Who buys foot pics?
Wondering what sort of people would actually pay for pictures of feet?
Don’t worry. It’s not nearly as bizarre as you might expect.
Stock photo websites – Foot pics are a hot commodity on stock photo websites, which specialize in images for commercial use. Ever seen those cute photos of a family of feet poking out from under a bedsheet? This is just one example.
Feet lovers – It’s not exactly a secret that some people just love feet. This is taboo, so they’re willing to pay high prices for attractive pictures of feet.
These buyers can be respectful and polite, but I’m not going to sugarcoat it…selling to this crowd is not for the innocent-at-heart. Expect to encounter explicit requests and dirty language.
I’m honestly not a fan of the feet pic industry — especially with so many BETTER ways to earn thousands of dollars per month online — but in this guide, I’m just here to present you with all your options.
Foot model agencies – Have you ever seen toenail varnish designs, pedicure pics, or sandal shoots? Foot model agencies are all over this stuff and are always scouting quality foot images for beauty salons, shoe stores, or to publish in magazines or websites.
In fact, if you’re interested in how to become a freelance model, starting with feet pics is an easy “foot” in the door.
Artists – Feet are common in many types of art. A foot is often used as a symbol, and it’s not unusual to see paintings or sculptures featuring feet. To create it, artists use feet photos as a state of reference.
Publishers – Journalists, book publishers, and newsagents sometimes buy foot pics to help illustrate their story. They may also buy foot pics to store for future articles.
Side note: If you’re really curious about selling feet pics to make money, this girl shares a ton of insider secrets — especially about how to stay safe and not make it weird. It’s worth the watch and full of gold nuggets:
As you can see, making a living selling foot pics isn’t just something you randomly start doing one day. It usually requires building up a large following, which takes a lot of time and effort.
Also, while feet pics seem to be more popular, you can also make some side cash selling hand pics to many of the places listed above.
How much can you make selling feet pics?
As with most modeling and photography, this depends on what clients are willing to pay. If your feet pics are going to high-end magazines or designer websites, expect to make more than if they’re just for a random blog.
How much to charge for feet pictures
Your feet pic rate depends on your feet, your photography skills, and what exactly your client wants. On average, one foot pic can fetch between $5 and $100.
“I charge $30 for custom feet pictures, and videos are $70,” says Creator X, “I also sell old socks for $100 a pair!”
As a beginner with pretty feet, expect to earn $10 to $25 per picture.
But, even at just $10 — if you sell four pics in a day to four clients each, that’s 160 bucks. Do that every day and you’ve got yourself a full-time income.
Creator X explains that if you’re willing to put in the work, it’s possible for any girl to make $5,000 per month. Just don’t expect success overnight. This is especially true if you’re starting from scratch, with no audience to sell to.
“Unless you already have a large following you’re prepared to utilize, you’ll need to grind daily, posting and promoting your content. If you stay consistent, you will see great results over time.”
As an example, this medical student pulls in $6,000 per month selling feet pics to pay her tuition. If she keeps it up, she’ll be well on her way to raking in six figures in money.
Since you’re essentially a freelance photographer, there’s no minimum wage and no restrictions on what you are allowed to charge. You set your own pay grade based on what you think your pics are worth.
Theoretically, it can be one of the easiest freelance jobs for beginners who aren’t foot-shy. But in practice, it’s a lot harder than it looks to find clients consistently.
As a beginner, you may be able to sell a photo here and there. But actually replacing your income with pictures of your feet requires huge (unpaid) front-loaded effort, with no guarantee of success.
This is one reason why I recommend other ways to earn money online, like these easy ways to pull in an extra $50 a day.
How to sell feet pics online (safely)
There’s no hiding that this is a slightly bizarre side hustle.
While many companies legitimately buy foot pics, it’s important to stay safe while selling anything online — especially photos of yourself.
You are almost guaranteed to have to deal with weirdos regularly, like this Youtuber who got a super creepy message that made her re-think what she was doing with her life:
But if you still decide to go for it, here are a few top tips for selling feet pics safely:
Research the buyer. It’s always best to sell to reputable websites, so research is key. Check their history, reviews (if available), and even domain authority or spam score. Be wary of any websites that seem dodgy or spammy, don’t have a lot of information, or people who ask for personal details like credit card information.
Keep records. If you’re going to be selling a lot of foot pictures it’s important to keep detailed financial records. This helps keep track of transactions, eliminates disputes about what has been paid, and helps you stay organized for tax purposes.
