A teenager quit her full-time job after earning more money selling photographs of her feet online.
Jessie Tyron, 18, from Essex, sells the images for at least £3 each, and spends just 30 minutes a day snapping pictures with shoes on, socks on and with bare feet.
This earns her upwards of £1,000 a month, and the former cashier says she is now bringing in far more than she did when going out to work every day.
Jessie said: ‘This is my current main source of income, as it makes really good money. I earn a lot more than I did when I was going out to work.’
The teenager explained that she decided to try out the money-making scheme after hearing her peers joke about the prospect.
She uses social media to find buyers, who are able to request specific footwear.
Jessie said: ‘I always heard people joke about it, so I decided to look into it, and after watching some videos on it, I made a Snapchat and added people who seemed interested in buying feet content.
‘I usually get a message asking if I sell content, then I will ask them what they want and then negotiate what types of pictures they want to see.
‘Whether I’m wearing shoes, socks, or nothing, and then we will discuss payment, once they send the payment, I give them the pictures.’

She explained that her standard price is £3 per picture, but this increases depending on how much effort it was to take the image.
Jessie said: ‘The standard price is £3 for one picture or £8 for a bundle of three – this varies on what the customer wants, depending on the amount of effort it takes me such as putting on heels and socks – the price will then increase.
‘I plan on doing this for as long as people buy it; it makes me extra money and requires minimal effort!
‘Some of my buyers will buy me pedicures and shoes; I’ve been pampered a lot more than I usually would be.
‘It can be quite uncomfortable speaking to some people on my many social media platforms, as sometimes people may ask me to do disturbing and gross stuff, but I happily block them as I have very strict boundaries, selling only my feet.’
