Staring at my bank balance on the cashpoint screen, I sighed with worry. I was down to my last few pounds and, like a lot of other people, I had no idea when I would make money again.

Later that night, I confided in a friend about my money worries.
‘You should do what I do, and make money from your feet,’ she said.
I couldn’t help but laugh, thinking she must be joking. But she explained she’d recently joined a foot fetish website and took pictures of her feet to sell. She told me she could make a few hundred pounds from just one photo. I was stunned and had never heard of such a thing. But as I looked down at my tanned size 5s, with carefully painted toenails, I began to wonder if perhaps my feet could be moneymakers too.