Don’t overshare your info. The more personal information you have online, the more vulnerable you make yourself. Don’t share anything too private until you’re 100% sure the buyer is legit. Even then, steer clear of sending anything overly personal.
Watermark your pictures. Sadly, people steal. There are plenty of scumbags on the internet who happily buy your feet pics for a low price, then sell them on for more as if they had photographed them. To avoid this, watermark all your pictures.
Keep your feet anonymous. One of the best parts about selling feet pics is you can do so anonymously. It’s important to keep it this way because you don’t know what the buyer is going to do with your pics after they buy them.
Don’t trust anyone who asks for pictures of body parts other than your feet, especially if it makes you uncomfortable.
How to sell feet pics without getting scammed
The internet is rife with scam artists, and the feet photo industry is no exception.
But don’t worry – there are a few simple steps you can take to avoid getting scammed:
#1.) Do not post personal information about yourself.
#2.) Trust your gut if anything feels off. Report and end communication with anyone who gives you a bad vibe.
#3.) Take payment through secure platforms like PayPal (or Wise, which often has lower fees).
#4.) Create an email account specifically for your foot pic businesses. That way, you don’t have to give out your personal email and can remain completely anonymous
#5.) Read reviews about the platform you’re interested in before signing up. And be careful about what private information you share with the platform itself.
Note that there are other stories of people who created foot videos for “buyers” who donated to their Patreon accounts, only to have those “buyers” take back their donations after downloading the foot video.
These types of dishonest situations can be quite discouraging, but it’s something you may have to deal with in this business.
Many foot pic sellers use social media as their primary source of income. But as with any part of the internet, you need to be careful.
When choosing which social media platforms to use, don’t spread yourself too thin.
Pick one or two platforms and focus all your attention on them. It’s better to have a strong presence on one platform than a weak presence on ten.
Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Concentrate on building a loyal following as opposed to making a quick buck.
Repeat customers make your life easier.
It’s usually smart to create a new account to separate foot stuff from personal stuff.
The main exception is if many of your current followers would be interested in feet pics. In that case, remove compromising personal information from your account.
Here’s exactly how to sell feet pics on social media — grab your notepad!
How to sell feet pics on Instagram
Instagram is a great site for selling foot pics. It’s also arguably THE biggest social platform for visuals and photography (2+ billion users).
Plus, when selling feet pics, the public and private account options come in handy.
Start by creating an entirely new account dedicated to selling foot pics. You can build your audience by following potential foot pic buyers.
Search for ‘feet pics’ in the search bar to bring up other sellers and foot models. Anyone following these accounts could be a potential client.
Include a line in your bio letting people know your images are for sale. Post frequently — once or twice a day — to keep your followers interested, gain new followers, and show off your photography skills.
Selling foot pics on Instagram can literally be as simple as using the right hashtags. Make sure to do your hashtag research and find the balance between popular and overused tags.
Hashtags like #FeetLovers, #BeautifulFeet, #PrettyFeet, and #FeetPicsforSale are a good start.
You can add up to 30 hashtags per post, so try a variety of combinations to see which works for you.
With a business account, you can then use your analytics to measure your impressions and engagement from the hashtags you chose.
When you tag images as Instagram shopping, potential clients can click on your link to access your sales page or website.
How to sell feet pics on Snapchat
Selling foot pics on Snapchat is another popular strategy.
Snapchat has millions of daily users and allows you to post pics and videos that disappear after 24 hours. This can help protect your privacy.
To sell pics on Snapchat, you need to create a premium account. With Snapchat Premium, you can charge people a monthly subscription fee to view your content — usually between $5 and $50.
This limited access gives you even more privacy and allows you to monetize your pictures without actually selling them.
With proper promotion, subscribers could easily lead to sales.
The idea is to create a “Snapchat sales funnel” that leads people from your free account to your pay-for-access subscription account.
As with any social media platform, you need to upload regularly.
It’s best to post to Snapchat on a daily basis, especially since your content disappears after 24-hours.
You also need to make sure you reply to private messages as quickly as possible.
How to sell feet pics on TikTok
TikTok is exploding as a platform and is a great place to promote your feet pics and videos.
Unlike Snapchat, TikToks don’t disappear after 24 hours, so your followers can re-watch them on your feed.
TikTok is one of Creator X’s favorite platforms to drum up business.
