Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for adults. In most countries selling feet pics is legal as long as you are 18 or over, or the legal age of adulthood where you live if that is higher, the photos are of your own feet, and you follow local law. Feet photos count as digital content that belongs to you. Footley verifies age on every account without exception.

Creating a Footley account and listing your feet pics costs nothing upfront. You only ever pay a share when you actually earn, so there is no monthly charge sitting on your account during a quiet month. That matters more than most people realise when you are just starting out.

A smartphone with a decent camera, a bright window or a soft lamp, a plain background and a bank account that accepts transfers. You also need to be at least 18 and able to pass the age and identity check. There is no equipment list beyond that, and most successful galleries are shot entirely on a phone.

The account itself takes a minute or two. Verification usually adds a little more time, depending on how quickly your documents are reviewed. Most creators have a username, a short bio and their first few photos uploaded in under ten minutes.

Yes. Male creators sell on Footley and buyer demand for men's feet is real, even though hardly anyone talks about it. The requirements are identical, which is being over 18 and verifying your account. Far fewer men are competing, so new male sellers often get found much faster.

No. Buyers are already browsing on the platform, so a new gallery can be found without any outside audience. Social media can help later if you want extra traffic, but it is optional and you can stay completely anonymous without it.

It varies more than most people expect. Single photos usually sell for a few dollars, sets bring in noticeably more, and custom orders earn the most by a wide margin. What you make comes down to how often you upload, how you price, and how well you keep regular buyers coming back. Anyone promising a fixed monthly figure is guessing.

Buyers pay the platform first. Your share lands in your wallet balance after each sale, tip or subscription payment, and you withdraw it to your own bank account whenever you choose. You never share bank details with a buyer.

Start with one low priced entry set so new buyers can try your content without much risk, then price single photos at a few dollars and larger sets and custom requests higher. Raise your rates as your gallery fills and repeat buyers appear. Our earnings page has a calculator you can use to plan prices.

Usually, yes. Custom orders carry the highest prices because the buyer gets something made just for them. Decide in advance what you will and will not shoot, write it in your bio, and only start work once the order is paid through the platform.

In most countries money from selling content counts as income and may need to be declared. Rules differ from place to place, so keep a simple record of what you earn and check with a local tax adviser if you are unsure.

No, and most creators never do. You can sell entirely under a username with your face out of frame. It also helps to crop out tattoos, jewellery and anything in the background that places you, and to keep watermarks on free previews so images cannot be lifted and reposted.

Never send anything before the money clears, never move a conversation onto a private payment app, and never share details that identify you. Almost every scam story starts the moment a buyer talks a seller into leaving the platform. On Footley the buyer is verified and has already paid before a single file leaves your gallery.

No. Buyers only ever see the username you choose. Your legal name is used for verification and payouts behind the scenes and is not shown on your public profile.

Free previews are watermarked, which makes stolen images easier to trace and less useful to whoever took them. If you find your content posted elsewhere you can report it and request a takedown. Keep your original files, since they help prove ownership.

Anyone who asks you to move to another app, offers to pay by gift card, sends a screenshot of a payment instead of paying, asks for personal details, or pushes for something before paying is a red flag. Keep every conversation and every payment on the platform.

Clean and well lit beats expensive equipment every time. Sole shots, high arches, fresh pedicures and themed sets sell steadily. Bundles outperform single images because buyers feel they are getting more for their money. Custom orders earn the most of all, so say plainly in your bio that you accept them.

Aim for around ten. A gallery with one or two images gives a buyer nothing to browse, while ten gives them enough to recognise your style and come back for more.

Yes. Short clips sit alongside photos in your gallery and are often priced higher. Keep them simple, steady and well lit, and avoid anything in frame that could identify where you are.

Only post content of your own feet, never anyone else, and follow the platform rules and your local law. Content involving anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and is reported to the authorities.
