Over the past decade, the entire porn industry has been under attack by tube sites and piracy. And that trickled down to the performers, who struggled to make ends meet.
The fantastic news is that times are a-changin'. There is a new revolution afoot, with models and budding producers directly marketing their content to fans. Independent producers can now makes tens of thousands of dollars per month! Yes, real money.
Raw Fuck Club, powered by PPVNetworks technology, has taken the next giant leap in fan-based content by building the first network of independently produced content. Fans can now get what they want, the ability to browse and follow as much content as they want.. And independent producers can make much more money. Its a win-win!
✝ Note: Model/Producers produce content and may additionally have traffic and/or social media presence. Affiliates do not produce content but have traffic and/or social media presence.
* 90% membership revenue calculation is based on channel owner driving all traffic using referral links and/or automated Tweets.

Channel owners and models with an RFC account additionally receive an effective 40% total share of site-wide membership revenues based on your pro-rated share of minutes viewed. Effective top-tier 40% revshare based on 4+ models in video. See FAQ for explanation of revshare tiers. Less 3rd party processing fees of 10%.

RFC has again innovated to improve the monetization of content for the Independent Producer and Model community! Our updated payment system automatically equalizes and distributes streaming and download revenues to models. For example, if a video is uploaded featuring 3 models, the revenues will automatically be divvied up and paid to models. In situations where the uploader is providing additional value, he is additionally compensated.
Note: JFF recently added a similar feature, but theirs only applies to downloads, which is a small portion of revenues.
Additionally, rewards are built into the system. Videos with more performers receive additional revenue share, up to 50%. We boost these payouts in an effort to "equalize" expected earnings for all models, regardless of cast size..
Models who appear in videos on RFC and wish to be fairly compensated can register as an Independent Producer and provide basic information and payment details, etc. Managing a channel on RFC is not required to register and receive compensation, although it is encouraged to synergistics benefit the entire community. Populating your channel with information like your Twitter, avatar, photos, stats, etc. can also greatly improve your exposure.

With the exception of Raw Fuck Club original content shown in the "Raw Fuck Club" channel, all videos on the site have been uploaded by independent producers and/or 3rd party studios. All independent producers and studios have digitally signed an agreement for each uploaded video stating that they have permission from the models in the video to post the content on the site. If you dispute this, you should first reach out to the uploader and discuss this with them. They can remove the video. If you need to engage us, feel free to open a ticket. If you would like to demand the removal of your content, report the video using a DMCA takedown request.
Note that all models on the site are indexed for searchability and automatically get a model page. Model pages allow users to follow a model, get notified when new videos are added featuring the model, view all videos featuring the model, etc.
If you would like to make money from videos featuring you, you can create an independent producer account so that we can link the videos with an account that you control. The process is simple and takes only a few minutes. Even if you don't upload videos, you may still be entitled to make money from the videos you are featured in. And of course, with an account, you can upload videos too. RFC automatically shares the revenues with you!

Then click the Make Money link in your account menu, click the Model/Producer option button and follow the instructions to complete your application.

