Foap

Foap is a popular app that allows amateur and professional photographers to sell their photos to brands and agencies. You don't need a DSLR; high-quality smartphone photos sell well too. Brands like Nivea, Volvo, and Heineken have used Foap to crowdsource authentic imagery for their campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much do I get paid per photo?

The standard price for a photo on the Foap market is $10. Foap takes a 50% commission, so you earn $5 for every sale. The same photo can be sold an unlimited number of times.

2. What are 'Missions'?

Missions are photo contests run by specific brands (e.g., 'Take a photo of a summer BBQ'). These pay much better—prizes often range from $100 to $500 for the winning photo.

3. Do I keep the copyright?

Yes, you remain the owner of the photo. You are just granting the buyer a license to use it.

4. What kind of photos sell best?

Authentic, natural-looking photos of people and everyday life sell better than staged, artistic shots. Photos with good lighting and clear subjects are essential.

5. How do I get paid?

Foap pays exclusively via PayPal. You can request a payout once you have accumulated earnings.