“My most successful marketing tactic to date has been TikTok,” she says, “You can’t post or promote adult content, but feet-based content is totally fine as long as you don’t make it sexual.”
To get started on TikTok, download the app, and create an account.
“Posting videos of your toes and using hashtags like #prettytoes will get you tons of eyeballs,” Creator X explains.
You can add an email address, a personal website link (which could be your foot pic sales page), and a profile picture.
If people reach out to you directly after seeing your videos, you can direct them to your sales page.
How to sell feet pics on Facebook
As the biggest social media platform in the world — with over 2.85 billion monthly users — it’s no surprise that you can sell foot pics on Facebook.
With such a large portion of the population hanging out on this platform, all you need to do is find out where the foot lovers hang out.
If you’re not already on Facebook, you can join Facebook.
To make a business page, simply click ‘create page’ and follow the steps. It shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes.
You can then add in relevant info about your feet pics business, like your contact info, website link, and pictures or videos.
You can then share your Facebook business page with potential customers and link it to your Instagram account.
To sell foot pics on Facebook, check out Facebook groups specifically for feet.
Type ‘feet pics’ or ‘sell feet pics’ into the search bar and filter by groups. Some groups have thousands of members (and thousands of potential clients).
You have to stay active to catch people’s eyes, so make sure to post, comment on others’ posts, and engage within the communities.
The going rate for foot pictures on Facebook is similar to Instagram — up to $50 per quality custom shot.
How to sell feet pics on Twitter
Nah she’s gotta be Top 3 https://t.co/ChY8vAf4tu
— Pretty Feet Matters (@trafficbypfm) June 15, 2021
Twitter is essentially the text version of TikTok. Instead of short snappy videos, you post short snappy messages (AKA Tweets).
While it’s less visual than other platforms on this list, it can be a powerful tool to build connections and followers to send to your website.
When setting up your account, make sure to include your sales page link, business email address, and a quick message promoting your foot pic sales.
Tweets have a short lifespan, but if reach the right audience, you can generate a lot of engagement.
You do have to pounce on engagement quickly, though.
If people reply to your Tweets, interact with them as soon as possible to increase the odds of your Tweet going viral.
Twitter is similar to Instagram in that it relies heavily on hashtags. Using the right hashtags can boost your engagement, grow your followers, and drive more traffic to your website.
A few popular feet-related hashtags are #sellfeetpics, #prettyfeet, and #feetpics.
Lastly, be sure to follow other people who are interested in or sell foot pics. Check out who engages with their posts, and you may well find a few more clients.
How to sell feet pics on Reddit
Reddit is a more unusual platform to sell feet pics.
It’s essentially a giant forum where people can ask and answer questions anonymously — questions about anything.
Other members of the community can upvote or downvote your answers based on how helpful they are.
Reddit is broken up into “subreddits” — or mini-forums based on a certain topic or interest. There are several subreddits dedicated to feet, feet lovers, and feet pic sellers.
Despite being one of the highest-trafficked websites on the internet, Creator X found that Reddit didn’t often convert into paid subscribers.
Websites for selling feet pics
Social media isn’t the only place to sell pictures of feet. There are also several websites dedicated specifically to selling feet pics.
These include a few well-known photography websites as well as some more niche sites catering purely to feet.
How to sell feet pics on DollarFeet
As the name implies, DollarFeet is specifically for buying and selling foot pics.
It’s a speedy site — they approve your account within 24 hours. And once you start selling, you receive payments within 24 hours.
The money you earn per pic depends on the attractiveness of your feet and the quality of the pictures.
They recommend using a high-quality smartphone or a professional camera.
You can also sell video clips.
Each video earns you $10, so this is a money-spinner if done right.
If a video is popular, DollarFeet promotes it on its ‘Models Page’. If someone buys it, you can earn up to $50 for one video.
Once signed up, upload your best foot pictures to see if you can land some clients.
There’s no limit to how many photos or videos you can upload, so your returns are limitless.
DollarFeet Reviews
There is minimal review data available online for Dollar Feet, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t work. Just make sure to be cautious.
How to sell feet pics on Zazzle
Zazzle is an interesting place to sell feet pictures because you can add your photos to design different products.
It’s effectively a marketplace for images where you can design, buy, and sell products like balloons, cards, mugs, cards, stickers, and more.
The more creative you can get with a design, the better.
Buyers pay more for an image printed on a card or a coffee cup than if it’s just the image on its own. This can boost the price up from $1 to $20.
