How much do pics sell for? How to price your photos, sets and customs

There is no fixed price. You set your own, and what a buyer will pay depends on what you sell, how much of it is made for them, and whether they already know you. Sellers who earn more say customs, tips and paid chats bring in far more than single photos, so that is where your highest prices belong.

Platform terms checked on FeetFinder’s own Terms of Service on 25 Oct 2026. What we say about pricing comes from sellers describing their own accounts on Reddit, not from any platform. We don’t publish price lists: prices change, and copying someone else’s list is how new sellers end up underpriced.

What moves the price

  • Single photos, sets and subscriptions. A single photo is the cheapest thing you can list. A set bundles several related photos for one price, so it should cost less per photo than buying them one by one. A subscription gives ongoing access for a monthly fee. Some sellers switch subscriptions off because a new subscriber can reach a whole back catalogue for one month’s price.
  • Customs. Anything made to a buyer’s request is worth more than something already in your gallery: it takes your time, and nobody else gets it.
  • Exclusivity. A photo sold to one buyer only is worth more than one any buyer can buy. Only promise it if you will keep the promise.
  • Turnaround. A rush custom can cost you an evening, so it should cost the buyer more.
  • Tips. Much of what established sellers earn comes as tips on top of a sale, from buyers who come back.
  • A following. Sellers who bring their own buyers from Reddit, X or Instagram can charge more than sellers waiting to be found in a crowded marketplace.
  • The platform’s cut. On FeetFinder the fee is 10% of each sale on Basic and 0% on Premium, and the plan is charged separately. New earnings sit in a 30-day review period before you can withdraw them. More on FeetFinder’s costs in Is FeetFinder legit?

How to set your own prices

  • Look at the market you sell in. Search your platform for sellers who post the same kind of content at the same quality, and note what they list singles, sets and customs at. Compare what each buyer gets, not the price alone: a set of many photos and a single photo are not the same offer.
  • Work out what you keep. Take off the platform’s fee and your plan. If you want a set amount in your pocket, raise the listing price to cover the cut.
  • Price in steps. Single photos at the bottom, sets in the middle, customs at the top. Price same-sized sets the same; buyers notice when two similar albums cost different amounts.
  • Post a menu. A short, clear menu on your profile saves the haggling. Ranges work well for customs, since you can only quote one once you know what it involves.
  • Raise prices once sales are steady. Sellers describe raising prices after a few weeks of regular sales without losing their repeat buyers. Change one thing at a time so you know what made the difference.

How to price customs

  • Get the full details first: what, how many, how long, and by when.
  • Quote for your time, any props or materials, and the rush if there is one.
  • Take payment before you make anything. For a large order, sellers ask for a deposit up front and the rest before delivery.
  • Say what is not included, such as extra revisions or requests outside your limits.

Never discount for a time-waster

Most time-wasters open by arguing about price. The patterns sellers describe most often (the rest are in how to sell without getting scammed):

  • The “going rate”. A buyer tells you what other sellers charge, always less than you do. Sellers who hold their price say many of these buyers pay it anyway.
  • The bulk deal. A pile of photos for a fraction of your price, sweetened with a promise to buy every day. The daily orders rarely come.
  • “Send one first.” A free sample to prove you’re real, then silence.
  • Haggling with no purchase. A long chat about the cheapest item, and no sale at the end.

Cutting your price for these buyers rarely wins a sale and trains them to ask again. Cheap listings also draw more chargebacks. If you want to reward someone, reward a buyer who has already paid. Before you reply to a new buyer, you can check their username against what other sellers have reported.

What sells best

  • Customs and chats over albums. Sellers who earn more say most of it comes from customs, tips and paid chats with buyers who return.
  • Consistency. Posting on a regular schedule keeps you in front of buyers. Sellers who upload a few albums and wait describe few sales.
  • Quality. Good light, a clean background and light editing hold a higher price than quick snaps.
  • A clear niche. Sellers say sales picked up once they settled on a style or theme that buyers could find them for.

Is selling pics worth it?

It can be, if:

  • you can post consistently and take clean photos;
  • you will build a following on social media instead of waiting to be found;
  • you are fine messaging buyers yourself, and saying no to the ones who won’t pay.

It is a poor fit if you want quick money from a few uploads. Most new sellers describe slow first weeks, and the complaint repeated most often is too many sellers chasing too few buyers. Platform plans, the cut and the time spent on messages all come out of what you earn. For what FeetFinder sellers say they make, see Is FeetFinder legit?
