I’m a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like “plz no, stop” if they get too near to him.
I’m now wondering if there’s a market on the other end of the scale…
I used to know a dude that would have gotten hard at your written description here. No bullshit. Dude was obsessed with feet, and what he called “real feet” were his particular favorite. Feet that had seen some life, had been used was one of the few things he would talk about. Literally obsessive about feet.
I guarantee he is not the only one. The only question is if there’s enough like that to make any useful money out of a feet only business.
There’s something about foot fetishists that’s extra obsessive compared to any other fetishists I’ve run across over the years.
I wonder how onlyfans pay model works. If they take a percentage and you don’t need to put any initial funds down to start then you’ll basically have nothing to lose.
There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income
He’d probably have empathy pains for any future subscribers.
Some years ago, an artist who was not a mega-star but was on all the major music services published an article detailing how well each one paid. I’m now kicking myself for not bookmarking it. I clearly remember Spotify being among the worst, if not the worst.
Snoop Dogg said he got 45k for a billion streams.
The musician I saw last week mentioned that he’ll get more money if you buy a CD from him now than if you stream his catalog on spotify for the rest of your life.
I don’t remember the artist’s name. I’m pretty sure the article was a text post, probably a blog. Not a youtube video.
Fractions of a penny.
Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.
The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.
Owned by Sony
Sony, Universal, and Warner. The three parasitic conglomerates that own the rights to almost all popular music between them.
You know what, you’ve convinced. Your specific suggestion of ‘guillotine’ was particularly compelling.
Holy shit. I have feet. Does anyone want pictures of a guy’s feet? They’re big and weirdly shaped.
I wear a men’s 14. Basically the DD’s of feet. My wife says I’m not allowed to show them off for free so get our your wallets folks.
I’m a big feet man and damn is it annoying when I go to a rollerskating or ice skating rink and the largest size they rent is 13 :(
You feel my pain. Literally! Last time I had to cram my feet into size 13 ice skates it sucked some of the fun out of it.
What’s up fellow size 14s!
I often joke that I’m the person happiest that malls have died off because as a kid I was always forced to go there and try on a a bunch of 12s and 13s that never fit.
These days I’m still upset that so many good looking shoes only go up to 13
I’ve got a toe shaped like an alien. Maybe that’s worth something!
Me too, the one next to my big toe… On both feet.
I a small bag of nickels. Tell you what, I’ll even throw in a rubber ducky.
I’m positive there is an audience for men’s feet, but if you aren’t 5 stars on wikifeet, you’ll probably have to market yourself. Study the foot fetish community to find out what the dude foot fan needs more of. Etc.
Is there any way I can do this without finding out any more about this fetish?
Hmmm…the problem is, even if you just post pictures at random, you’re going to find out unwanted info based on what pics bring in money. Sounds like you’d need a manager!
You can even call me a foot doctor, because I help rappers with defeat.
I think the estimated by billboard is fucked up but yeah the article seems completely broken
What’s fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it’s like an ad and now she’ll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.
Am I missing something? Does it not say she makes an estimated $4000 per DAY from Spotify and $8000 per MONTH from onlyfans?
Allen’s daily stream count on Spotify as of Oct. 17 was about 851,623. Assuming that number is correct, the Music Streaming Royalty Calculator estimates Spotify would’ve paid a total of $4,077 a day, with $3,239 going to sound recording for the copyright owner; $336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter; and $503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).
Which of these numbers goes to her? I’m just confused, I think.
Everybody likes to hate Spotify but if they pay out 4000 dollars a day and the artist gets nothing, that doesn’t sound like Spotify is the main problem.
If those are the numbers I don’t see why people are complaining about Spotify, the problem doesn’t seem to be there
An unknown and probably pitiful fraction of $336, by the looks of it.
$336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter
Ok I did a little searching. She might get some of the $336 to the publisher/songwriter, but only if she is credited as a writer. Not every song is written by the artist. There doesn’t seem to be anything in that breakdown that goes to the artist specifically. The bulk of the money is going to the copyright owner, who is often the record company, and seems to be who owns her songs. It seems like whatever she gets paid would be up to whatever contract she signed with them.
This pdf file explains that a typical major label artist might make 18% of the $4077 per day.

If she makes $266 a day from onlyfans, she has to be making around 8% of the $3,239 the record company is getting daily for it to be less than onlyfans.
$503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).
Performance rights organisations would pay her for performing. She’s get a fraction of that.
She’d owe a dollar at the end of each day. Which means she would lose money being on Spotify.
The article is missing the content from the quoted article for the 4,000 a day. It pays out 4,000 a day to the studios and publishers, whatever actually % of that she gets is probably less than 10.

That’s what the article says. So sounds like Lily is full of it.
It’s worth noting that Allen doesn’t actually claim she earns more money from OnlyFans than Spotify. “imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
According to the singer, the decision has already paid off, as her monthly revenue from the subscription site has surpassed her Spotify income.
Seems like she claims monthly revenue from OG surpassed Spotify revenue.
Joe Rogan took all of Spotify’s money?
