An ex-Royal Navy sailor has told how he brings home £30,000 in a single week flogging pictures of his feet and selling his used socks to customers for up to £1,500 a pair.
Speaking on This Morning, Zak Blackman, 23, pulled back the cover on how his unusual business has allowed him to live in a penthouse apartment and own the sports car of his dreams.
Zak was the first person to ever be dismissed from the Navy for making adult content. Despite his wild side hustle Zak revealed his family and friends support him after they saw just how much he makes from flashing his feet to the masses.
Explaining how he got into the career Zak told This Morning hosts: “I joined the Navy when I was 18 – and I was in for three years… I expected to be there potentially for a career, a lifetime.
“Life just switched… by the end of it, I’d had enough. I started OnlyF*** in the Navy in my last three months and I just thought: ‘This is where [the money] is’.”
Zak explained his new career changed his lifestyle as he was able to become his own boss and gain access to the money and freedom to most dream of.
Zak said: “It was the money and the freedom, and me being my own boss, that I loved, I’d had enough of the Navy by the end, and when I left, things kicked off.
“It showed me a completely different lifestyle, I was going up to Manchester on the weekends, I had group of friends there that had all done the same thing, and I saw the lifestyle, the cars, the money, and I wanted to be like that.”
Zak explained at first his content involved everything however he doubled down on feet after he realised how big the market for feet was.
The 23-year-old said: “At the start my content [involved] everything and I slowly moved onto feet, and I was so shocked it was such a big market. There was a massive market for it. I realised I could sell socks for around a grand each, and I was making so much money just from selling feet pictures.”
After finding out he could earn himself over a grand selling a single pair of socks, Zak decided to turn it into a bizarre new career.
Zack said: “It was a shock, but I thought, ‘OK, this is my new life, this is my new career and let’s see where it takes me’, but I did not think I’d be here two years ago, it’s mad how life can switch, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.”
Revealing the strange requests he gets from customers dying to see his toes, Zak explained: “I’d make custom videos of me just taking off my socks, a 30-second video, and I’d get a few hundred pounds from it. I started off leaving socks around places.” He added: “‘Fans would swarm there – someone told me they left their wife at home to go and collect my sock. It was crazy.”
Despite the X-rated career choice Zak explained his family supported him after finding out just how much money he was bringing in over the months. He said: “A few months went by and I was helping my dad with rent, and I’d like to think that they’re proud of me now.
The ex-sailor added: “Compared to the Navy, my life is just so different – before I was working eight hours on, eight hours off, it was really strict, and now I’m working for myself. I went from being in a room living with eight different lads in an enclosed space, and now I live in a beautiful apartment in Manchester, I have my dream car, life has absolutely switched.”
Zak is to appear on the new series of Olivia Attwood’s ITV documentary Getting Filthy Rich.
Aside from selling flicks of his toes the 23-year-old has also worked alongside the social media mogul and Britain’s Got Talent judge KSI.
