What is the Model Program?

Whether you’re new to content creation or looking for ways to diversify your income, the Model Program is the right tool for you! 

The Model Program is a feature on Pornhub for amateur or professional content creators (18+) who produce video content. It is a digital platform and community for adult content creators to upload videos, monetize content, and network.

What is Pornhub?

Pornhub is an adult tube site that allows studios or Models to upload their content. The website is free to use for viewers and content creators.

  • Videos posted to Pornhub.com are free-to-view for users aged 18+.
  • Pornhub offers Models compensation for their free videos based on video views.
  • Content uploaded via the Model Program is done voluntarily at the discretion of the Model.
  • The Model Program is an amazing marketing tool to grow your brand and be exposed to over 130 million visitors daily.

What the Model Program is not

  • The Model Program is not a production studio or a casting company; we cannot assist you with filming or finding partners to work with.
  • The Model Program is not an employment contract and Models are not employees of Pornhub.

Who can join the Model Program

  • Anyone who is over the age of 18 with a valid government ID may sign up to join the Model Program.
  • Applicants are required to complete a security verification process before they can upload content or be paid. This applies to all Models. There are no exceptions.
  • Not all applicants are accepted; you must pass verification first.

Compensation for Models

Models are compensated with Ad Revenue based on their video’s performance and views.

Payment Options

Payments are made every month, with a minimum of $100 USD. If you don’t make $100 USD by the end of the month, it carries over to the next month.

  • Please note that there is no option to manually request a payment or "cash out.” We process the payments automatically for you. 
  • All payments are processed at the same time monthly – you will not be paid immediately upon reaching $100.
  • Payments received are for the previous month(s).

For example: You sign up for the Model Program in March. In April, you reach $100. You will receive this payment in May. Remember, you cannot be paid in the middle of April for your April earnings because the month is not over.

We offer the following payment methods: Direct Deposit (North America, Europe), Paxum, USDT, Verge, Cosmo or Check via mail. Please Note: Some of these options are restricted by location.
Please make sure you understand how to use the payment method you have chosen.

Model Support

The Model Program has a thorough Help Center with information on everything you need to succeed as a Model. The Help Center has the answers to all your frequently asked questions regarding content, payments, technical issues, video uploads, IDs and performers. We encourage our Models to explore the Help Center or use the search bar to find the answer they're looking for.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? No problem, we’ve got a team of Model Coordinators who can help. You can get in touch with us in the following ways:

Models are encouraged to report any instances of harassment, online bullying, doxxing or any other behavior that makes you feel unsafe or puts a community member at risk. A Model coordinator will see to the situation.

Protecting Your Content: Our Terms of Service do not allow users to upload content that infringes upon intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark. The Pornhub community thrives on new and original content. Publishing content you do not have authorization for is strictly prohibited.

  • Models who opt in to be exclusive with Pornhub benefit from our DMCA services. Should your video be pirated on another website, Pornhub will send a DMCA takedown notice on your behalf. 
  • If a Model finds their video has been uploaded by another user, we can have the video removed. Note: if the account holder is not in the video, they cannot be paid for the views, so no one but you can make money from your content. 
  • Pornhub offers geo blocking, which allows Models to restrict which country(s) and region(s) can view their profile and videos.
