Julia Grandi, founder of JulModels and a producer and director for Vixen Media Group, launched JulRoyalty on August 22, 2026. This new revenue-share tool aims to help performers monetize fan traffic and generate additional income from previously released scenes and clips.

Introducing JulRoyalty

JulRoyalty connects fans directly to existing content featuring participating performers across supported paysites and platforms. Performers can share personalized links with their audiences, earning royalties from individual content sales and user subscriptions generated through these links. This system differs from traditional affiliate traffic by leveraging the existing connection between performers and their audiences, turning direct fan interest into a transparent and trackable revenue source.

The concept for JulRoyalty emerged from Grandi’s 20 years of experience in the adult industry, working with talent and content. As the founder of JulModels and an AVN Award-winning producer/director for VMG, she recognized that a performer’s value extends beyond the completion of production. Performers consistently engage with fans, build their personal brands, and direct audiences to their work, but often lack a convenient method to monetize the fan traffic they generate.

JulRoyalty addresses this need by providing performers with a dedicated dashboard. Through this dashboard, participants can locate previously released scenes and clips featuring them, create personalized links, monitor performance across supported sites, and manage their earnings in a single location. For paysites, JulRoyalty offers an additional channel for organic traffic and sales. The tool assists partners in attracting audiences through direct performer recommendations, bringing renewed attention to existing content catalogs, and fostering closer relationships with the talent featured in their content.

Grandi stated that this model creates value for all involved. Fans gain a more direct path to scenes featuring their favorite performers, paysites receive additional targeted traffic and sales, and performers gain an opportunity to continue earning from their work long after its initial release. With the launch of JulRoyalty, Grandi noted that her team continues to expand its ecosystem of tools for performers. The project's mission is to establish fan traffic as an independent and transparent monetization channel that creates long-term value for performers, paysites, and the wider industry. The JulRoyalty slogan, "Create Today. Earn Forever," captures this long-term approach. More information is available at JulRoyalty.com.
