ended this cooperation. Long story short, PayPal did not approve of some of PornHub’s business practices, so they ended their collaboration with them with two days’ notice. A lot of cam-whores were left high and dry.
Bonus: Modelling Program
Most of you people are men trying to start up a porn tube, but let’s pretend for a second that there are women in the audience. PornHub has you covered with a lighter content partnership program that they call the Model Program. It’s similar to the regular package, but focuses specifically on sexy modeling. It’s a lighter version of Playboy with animation thrown in. You can monetize your photo albums and teasing videos with a ton of ad revenue and a 65% profit on video sales. You can also make that money on custom videos that people request from you directly.
There’s also a $50 referral bonus to the program, so I guess webmasters can also get in on the action there. This program also comes with the partners' auto-export, so you can pipe your content to other sites. They even boast a $165,000 value on contest prizes. I don’t think these are random – I believe they are straight-up modeling competitions. They also encourage you to link your socials and develop an active community, so they’re very much hoping you use PornHub to your advantage. Hell, they’ve got an extensive blog with tips and tricks to help you grow your little empire.
PornHub is really bending over backwards to help people succeed in the industry. They might be skimming heavily off the top, but it’s all worth it when you consider you’ve got the most recognizable free porn tube peddling your wares.
