The Truth About RedTube: Is It Still Worth Promoting Your Content?

Let’s talk about RedTube. It is the third most popular site from MindGeek, behind PornHub and YouPorn. It looks just like those sites in almost every way, but having many websites is not about being different—it is about making people think they have a choice. MindGeek doesn’t tell you that these sites are all linked, even though they work the same. They make money on all these sites with almost the same videos, and many people think they can choose what they like. But they can’t.

If you are someone trying to make money online, this means you should treat RedTube like other MindGeek sites. You should do the same with any free porn tube that gets millions of views. Right now, we are talking about RedTube because I have to cover every site one by one. I want to be thorough, so please keep reading.

Posting Your Own Content

First, how do you make money on a porn site like RedTube? You can’t directly market your content on RedTube. But you can still upload any video you like. It doesn’t even have to be a dirty video. If people want to watch it, RedTube will accept it.

However, RedTube has changed over the last few years. Now, they show more professional videos from studios and cam models. This is like how OnlyFans works. I don’t understand why all the porn sites are copying OnlyFans when MindGeek is already bigger. This change might hurt your chances of making money.

Promoting Your Website

The main reason to use RedTube is to promote your own website. You can upload trailers or full videos with a watermark to bring people to your site. This is not against RedTube’s rules. But if you look at RedTube now, you will see fewer videos with watermarks.

Why is that? Are they hiding them? We don’t know because RedTube won’t tell us. You will need to test this yourself. Sign up for an invoice, upload your tapes, and see what happens.

If you are using the site to promote your own site, you probably don’t care about getting paid by RedTube. You want to post videos. My advice is to upload as many videos as you can while they let you. Then, check how well they work.

Tracking Your Success

To track how well your videos are performing, use a unique RedTube link. Regular links won’t help much. Google Analytics can tell you where people come from, but it won’t provide enough detail. A better approach is to use a special link or a different domain for each video to see which works best.

This is important if you are new to marketing on RedTube. You need to know how it’s working. Many people use bots to post lots of watermarked videos on sites like RedTube, but things change fast. What works now might not work in a few days.

Experiment and Test

Rather than use bots, try things on your own. Test a few videos to see if they send traffic to your site. Compare how many clicks you get with how many people watch your videos. By clicks, I mean when people type your link into the address bar.

Why RedTube, Specifically?

Now let’s talk about what type of videos work best on RedTube. From a marketing point of view, it doesn’t matter much whether you post long videos or trailers. Full videos may get more views but fewer clicks. You can try both to see which one works better.

RedTube has changed a lot. Now, they mostly show two types of content: cam models doing solo shows and mainstream porn videos, like Brazzers-style videos with step-sisters and secretaries. There’s less variety than before, and people seem to like it that way.

The Problem with Unique Content

You might want to post unique videos that people would love, but RedTube’s system mostly shows popular content. Even if your videos are original, they won’t get recommended much. The site focuses on mainstream videos, and tags like “amateur” don’t mean what they should. Regular people, not big companies, make real amateur porn.

Final Thoughts

Using RedTube to market your content is a bad idea unless you are a cam model trying to grow your audience. If you are a guy and you appeal to gay men, that could work too. But for most people, RedTube is not the best way to make money.

Even though RedTube’s content has changed, it still gets millions of views. Maybe I’m out of touch, but the internet is still free. You don’t have to pay to upload videos, so there’s no harm in trying. Just remember to put a watermark on your videos.
