We’ve all heard the porn star success story about how one person quit their boring job and struck wealth overnight, racking up thousands, and sometimes millions, a month.

But when we’re talking about that kind of money, it’s usually the professionals who climb to the top of the Pornhub rankings.

For regular folk who want to dip their foot in to the adult film industry, however, how much can you expect to make right away?

How much can you earn from Pornhub?

Amateur pornstar Vee Snow has previously lifted the lid on how much you can potentially earn from Pornhub specifically.

“I figure if you’re asking how much you can make on Pornhub or Only Fans, then you are probably trying to find out if this kind of business is for you,” the adult content creator told Filthy in 2021.

To get involved, first of all, you need to sign up to their ‘Amateur Model Program’ where you can ‘upload your content to start making money today’.

“All you need to do is create a free account and apply to join the Model Program,” the adult streaming website explained.

“Once you’ve successfully joined the Model Program, you can begin uploading content and making money through your free-to-view videos.

“You’ll earn a substantial cut of the ad revenue generated by your videos. The rate you get paid depends on the performance of your video (views + ratings).”

When it came to how much she’d made on Pornhub that day, she admitted: “I have been directly paid $2,559 as of this writing. That’s for four years, over 200 videos, and almost 2.5 million views.”

“Some models report that their first video made them $1k in a few months,” the film star added, nothing that the ones that make real money are the ones who go viral.

Pornhub says ‘the average RPM (rate per mile, or $ per 1000 views) is $0.69’ (of course it’s that number).

“It doesn’t sound like a lot at all, and honestly it really isn’t compared to what Pornhub is making from advertisers,” Snow said.

“However, between that and Only Fans, some occasional live-cam session on Chatterbot or My Free Cams, and sale of personal items and videos plus custom content on Many vids, I am managing about $18k a year for my 15-20 hours per week ‘hobby’.”

Earlier this week, Pornhub dropped their year-in-year review for 2024 and the results are astounding.
