A survey released by fetish site FunWithFeet revealed that models with square feet were earning up to $45,000, while those with Greek feet, where the second toe is longer than the rest, could earn about $43,000.
That’s right — the key to financial freedom could be a few clicks of the camera away, earning you up to $45,000 a year, as long as you have the right toe type, Melissa Cook, a sex therapist, told Jam Press.
In this anything-goes era, anyone can wiggle their tootsies and bring in a bit of cash — but if you are fortunate enough to possess peasant, Roman or Greek-style trotters, you’re passing up the opportunity to earn some serious dough, Cook said.
“Foot fetishes are one of the most common fetishessd,” she continued. “The rare ‘peasant’ foot type takes the lead when it comes to earnings — this is when the three largest toes are equal in size.”
Roman feet, where the first three toes are of equal length, can also command a pretty penny, mostly because there aren’t a lot of models showing that type off — yet.
Warning, however — making bank in this game is about more than just pimping out your little piggies, Clark said.
“If you want to be successful, there are lots of things to consider, but mainly, you need to think about the quality of your images and understand your audience,” she explained.
It’s more than taking just a quick snap, it’s a process. Try to get creative and think about incorporating props, taking multiple images, learning to edit, play with different lighting and filters and practice multiple poses.
Creating unique and high-quality content is more likely to sell.
Red toenail polish is favored among the majority.
A model’s personality can have a big impact on the overall experience as well as whether an individual will return and buy pictures again.
With users displaying a preference, those with clean and nail-polished pictures are 75% more popular, with 96% of people saying they find hairy feet unattractive. Despite this, common tootsie shapes can still see £21,000 a year on average, particularly if you let your personality show.
