Unfortunately, it looks possible that Instafeet is a scam. Online reviews from recent users question the legitimacy of the site and suggest problems getting verified followed by suspicious activity on their credit accounts.
Here are some screenshots of reviews and online forum posts from Instafeet users. Looking at these, we’d have to suggest extreme caution when using this website.
Selling Feet Pics On Social Media
Another popular method to sell feet pics is by using social media platforms. This allows you to engage and connect directly with your customer base and means you can avoid paying commission and transaction fees like you do with buy/sell websites. The downside is that you don’t reach the already established audience, but the good news is that you can build your own super targeted audience of people interested in buying specifically from you.
How to sell feet pictures on Instagram
As it’s such a visual platform, Instagram can be a great way of building an audience interested in buying feet pics online. In fact, one lady was able to make over $70,000 a year selling feet pictures via Instagram!
Jessica Gould, from Ontario became a foot model after seeing an advert online. She now uses Instagram, and has grown her account to over 10 thousand followers. She posts 4 photos with hashtags a day to make her money.
You can see how popular it is just by having a quick look at some feet related hashtags on Instagram:
#feet has 16,765,203 posts
#feetpics has 1,551,640 posts
So the demand is there if you know how to tap into it!
Tips for growing an Instagram account to sell feet pics
1. Optimize your bio
You want to reach the right people so it’s important your bio is clear on who you are and what you’re offering. Make sure to include a clear description of what your account is about, but include some personality as people will be more drawn to that.
You are also able to include a link here, so if you have your own website or page you could link to that or perhaps your selling profile on another feet pic selling site.
Include a call to action as well – what do you want people to do? Message you for info? Visit your site? Let them know.
2. Be consistent
Consitency is key when it comes to growing followers on Instagram so make sure to post consistently. If you can, posting daily is best, especially in the beginning stages of growing your account.
3. Mix it up
Instagram offers a variety of ways in which to share your content, so don’t be afraid to experiment and try out each option. You can post single pictures (posts), Reels (videos) stories (temporary videos/photos that last 24 hours) and carousel posts (a group of up to 10 photos or videos in one post). Different people will engage more with different mediums, so you’ll have more chance of connecting with a larger number of people. Plus, over time you’ll be able to establish which type of content gets you the most engagement, helping you know where to focus your efforts more heavily.
4. Write engaging captions
Yes, your photos need to be good quality, but writing good captions can make all the difference. Try and be engaging and interesting and give context to your photos. You can mix it up here too – try short and sweet as well as some longer and more thoughtful musings. Make sure to use keywords here too as these can help you appear when people search for specific terms.
5. Don’t forget hashtags!
Hastags are so important on Instagram. These allow people to find and connect with posts and accounts relevant to them. Using good hashtags will help you to reach a much wider audience. You can use up to 30 hashtags per post, although you don’t need to use them all. People can search for and follow their favourite hashtags so it’s a vital way of being able to get your account found.
Search for the popular hashtags surround feet and try out some of those, use hugely popular ones and also some smaller more niche ones to help. For example: #feetpics, #feetstagram, #feetlove, #feetselfie, #prettyfeet, to name just a few!
6. Finally, engage with others
Instagram is all about engagement, and the better your engagement the better Instagram will treat you. Find and follow other accounts, like their posts, write them comments. Engage back with the people that engage with your own posts, reply to comments. Start conversations and create opportunities for engagement by asking questions and using polls. Be engaged.
Using Twitter to sell feet pics
Twitter is also a social media platform you can use to help grow an audience for selling feet pics. Similarly to Instagram, finding and using relevant hashtags. Again, good engagement will help your account to grow and broaden your potential audience.
One successful foot pic seller, Camilla, suggests building accounts on Twitter and Instagram purely for feet, using hashtags is a good way to get yourself out there. Her advice is to ‘promote yourself as much as possible through social media.’
Selling feet pics on OnlyFans
OnlyFans is yet another place people are cashing in on making money with feet pics. 28 year old medical student ‘Sweet Arches’ from Oregan makes $6000 a month. She started on Instagram, but soon realised she could monetise her content further using Only Fans, and was able to triple her monthly salary as a surgical assistant.
She does warn though that to make that kind of income she has to work hard and spend a lot of time on her content.
OnlyFans works on a subscription basis, so buyers would subscribe on a monthly basis for access to your content. It has a minimum subscription cost set at $4.99 and a max of $49.99, within which you can set your own price. You can also earn extra via tips and providing pay per view content.
You’ll receive 80% of your earnings with OnlyFans taking a 20% cut.
