How I make 6 figures on OnlyFans selling feet pics
"No free feet" has become a meme online, but for some creators, it's actually true. Of Clips4Sale's top 10 fetishes that defined the last 20 years, the humble foot fetish topped the list. It's popular, which means it's profitable.
Naomi Noel is a foot creator, stripper, and porn performer. On OnlyFans, her foot content literally pays off. She makes around six figures a year on the platform, and for one month in 2025, made over $12,000 (she shared a screenshot of her earnings with Mashable to verify).
Mashable interviewed Noel about her content and her (money-making) toes.
The power of niching down
Noel was a stripper for six years before COVID struck. At the height of the pandemic, clubs closed, so she started an OnlyFans account doing nude and solo content. She found a foot creator (she can't recall who now, and she's since retired) who she taught Noel how to post on Instagram for an audience that loves feet.
"There's a large niche for that online," Noel told Mashable. "People who are looking it up, their algorithms really pick up anything to do with feet." While she does different types of adult content, feet content brings in a lot of income because it's so niche, she said.
Now, she produces a variety of content on different fan sites, like LoyalFans and the phone sex site SextPanther, and she also films porn for studios. She also has different social media sites and uses them in different ways. On X, she posts more explicit clips from her porn. On Instagram, she posts feet.
"Honestly, the only way I will get any views on my Instagram is if I post my feet," she said. She also has multiple Instagram accounts for different purposes, like accounts for feet, stripping, and sex worker rights. She's very careful about what she posts to Instagram because of its content rules — "You can't really post too much ass cheek" on Instagram, she said — but feet are different.
Over the years, adult performers, LGBTQ content creators, and others have told Mashable they're shadowbanned from Instagram, meaning they're unsearchable and not shown to non-followers and sometimes even followers. But because feet aren't always perceived as sexual, Noel is able to post them.
"Shadowbanning is a big deal," Noel said. "But with feet, it's actually a little bit easier because feet are not banned."
What does an adult foot creator post?
Through her experience, Noel has found out that different customers want different things. When she strips in Miami, the "girl next door" look — natural hair color, not a lot of tattoos — makes her more money.
"I dance with 50 to 100 girls in a night," she said, but online, there are thousands, if not millions, of creators. "You have to stand out. And I feel like the best way is to niche." And feet are a big niche.
Noel herself doesn't find women's feet attractive, but she understands the domination aspect of the fetish. She met a male creator who doms in his videos, and his submissive women worship his feet.
"When I started seeing it from my own perspective, as a sub, I was like, 'OK, now I get it,'" she told Mashable.
When she does foot content, she does so from a dom perspective because that's what customers want. "They want to worship the ground you walk on, in a way," she said. "That's the real psychological part of it."
She'll oil her feet and ask men to pay for her pedicures — then she'll send out videos to whoever tipped her, and she'll get the style they ask for, like French tips. Other custom requests she receives are saying a customer's name, or giving them jerk-off instructions (or JOI — Clips4Sale's #9 of 10 top ten fetishes of the last decade).
All in all, even if you don't share a fetish, you can appreciate it — or financially benefit from it.
"I have girlfriends who censor their toes, like they would censor [their] nipples…because some people really get off to that," she said, "and you don't want to give it out for free."
