Pricing is one of the hardest parts of starting out. Price too high and visitors may scroll past a new profile with no sales history; price too low and you end up working hard for very little while signalling that your content is not worth much. The good news is that on Feetify you set your own prices, so you can start sensibly, learn from what happens and adjust as you go.
This guide explains the principles behind pricing, how to think about singles, photo sets, videos and custom requests, how bundles and tiers work, and exactly how commission affects what you take home. Any prices used below are hypothetical round numbers chosen to make the arithmetic easy to follow. They are not a statement of what content typically sells for.
Pricing Principles Every Beginner Should Know
Start Reasonable, Not Rock-Bottom
When you have no reviews or sales history, a modest starting price lowers the barrier for a buyer to take a chance on you. Modest does not mean giving your work away. Think about how long a set takes you to prepare, shoot, edit and upload, and make sure the price respects that effort.
Test, Measure and Adjust
Treat your first few weeks as an experiment. Try different prices on different types of content, note what sells and what does not, and look for patterns. Change one thing at a time, whether that is the price, the number of photos in a set or the theme, so you can tell what actually made the difference.
Raise Prices as Demand Grows
When a type of content sells reliably, buyers come back for more, or you receive more custom requests than you can comfortably handle, that is a signal your prices can go up. Real demand is the best evidence you have.
Pricing Photo Sets, Singles, Videos and Custom Requests
Feetify lets you sell several types of content, and each suits a slightly different pricing approach.
Single Photos
Singles are a low-commitment way for a new buyer to try your style. They are usually your lowest-priced items and work well as an entry point to the rest of your profile.
Photo Sets
A set groups several photos around one theme. Because it takes more effort and offers more value, a set is normally priced higher than a single but lower per photo than buying each image individually. That per-photo saving is what makes sets attractive to buyers.
Videos
Short videos take longer to plan, film and edit than photos, and many buyers value them highly. It is common to price a video above a photo set, taking its length and production effort into account.
Custom Requests
Custom requests are made to a buyer's specific brief, such as a particular nail colour, a type of footwear or a setting. Because they are personalised, take dedicated time and are made for one person, customs are usually priced the highest of everything you offer. Decide your boundaries in advance, only accept requests you are comfortable with, and agree the price before you start any work. Keep the whole conversation inside Feetify's chat so there is a clear record of what was agreed.
Using Bundles and Tiers to Increase Order Value
Bundles combine several items into one purchase at a slight discount, for example a photo set plus a short video. They raise the value of each order and give buyers a reason to spend a little more in one go.
A simple tiered menu also makes it easier for buyers to choose:
- Entry tier: singles or small sets for first-time buyers.
- Standard tier: your core themed photo sets.
- Higher tier: videos and bundles that combine sets with video.
- Custom tier: personalised requests, each priced individually.
Tips can add to your income when buyers appreciate your work, but treat them as a welcome bonus rather than something to rely on.
How Commission Affects Your Take-Home Pay
Feetify is free to join with no card needed, and free sellers keep 80% of each sale, with the remaining 20% going to the platform as commission. The optional Premium membership is a one-time $49 payment that removes commission entirely, so Premium sellers keep 100% of their sales. Premium also adds priority visibility and eligibility for monthly cash awards, which come from a pool ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 each month across active creators. The earnings page has more detail on how earning on Feetify works.
Example Take-Home Calculation
The table below simply applies the 80% and 100% rates to example sale amounts. These figures are illustrative arithmetic only, not typical or recommended prices.
| Example sale amount | Free account (keep 80%) | Premium (keep 100%) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $8 | $10 | $2 |
| $25 | $20 | $25 | $5 |
| $50 | $40 | $50 | $10 |
| $100 | $80 | $100 | $20 |
| $245 (total sales) | $196 | $245 | $49 |
When Premium Pays for Itself
Because free sellers pay 20% commission, the $49 Premium fee equals the commission on $245 of sales: 20% of $245 is $49. Once your total sales pass $245, Premium has paid for itself, and every sale after that leaves you with more than a free account would. If you are only testing the waters, a free account costs nothing up front. If you plan to sell regularly, it is worth running this calculation against your own realistic expectations, remembering that sales are never guaranteed.
Buyers pay through trusted methods such as PayPal, and Premium members can also use a cryptocurrency option for added privacy.
Why You Should Not Underprice Your Work
It is tempting to undercut everyone in the hope of quick sales. In practice, very low prices often backfire:
- They can make your content look rushed or low quality.
- They attract buyers hunting for the cheapest deal rather than people who value your style.
- They make it harder to raise prices later without losing buyers.
- They leave little room for bundle discounts or occasional promotions.
Good photos take time. If you have put real work into lighting, backgrounds and editing, as covered in our guide on how to take feet pics that sell, price with confidence.
How and When to Raise Your Prices
- Introduce higher prices on new content first, leaving older items as they are for a while.
- Raise prices in small steps rather than one big jump.
- Reward loyal buyers with a bundle or small discount on bigger orders, rather than keeping everything cheap for everyone.
- Review your prices every month or two, looking at what sells and how many custom requests you receive.
Some buyers may drift away when prices rise, and that is normal. The aim is a sustainable balance between how often you sell and how much each sale is worth to you.
Avoiding Off-Platform Deals
Sooner or later, someone may offer you a better price if you move the conversation to another app or take payment directly. Turn it down. Leaving the platform means giving up the identity and age verification that applies to Feetify buyers, losing the record of what was agreed, and often exposing personal accounts. Offers like this are also a common opening for scams, such as overpaying and asking for a refund, asking you to pay a fee first, or offering gift cards.
Keeping chat and payments on Feetify protects both your earnings and your privacy. Our anonymous selling checklist and the safety page explain the warning signs in more detail.
Final Thoughts on Pricing
There is no perfect price on day one. Start at a level that respects your effort, use singles, sets, videos and customs to give buyers a clear range, and adjust based on real demand rather than guesswork. Run the commission numbers for yourself to decide whether a free account or Premium makes more sense for you. The FAQ answers other common questions, and when you are ready you can create your free Feetify account and set your first prices.
Earnings are never guaranteed and vary by creator. Example prices are for illustration only. Feetify is strictly 18+.
