• Create Business Accounts Make sure to set up business accounts on all social media platforms.
• Protect Your Privacy Create an anonymous or business email address for communicating with customers. And don’t show your face in any of the photos. Also, never give out any personal information to anyone buying your pictures.
• Set up a Payment Account In order to get paid, you’ll need to set up a payment account with Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal. Your payment account should be in your business name and attached to your business email address. Since PayPal is the most recognized, it’s probably the better option.
• Get Your Money First Make sure your payment is in your PayPal or another payment account before releasing any pictures to a customer.
• Watermark Your Images Protect your preview photos from being stolen by adding a watermark to them. 
• Take Care of Your Feet You can’t make money selling pictures of your feet if you don’t take good care of them. So get regular pedicures and take good care of your feet.
• Don’t Accept Gift Cards If a customer wants to pay with a gift card, don’t accept it. Chances are, the gift card is no good. Only accept payments to your payment account.
• Stick With Your Prices  Decide how much each photo or set of photos will cost and stick to it. Never negotiate your prices and do not accept overpayments.

How Much Money Can I Make Selling My Feet Pictures?

When it comes to selling feet pics, you are the boss. You get to set the price that buyers are willing to pay. So there isn’t really a certain amount of money for feet pictures per se. However, there is potential in making a decent income. 

You can charge anywhere from $1 to $50 per picture and sometimes even higher on social media sites. 

The price tag might be a little more expensive on sites and apps specifically designed for foot pictures. For example, feet pictures can range from $10 to $100 per picture, depending on the platform. If you’re just starting out as a feet pic seller, then it is probably best that you start off with lower prices until you’ve gained some experience. 

On stock image sites like Alamy and iStockPhoto, you get paid per download. How much money you make per download will depend on several things such as the niche market for your feet pics, the format (JPG or PNG), whether you’re part of an agency, etc. So, if iStock allows you to upload high-resolution JPG at $0.50 per image download and the picture is downloaded twice a day for a month, that’s a total of $30.

To successfully market your feet photos for money, it’s a good idea to diversify your channels.

Now that you know how much you can potentially earn from selling feet pictures, the next step is to find out where you can sell them online. Keep in mind that there are multiple places where people buy and download feet pictures, so you’ll have to come up with different types of photos for each.