If you have rights to the videos featuring you, you have a right to get paid retroactively for revenues. Contact us when you submit your application. We'll expedite your approval and calculate how much you would have earned. As a signup bonus, we'll reimburse you for these revenues.
RFC allows the independent producers to choose whether or not to share revenues earned from any uploaded video with other models. The default is YES. You can check the status of revenue sharing for any video (that you're in) in the My Videos section. Videos that you are receiving a share from will have a gold "$" next to the title. Videos that were uploaded prior to you creating your channel may not include you. You should contact us and/or the uploaders to update that. However, all future videos where the uploader opts to share revenues will automatically share with you.
No. This creates mess and confusion for users. However, unlike other fan platforms, we allow sharing of revenues for multiple models in the video, for both streaming and downloads. The Model/Producer that uploads the video should leave the default option to Share Revenues with all models, otherwise all revenues will go to the uploader. Models can check their My Videos section to make sure revenues are being properly shared. Duplicate video uploads will be rejected by our content management team. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns about revenue sharing or anything else.
Once you are approved as a Model/Producer, you will have access to a Model/Producer control panel in your RFC account which provides many functions for setting up and configuring your channel, including but not limited to uploading avatars, customizing channel text and graphics, managing videos, configuring payment options, running reports, linking your Twitter account and promotional tools and much more.
Model/Producers get paid through two mechanisms:
Fan Signups
RFC has comprehensive mechanisms to reward Channel operators for attracting users (and compelling them to signup). For every fan (aka member) that you sign up, you earn a 50% revenue share of their initial and recurring memberships fees for the lifetime of their subscription (ie. until they cancel or they are terminated for non-payment).
You get credited for a signup if:
Streaming and Downloads
* Effective top-tier pro-rated 40% streaming revshare based on 4+ models in video (note: total revshare for video is 30-40%, 30% for 1 model up to 40% for 4+ models. Each model/producer receives a distribution of the total. We increase payouts for videos with more revenue-distributable models to additionally compensate/incentivize group scenes and sharing of revenues with all models.) Less 3rd party processing fees of ~10%.
** Effective top-tier pro-rated 90% download revshare based on 4+ models in video (note: total revshare for video is 70-90%, 70% for 1 model up to 90% for 4+ models. Each model/producer receives a distribution of the total. We increase payouts for videos with more revenue-distributable models to additionally compensate/incentivize group scenes and sharing of revenues with all models.) Less 3rd party processing fees of ~10%..User discounts on downloads may apply; ie. a $9.95 download may collect $6.96 from a user with a 30% discount plan.
As an incentive for producers to become part of the RFC Channels family, we are offering up to a $500 signup bonus. If you were referred to RFC from an active producer, that producer would be entitled to a referral bonus, otherwise, if you sought us our yourself with no referral, the producer signing up may be entitled to a bonus.
In order to qualify for the bonus, the following conditions must be met:
1. producer must be approved by RFC Channels
2. producer must upload a minimum of 5 qualifying videos*
3. producer must link their Twitter account
4. producer must provide a custodian of records where 2257 documentation is held and a sample model release form
The bonus amount ranges anywhere from $50 to $500, and is determined by RFC Channels based on many criteria including but not limited to suitability of content for our audience, library of work (quantity of videos), age of library, production quality, technical quality, average runtime of videos, current production throughput (how many videos are you currently making per month) and number of Twitter followers.
After you or the channel you referred has uploaded the first batch of videos (minimum 5), we will do our review.
To be qualified for use on RFC Channels, videos must meet these requirements:
Supported devices include PC's running Windows 10, Macs running MacOS 10.14 or newer, iPhone/iPads running iOS 10.3.4 or newer, and Android devices running Android 10.3.4 or newer. Devices more than 5 years old, even with a supported OS, may have performance issues that can cause poor playback.
Supported browsers include the browser that came with your device, including and additionally, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Firefox. Other browsers may work but aren't supported.
Unlike OF/JFF, this site presents videos from a multitude of producers within a single user experience to a very large and diverse base of customers. We have a content review process and much more metadata, like previews, screenshots, categories, channels, model listings, revenue distribution, etc. Our content managers release your content on a schedule that they determine to maximize the exposure and revenue from your content, while also providing a diverse offering to our customers. The more content you upload, the more frequently your content will be released. Do not wait for videos to go up before uploading more as that will have the opposite effect.
