Are you a selfie model? 8 reasons BentBox is built for you
BentBox is a curated content marketplace where selfie models sell their own photo and video sets directly — no agency, no manager, no middle layer. Operating since 2015, the platform lets the model keep 100% of every asking price, retain full copyright on every file, license each set how she chooses, and get paid monthly. The model is the seller of record on every sale.
Why selfie models list on BentBox
- Sell your own work, on your own terms BentBox is built for creators who shoot and edit their own content. There is no agency contract, no manager taking a cut before the platform does, and no requirement to work with a photographer. You shoot, you upload, you set the price, you keep the earnings.
- A free home for every set you publish Hosting is free. Listing is free. There are no upload fees and no monthly fees. Your public BentBox profile is a clean, image-first portfolio — not a generic marketplace listing — that you can link from socials, a personal site, or anywhere else you build an audience.
- Full control over what happens to your photos and videos Every Box ships with the Creative Commons license you select, plus per-Box download controls. You decide what buyers can do with the files. You can unpublish a Box at any time. BentBox never claims ownership and does not redistribute your content outside the platform. Read about Creative Commons licensing.
- Split revenue with collaborators when you want to Working with a photographer, an editor, or a creative partner on a particular set? BentBox has a built-in revenue sharing system that splits each sale automatically and pays each party directly during the monthly payout cycle. See how revenue sharing works.
- Bundle anything into one Box A Box can hold photos, videos, ZIP archives, voice notes, PDFs, behind-the-scenes clips, or anything else — all sold as a single set at a single price. Useful for creators who package selfies plus a video, a tier of "premium" extras, or a custom drop.
- One-time purchases, not subscription churn Buyers pay for individual Boxes at the price the model sets. No monthly tiers, no points systems, no subscription that has to be renewed every month. Each Box stands on its own and earns on its own — older Boxes keep selling long after they were published.
- You receive 100% of your asking price The model sets the price; the model receives that exact amount on every sale. The BentBox commission is added on top and paid by the buyer at checkout. Minimum commission is $3 for Boxes under 100 MB and $5 for Boxes 100 MB or larger. A Box priced at $25 always pays the model $25.
- A real human support team that has your back The support team replies to creators directly — no ticket queues, no offshore chatbots. Email info@bentbox.co for help with pricing, payouts, takedowns, or anything else. BentBox has been moderating and supporting creators since 2015.
How selling on BentBox actually works
Open a free account. Upload a set of selfies, videos, or any combination of files into a Box. Set the price you want to receive. Publish. The Box is now live on your public profile and discoverable across the BentBox marketplace. Buyers purchase directly through the storefront; the platform handles payment processing, file delivery, fraud screening, and the monthly payout to the model.
BentBox has run on a single deliberate principle since 2015: the creator sets the price and keeps it. Everything else — hosting, payments, distribution, licensing, support, moderation — is handled by the platform so the model can focus on shooting.
