How Do Amateur Porn Creators Make Money From Free Porn?

Plenty of amateur creators make money with free porn. There are tons of ways to monetize that don’t involve free tube sites.

PornHub, XHamster, XVideos, and other free tube sites bring ad revenue and let you advertise pay-to-play links.

It doesn’t take much to build an audience. You can take your pick of shorter 30 second clips or longer 8 minute clips.

Recently, PornHub added the need for at least one 8 minute clip every 6 months to earn ad revenue on their site.

How Much Money Should You Expect When Selling Amateur Porn?

The amount of money that creators make depends on multiple factors. New amateur porn creators shouldn’t expect to make as much as popular creators.

On PornHub for example, less popular video creators only make a few cents per video. With a few dozen videos, I only make $.20 per day. I prioritize funneling traffic to my OnlyFans and LoyalFans over Pornhub views.

A more popular creator makes a few hundred bucks per million views.

The top earners on OnlyFans make tens of millions of dollars. The popular names like Belle Delphine, Jamilez, and Zmeena Orr are some of the top earners.

If you’re a new creator who’s hit top ~25% or higher, you can expect your earnings to be around $300. Because of the brand recognition, it doesn’t take long to hit that spot if your marketing strategy is good.

If you choose to go with premium paysites over tubesites, there are other options.

Clips4Sale, iWantClips, ManyVids, and other clipstores let fans of creators buy their homemade clips. This is an experience for those who:

• want to see more of a particular creator
• have a specific fetish that’s hard to find
• prefer premium, well-made amateur clips over “set the camera up and hit record”
• are worried about consent in the free videos they watch
• want to join a community that embraces their kinks
• enjoy custom-made videos that fulfill a specific fantasy that free porn can’t
• and many other reasons

On top of that, there are subscription sites like OnlyFans, LoyalFans, and Fansly. This is for fans who like an amateur enough to pay a monthly fee to chat, view daily content, and keep up with their favorite pornstar.

Also, niche sites like SextPanther or NiteFlirt exist for phone sex, sexting, sharing nudes, etc.

Because there are so many options, amateur porn creators are welcome to choose their own path. You may prefer one over the other. All of them are lucrative.

I’m on most of these sites, and I have no issue with making money. For me, it’s about creating a kinky experience and welcoming my fans with similar fetishes into my space.

If free porn floats your boat, that’s great! But for those in search of something specific that free can’t satisfy, we adult content creators are always happy to fill in the gaps.