A Referral link is a web URL that Model/Producers and/or Affiliates can post to redirect users to RFC. The Promotion tools provide various links to different places of the site, such as the homepage, a channel page or a particular video; these links are use depending on the context of the referral. Ie. if you're promoting a particular video, you may want to link to the video directly, whereas a generic brand referral would redirect to the homepage. A Model/Producer will likely want to redirect their fans directly to their channel page.
Referral links can be posted to redirect traffic from any HTML-editable source or platform that allows for links. Ie. Twitter automatically accepts URLs as links. Whereas if you run your own website or blog, you can put the URLs in your code. Ie. an A HREF tag. However, most modern systems are much more sophisticated at handling links.
When you are logged into your account, click the yellow or green My Account icon at the top-right of the screen. A menu will appear with account functions and channel functions.
The Channel functions include:
Model/Producers have 4 reports and Affiliates have 2 reports available.
Model/Producers:
Affiliates:
These are common terms in the realm of affiliate marketing. They will be more common to affiliates than Model/Producers, but both should understand them, especially since Model/Producers are now marketers in the age of social media.
Here's a brief description of the terms:
Absolutely, as long as you don't have an exclusivity agreement with an entity, such as a site or model, with respect to a particular video or all videos you produce, that precludes you from working with us. If you're content is a good fit for RFC, we'd love to work with you!
Content managers review all uploads and determine how they are presented to users on RFC. Content is promoted in a variety of different ways, including but not limited to, availability in different areas of the site (homepage, theme channels, seatch, etc), email marketing, email notifications, and twitter notifications (posts, retweets).
15-20 minute videos are likely the optimal balance of exposure and length. The more videos you have, the more likely they are to be clicked..And the longer they are, the more minutes they'll be viewed. Total minutes viewed is the key to earning money!
All purchases made by customers, and payments to affiliates and producers, are in US Dollars ($). Conversion rates by your bank or payment platform may apply.
Login to your RFC account, and click Setup in your My Channel menu. Scroll down to the Visibility section and choose "Offline." Your channel and all of your videos will no longer be available online to users. You will, however, still be able to login to run reports, update payment information, etc. You can, in the future, revert this change.
These are your My Account icons.
The green icon indicates that you are logged into an account with an active (in good standing) paid membership plan. You have full access to site features and video streaming.
The yellow icon indicates that you are logged into an account that doesn't have an active membership plan. This account is free and has limited functionality. In order to access full site features and stream full-length videos, you will need to add a membership plan. Click the My Account icon, then click Membership, then Add Plan.
If the icon at the top right is red, then you aren't logged in. You can peruse the site with limited features and previews only.
Payments can be identified by the description/comment in your payment platform or statement which will read "RFC Channels."
Login to your account and check the Promote page, Twitter Controls, New Releases. There are two options: Only tweet my new releases and Tweet all new releases (including other channels).Choosing the second option will tweet every time a new video is added to the site. The advantage of this is that you generate revenues whenever a fan joins. However, you may not wish to promote other models. Hence you are given the choice. The default is to tweet only your new releases.
Login to your RFC account. You must be an approved independent producer. From the My Channel menu, choose Payment. Complete the questions related to your personal/business status, upload a government ID, contact information, etc. You must also choose a Payment Method and provide the relevant account details.
When you're logged in, click on the profile icon on the top right corner of the page. Under 'MY CHANNEL', click on 'My Videos'. Then, click on the three dot/ellipsis icon on the bottom right corner of the video you would like to remove, and hit 'Delete'.
Both the producer and uploader of video must maintain copies of 2257 documentation including date of production and complete list of models; and for each model in video, model releases (must explicitly or implicitly allow use on RFC Channels and its network of sites) and government IDs showing proof of age. This documentation may be requested by RFC at any time, such as when DMCA/copyrights claims arise or if a compliance audit is ordered, and uploader must provide immediately or content will be removed.
If a message or user is removed for SPAM or other violating behavior, this may happen. We cannot unsend notification emails to you.
Report it to us and we will investigate the behavior. SPAM is rare on our closed platform, but it does happen occasionally.
There are many ways to control volume for, and/or mute, videos. These may function independently so be sure to check them all. Most audio related issues involve one of these:
If you still experience issues with volume on one or more videos, check to see if the problem exists for all videos or just one. Also test to see if you can play sound on other web sites using the same browser tab. Send us a message with a link to the video and the results of these tests and we'll take a look immediately.