To get started on Zazzle, create an online account and hit ‘Create your own’.
From there, you can get imaginative, adding text and color to images. Once finished, hit ‘Sell it’, pick a price, and put it on the marketplace.
Make sure to add relevant tags to your pictures too.
You can add up to ten per photo, but tags like ‘foot fetish’, ‘sexy feet’, or ‘barefoot’ can help more people find your images.
Zazzle Reviews
Zazzle is a credible platform with a 4.5-out-of-5-star Trustpilot rating and nearly 10,000 reviews.
How to sell feet pics on FeetFinder
Feet Finder is a secure website to sell your pics that gives rookie foot photographers a fair chance.
Similar to platforms like Pinterest and Youtube, the secret to Feet Finder is keyword research.
You need to optimize your personal page, images, and all of your other content with tags and keyword-rich descriptions.
If done correctly, your images should pop up when buyers search for foot pics.
There are many benefits to using FeetFinder.
First, it’s one of the most secure platforms to sell your foot pics. All content you post is blurred until someone actually decides to purchase it, protecting you from scams and fraud.
They also ensure all buyers and sellers are ID-verified.
They take a 20% cut of each pic sold, then pay your 80% via their built-in payment processor.
Feet Finder Reviews
FeetFinder has a 4.8-star Trustpilot rating with over 800 reviews. That said, many reviews are from buyers, not sellers. There also seems to be issues with certain international payment methods, so do some research before choosing how to get paid for your feet pics.
How to sell feet pics on Instafeet
Instafeet is a foot-focused photography site and social platform.
Getting started is simple — sign up, create a profile, and set your rates.
Newbies should set their rates lower than more experienced sellers — usually around $10 per picture — but you can gradually work your way up to a healthy income with Instafeet.
Instafeet takes a 10% commission off anything you make, and your cut is paid out twice a month.
To get started on Instafeet, post a few photos so people can see what you’re about.
Once you’re up and running, you can promote your profile boost visibility.
Instafeet Reviews
Several blogs have written positive Instafeet reviews, but it seems like they haven’t actually used the platform itself.
Trustpilot and Reddit do not have good things to say about Instafeet. The most common complaint is that you have to provide sensitive information to create an account.
Many Redditors report filling in their info but never getting their accounts approved. It’s possible that these are fluke experiences, but it’s a good idea to proceed with caution.
How to sell feet pics on Feetify
Feetify is a foot pic website with over 73,000 active members, making it a prime place to make money selling feet pictures.
The website offers a series of amazing tools for potential sellers including:
- Featured pages to sell the exact type of picture you want
- High privacy controls
- Direct integration with PayPal for secure transactions.
Feetify bans users who don’t follow their strict policies, which deters potential scammers.
To set up a Feetify account, head to their website and create a seller’s profile.
You can then add a profile pic, cover image, bio, and start uploading high-quality pictures.
Feetify Reviews
Feetify has a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating with over 130 reviews. On Reddit, nobody seems to have had first-hand experience.
How to sell feet pics on Etsy
Known for cute handmade goods, unique personalized items, and crafty supplies, you probably wouldn’t expect to be able to sell pictures of your feet on Etsy.
Well, surprise! The website has an entire section dedicated to selling foot pics.
In fact, there are over 4,000 listings of feet pics as we speak.
Etsy is also a trusted site. Most people have heard of it, and it has over 96 million active buyers on the platform.
To get started with Etsy, you need to create a seller’s account. Once approved, you can open your personal Etsy store and start uploading your feet pictures.
That said, Etsy does charge a few fees:
- $0.20 fee for each listing
- 5% commission on the final sale price
- 3% plus $0.25 payment processing fee
It seems a bit excessive, but considering 90% of the foot pics on Etsy go for $10 or more, there is still plenty of money to be had.
Don’t forget that Etsy is more than just feet pics. If your foot photography career doesn’t pan out, check out this ultimate list of digital product ideas to sell on Etsy.
Etsy Reviews
Despite being such a popular site, Etsy has a surprisingly low Trustpilot rating — 1.9 stars with over 6,100 ratings. Most ratings seem to be from unhappy buyers, but some sellers also report payment problems.
That said, it’s important to keep in mind that a few thousand bad reviews are a drop in the bucket compared to how many people actually use the platform (almost 100 million). And usually only unhappy customers take the time to leave reviews (the same is true of Amazon’s Trustpilot score of 1.8).
