Need Money? Get Naked!
By Denise Trowbridge, September 8th, 2008 | 216 Comments »
A friend of mine recently told me her money secret. She has a modest job, yet always has the latest gadgets: flat screen TVs, home theater system, the works. She also recently had new carpet put in her basement and bought an air-hockey table for her rec room.
I finally asked her how on earth she was paying for all of this. I thought I was going to get the standard answer, that it was all part of an ever-growing credit card balance. I wasn’t even close, and I was even more floored by the real answer.
When she needs extra money, to either pay off debt, fix her house, or buy the things she wants, she sells naked photos of herself on the Internet. If she’s feeling extra frisky, she sells her underwear, too. She’s been doing it for five years, unbeknownst to her friends and her employer. Her haul? About $6,000 a year, or an average of $500 a month.
Wow. It never even occurred to me that earning money that way was possible, unless you worked in a strip club or were a “professional” porn star.
The professional adult entertainment industry generated $12.5 billion in revenue in 2005, according to one trade group. But apparently there are entire Web sites filled with average-looking real women who are making plenty of money in the Internet adult industry, that aren’t included in that total.
The barriers to entry are so low, almost anyone can do it. All you need is a cheap digital camera and some basic photo editing software, and you’re in business.
My friend stumbled on this several years ago, after she was laid off from a relatively high-paying job. Unemployment checks weren’t covering the bills, it was taking longer than she expected to find a job that paid enough, and she needed a way to make ends meet.
She had long been selling random items on eBay. When she sold a pair of her old high-heeled shoes there, the buyer told her about an adults-only auction site where she could sell her girlie cast offs, like shoes, dresses, etc., as well as naughty photos and videos for a lot more than she was bringing in on eBay.
She tried it out and the money was so good, she became one of the thousands of ordinary people hosting adult auctions online and turning a tidy profit. She just posts a few Playboy centerfold-like photos two or three times a week, she says, and the money rolls in.
“It was an easy way to make money at home in my pajamas,” she said. “And it turns out, I made a lot of friends online.”
She enjoyed it so much that when she got a new job, she didn’t quit.
She insists that what she does isn’t shady. There is no prostitution and she isn’t sitting at home producing amateur hard-core pornographic movies. The only contact she has with her customers is online, either through the auction site or a separate email account she has just for running her “side business.”
After a little research, I discovered that auctions are only one of many ways folks are making money online in their birthday suits. Some sites pay up front for nude photos, and then post them in their members-only areas. One site I stumbled across pays (ahem) extremely well-endowed women a minimum of $200 for topless photos. Another very popular site features artsy nude photos of young hipster women with tattoos and pays at least $200 a session. That kind of money isn’t to be taken lightly, especially if you are in a pinch and aren’t shy about baring all for strangers.
Obviously, earning money this way isn’t for everyone. But I will say you don’t have to be a supermodel to do it. My friend is pretty, but not gorgeous, average build — but dare I say, a little bit pudgy — in her late 30s, and she is doing quite well.
If nudity doesn’t conflict with your beliefs or your relationships, making money on Internet adult sites could be a significant money maker that can pay as much or better than a part-time job. (and without the unpleasant bosses and scheduling conflicts that can come with moonlighting). If it’s something you wouldn’t mind doing, it could definitely get you a lot closer to your financial goals, whether it’s paying off debt, paying for school, or putting money in your savings account.

