In recent years the internet has allowed practically anyone to sell pictures of their feet to customers online. There are a variety of methods for making a profit from these images. This will be very useful for people who want to make some extra money in a relatively easy manner. Before starting out as a foot model, there are several things that they should bear in mind.
Becoming an Independent Content Creator
This has become one of the most popular ways to sell foot pics. The seller signs up for a content creation subscription service such as OnlyFans. They can then set up a page where members of the public pay a fee to view images of their feet. One of the reasons why so many foot models choose this method is that it gives them a more significant amount of freedom and control over their own content. It allows them to cultivate their very own fan base who are willing to pay money for feet pics. However, the main downside is that the content creators will need to independently market the page and spread awareness of their services.
Selling Through Social Media
Alternatively, they could utilize one of the social media apps that already have billions of users (and potential customers.) Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are just a few examples where feet models can sell their pics. It is a good idea to read up on the app policies so that they are not violated. Sometimes a social media app will not allow people to directly sell through them. Instead, the foot model could create a social media profile for the purpose of advertising themselves. Within this profile, they may place an external link, which leads customers to another site where the pics are available to buy. This is a tried and tested method. It also lets models interact with their customers.
Selling Through a Premium Feet Site
If models do not want the hassle of marketing themselves, they have the option of selling their images to a premium site that specializes in feet fetishism. Instafeet and Feet Finder are good examples. This is the better path for people who want to pursue foot modeling on a more professional level. It is perfect for anyone wishing to do it as their primary source of income. However, these kinds of sites have set specific standards. Before being approved, the images will be reviewed. This means setting up a profile may take a week or two. The wait is well worth it, as this is one of the most potentially lucrative methods.
Selling Hardcopy Feet Pics via the Internet
Some people prefer to take hardcopy pictures of their feet. This could be in the form of a Polaroid, developed photo, or glossy print. This is a more niche market, but customers will be willing to pay higher prices for these products. The model can sell them via online stores or auction sites. One of the main issues with this option is that sellers will have to pay for postage costs. Despite this, it will help the foot model to create a more intimate connection between themselves and their clients.
Building an Online Presence
When first starting out as a foot model, the person will be one of many others vying for the attention of the public. It is vital that they develop an online presence. This could be done by making a social media account and sharing free pics. This will help to reel in future customers. A number of models have found fame by uploading videos to apps such as TikTok and YouTube. Podcasting is another viable option. Whichever one the model chooses, they should always remember that the aim of the game is to spread as much awareness of their services as possible. Once the model has attained a client base, they can continue to build their brand by gaining positive reviews.
Paying Taxes on Feet Pic Profits
Since the money made by selling feet pics is considered business income, the model will have to pay tax on it. The exact amount will depend on how much they have made, the country they are paying tax to, and their individual circumstances. For this reason, it is essential to keep a record of the profits made from foot pic sales. The model may also have to register as a self-employed sole trader if these profits reach a certain threshold. Paying this tax is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows that the model is successful enough to be recognized as a legitimate worker.
Investing in Camera Equipment and Software
If people want to create the best looking foot pics, they will have to spend money on a decent camera. Modern smartphones can take awe-inspiring pictures and can be used to easily upload them onto the internet. However, professional feet pics are better taken with a high-end DSLR camera. The images can then be enhanced and tweaked with editing software such as Photoshop. While these might seem too expensive, they will prove to be a worthy investment if utilized effectively. They will help foot models stand out from their competitors. The money spent on this equipment and software will then hopefully be recouped quickly through sales profits.
Conclusion
This information will give novice models the starting off point they need to begin their task of selling feet pics. It is up to the individual to decide which method of sales is most applicable to them. The main pieces of advice to take away are as follows:
- Social media is beneficial for both selling pics and building a brand
- The models with the most fans are the ones who work hardest on developing a recognizable online presence
- The money made from selling feet pics will need to be declared so that tax is paid from it
- It is wise to invest money on pro photography equipment as this will make the feet pics stand out from the rest.