With that in mind, Etsy is still a good option to try.
How to sell feet pics on Craigslist
Okay, let’s not beat around the bush — while Craigslist is a hugely popular classified ads site, it’s also known for scams and dodgy listings.
That said, if you’re careful and follow our safety tips, it can also be a goldmine for selling feet pics.
Creating an account is easy — all you need is an email address. Once your account is activated, you can start posting ads.
Select a picture ad and include the state or country you’re posting to. Craigslist is available in over 70 countries across the globe, it’s best to start locally.
Then, you just have to upload your pics.
Simple, right?
For the best results, be as direct as possible. Once again, it’s all about keywords, so use a simple header and description that includes exactly what you are selling.
You can also proactively search for buyers who post “wanted” ads and pitch them directly.
Lastly, remember to use high-quality images (and watermark them). People want the best, so you may as well hit them with a killer first impression.
How to sell feet pics with a blog
Selling feet pics with a blog can be the most lucrative method on this list, but it’s also the most work to build up.
To start a self-hosted blog, you need to purchase a domain name, hosting, and design the entire site in WordPress (or other platform like Wix).
From there, you need to drive traffic to your blog. This can be done organically by publishing SEO-optimized content. Or it can use paid ads to speed up the process.
Either way, it helps to build a strong social media profile that works together with your blog.
This is a long-term strategy, but if you put in the work, you can sell pics on your blog for more than what you earn on someone else’s website.
There are no fees or commissions to pay (other than those required to run your website), so you get to keep all your earnings. You also don’t have to follow anyone else’s rules.
How to sell feet pics to stock photo sites
Bloggers, publishers, magazines, and other businesses use professional stock photo websites to source images for their companies.
This can be one of the least creepy ways to sell your feet pics. And best of all, some stock photo sites pay you simply for uploading your images.
That said, others only pay you if someone downloads your photo. But since popular stock photo sites are used by millions of people each month, you have pretty good odds.
Plus, you don’t have to waste time searching for buyers. You can just upload your pics and forget about them.
A few top stock photo websites include Pexels, iStockPhoto, Gettyimages, and Pixbay.
Apps to sell feet pics
We’ve covered social media and websites, but we’re not finished yet. There are also plenty of apps where you can sell your feet pics. Let’s take a look at a few.
How to sell feet pics on OnlyFans
Despite its reputation for more explicit content, OnlyFans is also a popular app for selling pics of feet.
The subscription-based app allows you to charge your fans $4.99 (or more) to access your content. As a creator, you keep 80% of your sales. The rest is the price you pay for access to a hungry market.
Creator X is a manager at XFansHub, an OnlyFans search engine, and she first started selling feet pics on OnlyFans.
“It’s something that organically grew from my OnlyFans account,” she explains, “I knew people liked feet, but I had no idea how many men were into it until I started taking requests from my subscribers. Once I realized how big the demand was for foot content, I dove head-first into the community.”
OnlyFans Reviews
OnlyFans is yet another feet pics platform with low Trustpilot reviews (1.5 stars and over 1,900 reviews). It’s a popular platform, so it’s worth looking into. But make sure to do your research first.
How to sell feet pics on Whisper.sh
Whisper.sh allows you to post pictures anonymously and advertise them for money.
To join, create an account with a random nickname, then start sharing images with other users.
People can post comments, like images, and even make confessions (although whether these confessions are real or not is a different story).
It’s kind of like a niched-down version of Instagram, but it also has stock photographs included. That means you can really stand out if you have original content.
Whisper.sh Reviews
There are not many reviews online about Whisper. The only Trustpilot review available says the platform is mostly men trying to sell re-purposed photos of women’s feet. That said, if you have your own feet pics to sell, it’s hard to say if that would really affect you. It’s also only one person’s opinion, so it may still be worth poking around.
How to sell feet pics on Kik
Kik is an instant messaging app mostly used by teens and the younger generation — and youngsters like foot pic too!
To find buyers on Kik, join messaging groups related to feet pics.
You can also attract clients yourself by using appropriate hashtags on your photos.
Anyone interested can message you directly and pay via Paypal.
Best of all, you never have to give out your real phone number.
Kik Reviews
Since Kik is more of a general instant messaging app that you can use to connect you to potential buyers, the reviews really don’t have anything to do with feet pics. The only way to know for sure is to try it out yourself.
