After someone complemented her on the 'beauty' of her feet, Roxy Sykes, 33, realised that she could break her way into the unusual industry.
在听到别人赞美她的脚后，33岁的罗克西·赛克斯意识到自己可以打破常规，开辟一个新行业。
The property-investor decided to set up an Instagram page to see how true the interest in her feet was, and after reaching over 10,000 followers in a month decided to listen to her 'fans'.
这位不动产投资者决定在Instagram上设立账户，来看看人们对她的脚到底有多感兴趣。在短短的一个月她的粉丝就已过万，随后她决定顺应“粉丝”的需求。
Roxy, from London, then started selling shoes and socks on her social media accounts for 20 pounds per pair of socks, and 200 pounds for shoes.
随后，来自伦敦罗克西就开始利用社交媒体销售鞋子和袜子，每双袜子20英镑，鞋子200英镑。
Having been in the business for four years now, Roxy claims she can earn up to 8,000 pounds in a busy month.

Roxy said: 'After being told by a colleague that I had beautiful feet, I was convinced to set up a social media account to show them off.'
罗克西表示：“自从同事告诉我说我的脚很漂亮后，我就决定在社交媒体上晒晒自己的脚。”
'But it wasn't until I started getting thousands of followers and messages about selling used items that I realised I could profit from it.'
“但是直到我开始收到成千上万的关注和关于销售自己的二手物品的信息后，我才意识到我可以通过我的脚去赚钱。”
'I didn't show my face or anything at first, so I knew people were just interested in me for my feet, so it didn't feel too personal.'
“因为一开始我并没有露过脸或身体的其他部位，所以我知道人们只是对我的脚感兴趣，因此我觉得做这样的事不会太涉及到私人问题。”
'But when I started selling I got a real buzz from it, and realised just how much I could make from selling shoes and socks from time to time.
“但当我开始在网上卖二手物品后，我马上就产生了兴奋感，因为我意识到时不时地卖鞋和袜子竟然可以赚到不少钱。”

“我意识到在最繁忙的一个月里我可以赚多少钱，那个月凭借视频、袜子和鞋子我就进账了超过8000英镑。现在我停不下来了，因为不管我有多老，我的脚总能给我赚钱！”
