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.
It was April 2020, and thanks to lockdown, a lot of businesses had closed. As a hairdresser and bartender my work had dried up overnight. I had bills to pay and knew I needed to find a new job but it was easier said than done.
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.
