Anne's videos on PornHub

[Anne]

I like crossdressing and bondage, started experimenting many years ago and after a few years I started filming myself. There is footage on my computer I made in 2007, but by then I aeady had years of experience. Before then, I just had no money to spend on camera's or gear, or even decent bondage stuff, the earliest memory that I can put a date on was around 1998 😊 . This might sound familiar, but I started out with what was available, strips of cloth, a few ends of rope, some pieces of clothing I "borrowed" from my sister.... Anyway, once I turned 16 I could get a job working at a local grocery store while being a student, the money I made was spent on swimsuits, leotards, underwear,... I bought on eBay because I didn't dare go into an actual shop to buy these. There wasn't as much e-commerce back then, now there's plenty and I no longer care so I just walk into a Decathlon and buy myself 5 swimsuits from the clearance 😊 My selfbondage skills improved as did my video skills and today I release most of what I film on PornHub. I never had the illusion I could actually make any real money, but PornHub does actually pay out once you reach $100 in earnings. This of course is a drop in the bucket of what I have spent on gear and clothing, but I'd appreciate it if you would go to my model or video page and click around a bit.

if my PH channel would actually make some money

AFAIR, PH wants a click on the link and then a click on another video, or a direct click on another video shown/overlaid on an embedded one. Or do I miss anything?

I have no idea really, I read the FAQ and some of their blog posts but what you are telling me is new to me. What I do know is I got over 950k views and $400 since May 2019.

$400 since May 2019

At least some compensation.

Mmm.... I might confuse it with Xhamster or Xtube, though... Still I wonder, what is actually monetized. Just views? If yes, promoting forum threads via Google can help. Though, Google wants the video to be "the main content of the page", whatever that means. Should videos always be in the first post? Need to check...

Edit:

Video is not the main content of the page

The video is not the main content or primary focus for this page; only videos that are the main content of the page are eligible for indexing. Here are some examples of page types where the video is supplementary to the textual content, and not the primary focus of the page:

A blog post where the video is complementary to the text rather than the primary content of the page
A product details page with a complementary video
A video category page that lists multiple videos of equal prominence

And:

Whether the page is a playback page for a single video (Video is main content on the page), or hosts additional meaningful content or videos (Video is supplementary content on the page).

It's around $500 per million views but I don't know if the length or clicks or whatever plays a role. I could try to game the system a bit but I have posted 84 videos in 3 and a half years so even if I can go from 21 cents per video to 40 cents I'm not going to bother as these take hours to make. Let's say it's something I enjoy doing and once a year they pay me $100 so I can buy me something sexy to wear 😊

Maybe I should start by adding a link to all my videos in my signature....

My videos start to pop up on other sites as well where they often get a lot more views, like easily 10 times more. I think it's because they omit the part where it sais I'm a male crossdressing. Sometimes I make an account just so I can send a request to take them down but that often doesn't work and that's actually PornHub's job, they take 30% or something to "protect my copyright" when I agree to post my videos exclusively to them.

Let's move it to a separate thread. @Anne, if you want to make an introduction to your PH channel, I will make it the first post in this thread. Can you suggest a better name for the thread?

I can try, not sure what I'm supposed to say about it. Maybe a short bio?

Moved to the 1st post! And made the thread "sticky".
