The Unofficial Modelhub / Pornhub Model Program FAQ

I often bother Pornhub's model payment program support staff with random questions not covered in their official FAQ and support page.  As this may be helpful for other members (or potential members) of PH's model program, I compiled my questions and PH support's answers into this Q&A-style post.

Does your optional DMCA protection protect both the Pornhub videos and for-sale Modelhub videos?
Yes, both free and for-sale content is protected.

How can I submit feature requests or site suggestions?  For example, I think the pornstar tagging system shouldn't allow everyone to freely tag.  I keep getting tagged in videos that aren't mine, so I think the tagging system is being abused.
You can submit feature requests and suggestions at the Pornhub feedback forum.

Is it possible to upload to Pornhub via a cloud storage service like Dropbox?  This would save a lot of time as I wouldn't have to upload again from my PC.
We currently do not have this option but are looking to add something similar in the future.

I may someday collaborate with another PH model.  Can we post the same video for sale under our respective Modelhub accounts?  I've seen this done before, but wasn't sure if it was technically allowed.
That's fine.  You can post the same video for sale on your Modelhub accounts.

How may I become featured on Modelhub?  I heard we can reach out to you to become a featured model.
There is no featured section on Modelhub.  Trending models are based on sales.  But if you'd like to be promoted on our Instagram or Twitter, you can DM there!

The number of subscribers on my profile is different depending on if I'm logged in or not.  Is this a site bug?
That's because when you are logged-in your cache updates faster.  So the logged-in subscriber account profile page is more accurate.

Does Modelhub support 4K video uploads?
Yes, you can upload 4k videos into the Modelhub program!

Sometimes models don't have 2 forms of government-issued ID.  Could I provide a copy of the signed model release document in lieu of the 2nd (non-photo) ID?
Yes, you can.

I sometimes lose search ranking on my videos.  Easy-come-easy-go, right?  I understand if you can't reveal details of PH's secret algorithms, but is there a specific reason this happens?
New uploads and featured content are always going to bump other content down so you will not always appear on the first page of results.

Are there any plans to make Modelhub multi-lingual like Pornhub is?
Yes, we will be adding translations to the site.  We are just focusing on functionality first as it's a new platform.

Is it possible to offer streaming-only access to your videos using the "fan club" feature?  I am hoping to offer a monthly subscription fan club that grants streaming-only access to all vids and a discount on all download purchases.
Unfortunately at this time (it may change in the future) all Modelhub/Fan Club purchased videos are available as both stream and download.  You are welcome to upload fan club only videos and then offer a discount on your other Modelhub uploads.

I'm often getting tagged in videos that are not mine.  Can anything be done about this?
This issue is being looked at.  For the time being, contact us to manually remove erroneous tags.

I may produce videos that I don't actually star in.  For example:
- I shoot a solo female video to post & sell on my PH channel.
- I accept content from an industry friend to post & sell on my PH channel.
In both cases I would of course maintain 2257 documentation.  Can I do this under PH's model payment program?
Please apply for the Content Partner Program.  If you don't have a site with an affiliate program, you can apply to Viewshare on the same page.

Does Pornhub issue United States IRS tax documents to performers in the model program (like 1099 or W2)?
As per our terms of service, it is your duty and obligation to fulfill all tax obligations with regard to your activities for us--for example registration, declaration and payment obligations related to income taxes and VAT.  We do not send tax documents.  We cannot advise you on how to declare or file this income.
