What to ask a creator before you send a request

Your first request

Open her card or her page and tap Request. Your request lands straight in her inbox and runs for 12 hours. Three short parts are enough.

1. What you want. "A 30 second clip of your soles, slow and close, in natural light."
2. What her page leaves open, in one or two details. A polish colour you'd like, an angle, a shot she does not show yet.
3. Your budget. A realistic figure. If her page names a minimum, such as "Custom clips from $80", a lower budget gets a warning before you send.

Short and polite works best. A long life story, a list of rules or six notes fired off in a row only slow things down. If you would rather hear from several creators, post your request under Requests and every creator can answer it.

What to read before you write

Everything you need sits on her page. Go through it before you send anything.

1. Her clips and photos. They show her style, her light and the shots she likes to make.
2. Shoe size, foot shape and arch. Under her feet details. Ask her if a detail is missing.
3. Her specialties. The kinds of clips and photos she makes. A request outside them may get a polite no.
4. Her minimum price, if she set one.
5. Her ratings. They come from fans who have been in touch with her. Read the words, not only the stars.

Requests that end things early

• Rushing her. "Reply now", "final offer", or the same words sent over and over in the same hour.
• Explicit content she never asked for. It is reported as "Harassment or abuse", the reason meant for unwanted explicit content.
• Asking to switch apps. Trying to take the conversation or the payment off the site has a report reason of its own, "Wants to move off feetpics.com". Staying here protects both of you.
• Asking her to prove herself with an extra photo. Her teaser is what she chooses to show, and her face is never needed.
• Personal questions. On feetpics.com her nickname is all you need.

No reply yet

Silence does not mean no. Not every creator answers every request, and nobody owes you her time. Your request runs for 12 hours. Still nothing? Try a creator with a similar style, or post your request under Requests for every creator to see. Never send one creator the same request twice.

When you have agreed

She answers with an offer in your inbox: her price, a short note and a teaser of one clip or 5 to 10 photos. Accept it, and your order card shows her payment methods, such as PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, a bank transfer or crypto. Pay her the agreed amount with one of them and tap I've paid. feetpics.com is not part of a direct payment and cannot take it back, so read the safety guide before you pay anyone you don't know.

Card details never go into anything you write, and gift cards are never a way to pay. Once she sees the money, she taps Payment received, sends your files to your inbox and taps Delivered. Save each file on your device as soon as it arrives. Then you can rate your order. If the files don't match what you agreed, tell her in your inbox first; most mix-ups are solved in a minute.