Selling feet pics on Reddit
Reddit is yet another platform you can use to sell feet pics. With the subreddit r/feetpics having over 240k members you can see it’s a pretty hot topic!
Whilst you can’t explicitly advertise sales of feet pics on reddit, it’s implicitly understood that’s what’s happening.
To sell feet pics on reddit you need to add good quality (not blurry) photos within that community to market yourself. To make it clear that you’re looking to sell you need to add ‘comments and DMs/PMs welcome’.
Becoming a foot model/parts model
An additional potential way to earn money selling photographs or videos of your feet is by becoming a foot model.
A foot model is someone who makes an income specifically using their feet. If you feel like you don’t have the typical ‘model figure’, but you do think you have appealing feet, you could still get into modelling this way. Your feet can be used for advertising campaigns that require close up photos or videos.
There are lots of brands that look for foot models, including shoe or sandal brands, jewellery companies, beauty and skincare brands and lots more.
Whilst it may not be possible to find full time work as a foot model, individual shoots can be quite lucrative. Hand modelling jobs are more abundant, so it’s worth adding additional body parts to your CV to attract more work.
Sell feet pics to stock photo sites
If you think about it, you see hundreds of news stories, magazine articles, online posts and most of these are usually accompanied by images. Not all of those images will have been taken specifically for each article, in fact, a lot will have been purchased or licensed from stock photograph websites.
This gives another option to consider when selling feet pics – why not try selling them to stock photo sites? While it may not be as lucrative as selling to people with a foot fetish, it’s still a legitimate way to make money from your photos.
Popular stock photo sites to try include Pexels, Pixabay, ShutterStock and Canva.
Another photo selling app you could try is Foap – a place where creators can use to sell their photography. It’s a massive community to showcase your photos on and turn your pictures and videos into money.
All you have to do is upload your photos and videos and if a brand, agency or anyone else wants to purchase them Foap split the profit with you 50/50.
Marketing strategies for selling your feet pics
Build a strong brand identity: Develop a unique brand identity that sets you apart from other sellers. This could include a catchy username, a compelling bio that highlights your personality and niche, and a cohesive aesthetic for your photos.
Create high-quality content: Try and produce high-quality, visually appealing feet pics. Use professional photography techniques, experiment with different angles and compositions, and edit your photos to enhance their appeal.
Use social media: Leverage social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to reach potential buyers and build a following. Regularly post engaging content related to feet pics, including behind-the-scenes glimpses, sneak peeks of new content, and customer testimonials.
Engage with your audience: Grow a sense of community and engagement by interacting with your followers regularly. Respond to comments, answer questions, and participate in conversations. Encourage feedback and suggestions from your audience to improve your content and offerings.
Collaborate with others: Partner with influencers or content creators in related niches to expand your reach and attract new customers.
Offer special promotions and discounts: Generate excitement and incentivize purchases by offering special promotions, discounts, or exclusive deals to your followers. This could include limited-time sales, bundle offers, or loyalty rewards for repeat customers.
Optimize your content for search: Use relevant keywords, hashtags, and tags to optimize your content for searchability and discoverability. Research popular search terms and trends related to feet pics and incorporate them strategically into your posts and captions.
Network with other sellers: Build relationships with other feet pic sellers and creators within the community. Collaborate on joint projects, share tips and advice, and cross-promote each other’s content to reach a wider audience and generate mutual support.
Things to consider before selling feet pics
Before you start selling feet pics it’s worth making sure you’ve considered a few things.
Know your boundaries – whilst it is a legitimate way to make extra money, you will undoubtably receive some weird and interesting requests. That’s just the nature of the business. Don’t ever feel pressured to agree to any requests you’re not completely comfortable with.
Decide what you’re happy with – will you show your face in your photos? Will you do videos or just photos. How can you stay anonymous or maintain your privacy?
Do thorough research – look carefully at the terms and conditions when signing up to selling sites. Check the rights to your images – who will own them and for what purposes?
How to sell feet pics without getting scammed
Unfortunately, as is the case with many online ventures, there are scammers out there looking to take advantage of people. There are a few steps you can take to avoid getting scammed while selling your feet pictures.
Make sure you receive payment before sending photos. With selling sites such as FeetFinder, this is done automatically by blurring your photos before sale, but when selling privately you can use watermarks to protect your photos and delay sending until you’ve been paid.
Be aware of common scams – these include being asked to send them small amounts of money first to ‘make sure you’re a real person’, being asked to buy gift cards to transfer money or being asked to form a sugar baby/daddy relationship. These are most likely trying to con you.