How to sell feet pics on Foap
Foap is a stock photo app that (literally) turns pictures into cash.
Over 3 million creators or ‘Foapers’ hang out here including brands, agencies, or just general foot-lovers.
It’s quick and easy to create an online portfolio and start to sell your feet pics.
Be sure to tag your photos with relevant tags to make sure they get found by potential buyers.
Unlike other platforms, Foap pics sell for a fixed rate of $10 each, but Foap takes a steep 50% cut of your earnings. This leaves you with just $5 per photo, which kind of sucks.
But if you post consistently and start selling in volume, it can add up.
To boost your earnings, keep your eyes peeled for Foap missions.
These exclusive challenges give you the chance to work with big brands like Nivea, and if your pic is chosen, you can earn up to $50 for one photo.
Foap Reviews
Foap does not have many Trustpilot ratings. On Reddit, photographers complain that the platform has become saturated with women trying to sell suggestive photos — similar to OnlyFans. But if you poke around the platform, you see that this is not the case. It’s actually more of an informal stock photo website targeting brands, making it one of the least creepy platforms on the list.
How to sell feet pics on Tinder
The popular swipe-if-you-like app is for more than just dating.
If getting a swipe for your feet pics appeals to you, you can easily set up an account and start ‘matching’ with potential foot-lovers.
As with most social platforms, consistency is key to Tinder. If you post quality foot pictures daily, then sooner or later, you’ll start getting matches and messages.
Be sure to add a caption to your images stating your pics are for sale and what your fee is. This sets you apart from the dating crowd and lets potential buyers know your pictures are available to buy.
How to sell toe pics
Selling toe pics is not that different from selling foot pics.
You can use the same websites and toe pics sell for a similar price.
The main difference is you usually need to be barefoot or wearing open-toed sandals to sell toe pics.
Toe pics also tend to be closer up. This means you need to take even better care of your feet — keeping your nails clean, trimmed, and regularly pedicured.
Where to sell feet pics in America
There are several places to sell foot pics in America, and it’s easiest to do online.
Stock photo websites, online beauty magazines, and agencies all take quality foot pics. Here are a few places to start:
- Shutterstock
- Crestock
- Alamy
- Dreamstime
- Shotzr
- eBay
Sites like FeetFinder, Instafeet, and Etsy are also American-based websites.
Apart from that, any social media platform is fair game.
Where to sell feet pics in Europe
In Europe, there is an equally large market for foot pics. You can sell your photos on:
- Zazzle
- iStockPhoto
- Pexels
- Pixabay
Most of the apps and websites listed above also work in Europe.
How much to charge for feet pics
How much you can charge for foot pics depends on your experience and photo quality.
Rates vary dramatically – some sell for $1 while others can fetch $100 or more.
How much people are willing to pay depends on the client’s particular needs and how they plan on using your photos.
Is it going to a teenager on Kik? Or a big brand like Nivea?
Keep in mind, the cool thing about selling feet pictures is you can sell one pic to several different clients.
So even if you are only selling them for $5 a pop, if you sell one picture to ten clients, that’s 50 bucks.
That said, many clients will ask for custom images and tell you exactly what they want.
You can also hike up your prices for different brands. As you sell more, gain experience, and improve your quality, your rates naturally rise.
That said, your earnings depend on more than just your rates.
Your choice of platform and payment provider can also influence your income. A few of the most popular payment providers are:
- PayPal – PayPal is well-known and simple to set up, but they also charge high fees if receiving money internationally.
- Wise – Formerly Transferwise, this remittance service allows you to easily send and receive cash from around the world. In many countries, it’s the cheapest way to get paid.
- Venmo – Owned by Paypal, Venmo is another way to send and receive money via an app. However, both parties have to reside in the U.S.
- Bank Transfer – Depending on who you’re selling to, you could receive payment via a simple bank transfer. Be sure to check your bank’s fees before using this method though, as some charge an arm and a leg for international transactions.
Pro tips for selling feet pics
If you’re sold on selling feet pics, here are a few handy tips to maximize your odds of success.
Take care of your feet
This might be a given, but making sure your feet are in tip-top condition is essential to finding buyers online.
Moisturize, regularly remove any dead skin, and keep your nails trimmed. Nobody is going to buy pics of crusty feet!
Consider going to a foot spa once a month to keep your feet professionally pedicured and in great shape.
On top of this, adopt a daily foot care routine. Once you get into the habit of caring for your feet, it becomes second nature.
