The Foap app is one of the money-making apps that people can use to generate some additional income themselves.
There is also a website where you can do the same things as are done on the app. The app allows people to upload photos with their smartphones.
The photos are then bought by companies and brands that later use the images for commercial purposes.
The sellers are paid when a photo is purchased by a buyer and they share the proceeds with Foap.

Conclusion
It is always good to upload a high-quality image since it has a better chance of selling much faster than an image that is not high-quality.
Always make sure that the models in your photos are aware that you are selling the photo because Foap will always need the signed permission of the model appearing in the photo.