There is so much free porn on the internet I often wonder why anyone would pay to look at nude pictures.
I have no problem with people making an honest living and certainly selling nude pix of themselves is not illegal.
One must remember that you cannot stay anonymous on the internet, it is as public a place as you can get, and yes, the internet is forever.
I got the impression from the title that the woman was saving money by being a nudist at home and saving money on doing laundry, lol.
To all those who need their nude picture taken, I have my camera ready with fresh batteries
.
Hi, I am interested in posting my nude photos online, please can somebody send me more info.
Thanks,
Hayley
can someone please send me more info on how to post my nude pics?? i cant figure it out..
how do i send in pictures of me naked, like where do i do it 2
yeah id be interested in doing this as well. have for a little bit now but i have no earthly idea where to begin/ and to those of u who frown on this, god made us all naked. we were never supposed to wear clothes. and ill be damned if one of u makes me feel bad about being comfortable with my nudity.
im a single mom and need to make money.
You guys all sound crazy. Yes, a womans body is beautiful…is it meant to be sold? No. Come on people. You are what the Bible has prophesied. Do we judge people who do that? No, we pray for them. Do we teach it? No, teachers of sin will be in bigger trouble because you have helped deliver more people to bad. Does that mean its ok? Absolutely not. Please tell me that at least deep down us woman collectively know this is not right!
Oh and your all right, we shouldnt judge you, but if someone wouldn’t of put there business in the streets, there would be no one to comment for one, for two, your judging us for protecting the moral of what we believe in. Our children and friends children will be on the internet. Do your rights to practice immoral sexual activities, overwrite or rights to defend the moral we believe in? Personally, if my child were to run into this page I would feel good that there were woman and menwhose wisdom steered my daughter in the right direction instead of her selling her body to the almighty dollar.
im interested in doing this. i have a great body and i need money
What is up with not posting the sites that you can sell these pictures on? I found this looking for a place to sell nude pictures on Google.
Please just post them!
pls send me the site
this is actually the first time i’ve commented on this, but i really think that a lot of you people are being overtly judgemental and holier than thou…get off your high horses for the love of god…this woman has found a method that helps her make some extra money in a safe and legal way…and i doubt she’s using her real name so its unlikely that they’ll come back to haunt her…would you rather she sold drugs, racked up huge debts or went hungry? this is a site for money saving, and this is an effective way of doing that, maybe if some of you were more open minded you wouldnt need to keep coming on here and insult people, and its ridiculous to slam the author for writing this, its advice, not orders…just ignore it if its not up your street…sorry for the rant…
can men do this i would like to sell some erotic pics of myself would you please send me info on the how to,s
I’m a student, who’s seriously broke, draining her parents funds and has a course thats too demanding for me to hold down a proper job. This would be pretty ideal for me, just to pay my mother back or help out with the bills. If it’s anonymous and the person doing it doesn’t mind, whats the big deal? I’d be fine with my parents and close friends knowing what I was doing (hell, my mother even suggested I do topless modelling once), I know they won’t go telling the parish. So, does anyone know what sites these are? In particular the one that gives a minimum of $200 for well endowed women… I always knew my breasts would help me get through life.
mmm im so down to sell my nude an other how do u start ???? tell me more
How do I get signed up?

Nothing wrong with this article, but there is definitely something wrong with the people ranting about god. take your religious beliefs and shove off. Please stop littering blogs with religious trash.
Pls email the sites that buy nude photos.
My wife is a knockout blonde. We need the $’s.
I’m interested in this. What are some good websites for this. Please email them to me
Look some of you say this isn’t right and I understand. I am a college student who lost her mom when I was 13 and my dad is laid off. I have been doing this for a while it is putting me through school (along with scholarships and grants) is paying the bills and giving my family food on the table. If you think that is so wrong why not give the people who are doing this money so they don’t have to do it anymore….that’s what I thought. I still work a full time job with this and it has been God’s gift to bestow a body that people like to look at.
Can you send me some legit websites been researching this for awhile.
SOMEONE POST THESE SITES! i used to do this but since then the sites have been closed, now i have a 3 month old son and id rather make money at home doing this then go swing around a pole showing off my cesarean scar lol! any one who knows any sites for selling pics/vids please reply

I have looked for jobs everywhere…i really need this…i dont have any way to live without it..please list a site…thanks
What is the name of this site to sell my photos?
Everyone,if you want to sell your nude pictures go to the adult section of ebay! You can list there as long as what you include in your selling descritpion complies with ebay policies.
I need to make some serious money. I’m thinking about nude pictures no face shots any tips ideas.
so many people are asking for details of websites etc to do this but nobody has given any site info… can you please give us all details of how and where to go for this?
thanks!
I would really like to know what the sites are??
I am interested in the website too, can you please email it to me?
where can i find these sites could you you send me some thamx
To the people saying that it will affect these women in the long run, think about that. If these ladies are smart, they’ll create aliases, emails separate from their work emails, facebooks, etc, so that employers can’t find what they post on the internet (unless the employer buys her photos for his own enjoyment
). Also, a lot of ladies conceal their face with sunglasses, wear wigs, etc. To each their own…your negative opinions toward it is not going to change their minds. As they say, if you don’t like it, why are you here reading it, or looking it up?
I am also interested in these auctions sites. Where can I find them?
umm everyone talks about what if some teacher or employer sees them online ……i say hey if they are looking at that stuff then they shouldn’t pass judgment she may post it but they r surfing online for it …….
a woman can’t get respect in 2011 getting naked……………….but a few try. So sad what society is making women do for money.
I am interested in the website too, can you please email it to me?
I am interested in the website too, can you email it to me?