For a bit of extra sparkle, you could even decorate your feet for pictures with toe rings or anklets.
Take a photography course
To sell successfully, having pretty feet is only half the battle. The other half is knowing how to photograph them properly.
In fact, some would argue that you can make anything look good if you know the right camera techniques.
To take better foot pics, consider enrolling in a photography course.
It doesn’t matter what gear you’re using for the pictures — there are plenty of courses available for both smartphone and DSLR photographers. Consider this a business investment.

Besides the camera itself, also consider your lighting and background.
Natural lighting works wonders for photography, but you can also create this artificially with lighting equipment.
As for the backdrop, greenery such as grass or flowers, or even just a clean white bed sheet looks great.
You could even use a focus to blur the background so the focus is entirely on your feet, then use editing presets to boost the natural colors.
Learn how to take good feet pics to sell
As with all types of modeling, learning a few killer poses will put you a step above the competition, especially as a beginner.
Foot poses are easier than full-body poses since you only have to focus on one body part — your feet.
The easiest way to learn poses is simply to look at what other foot models do.
Test poses with or without footwear, with different socks, or barefoot.
Try a few out and see what works best for you, but don’t be afraid to get creative either and try something a little different.
Take your security seriously
Foot pics should be anonymous and it’s important to make sure you’re not being scammed or taken advantage of online.
Don’t share your name or other personal information, don’t feel obliged to share other body parts if you don’t want to, and remember to watermark your preview pics to ensure people can’t pinch your images.
Sharing personal information can put you in legitimate danger, as it’s not unrealistic to accumulate stalkers in this line of business.
Lastly, make sure your payment methods are secure and that you always receive the funds before sending anything final to a buyer. And if possible, choose a platform where the buyer can’t simply reverse their transaction after they get your pics.
Pros and cons of selling feet pics
While earning money selling foot pics is convenient, it’s definitely not for everyone.
Here are some pros and cons to help you decide if it’s right for you.
Pros
✅ Earn from anywhere with a cell phone and an internet connection.
✅ Do it as a side hustle or make it a full-time income.
✅ Make money with minimal training (although training helps).
✅ Anonymity makes things less creepy.
✅ This side hustle can teach you transferable skills for other online businesses.
Cons
❌ It could feel weird imagining what people might be using your pics for.
❌ Some platforms are full of creepos.
❌ Potential for scams and danger if you don’t carefully protect your personal info.
❌ It takes work and self-promotion to grow.
❌ Might not be a job you’re proud to share with your grandma (or on a resume). You may wake up one day and think, “Is dealing with vulgar foot-crazed men every day really what I want to be doing with my life?”
Before diving headfirst down this path, I recommend at least checking out all your other options for making money online — most of which are more fulfilling.
Selling foot pics FAQs
Selling feet pictures is completely legal. It is no different than selling pictures of your hands or face. The only legal issue you need to worry about is making sure to report and pay any taxes you owe on your earnings.
Many apps gives you instant access to huge markets of foot pic buyers. Some of the most popular foot pics apps are Whisper, Foap, Kik, Tinder, and OnlyFans. There are also many feet pic sites like DollarFeet, FeetFinder, Instafeet, and Feetify.
You must include income made selling feet pics when filing your taxes. The amount you actually owe depends on how much your adjusted gross income. This is technically considered a self-employed business, so you may be responsible for self-employment taxes as well.
Start by choosing a platform, taking some quality pics of your feet, and posting them. The easiest place to start are foot pic marketplaces full of people searching for pics. You can also start growing and selling on social media accounts.
Your payment method depends on the platform you use. Many platforms use Paypal or have a payment system built in to the platform. For direct sales, you can use Paypal, Venmo, Wise, or direct bank transfers. Be careful who you share your information with.
Mitch is your typical nomadic backpacker. Or at least, he was. But after stopping in Colombia to take “one week” of salsa lessons, his life took a sharp left turn. He met a cute Colombian girl in dance class, fell in love, and got married. Over half a decade has passed since he left his career to travel the world as a digital nomad, and he’s never looked back.
Nowadays, he’s the blogger behind Project Untethered — where he runs an awesome email newsletter and Youtube channel teaching adventure-craved wanderlusters how to escape the rat race, earn money from anywhere, and build an “untethered life”.
His advice has been featured in Forbes, USA Today, Yahoo, MSN, Reader’s Digest, Condé Nast Traveler, and more.
