I quit my job in retail to sell burps in a jar for a living

A man claims he’s now making £22,000 a month by selling burps in a jar and a sending people his used socks.

Curtis Gibbs, 25, says his life has changed since he started fulfilling people’s fetishes online – and his family is fully behind him.

Previously he made £1,300 a month working in supermarkets and he had maxed out his credit cards when he decided to turn to an online ‘career’.

Curtis, from Wolverhampton, said: ‘The list is endless when it comes to strange requests. One guy wanted me to gulp down a bottle of Coca Cola, burp into a jar, seal the jar and post it to him.’

Curtis’s first foray into fetishes came in 2018 but he didn’t start taking it seriously until November 2019 when he quit his day job.

After seeing his subscribers increase over time, he started posting more regularly and now has a studio dedicated to his craft.

People ask him for his bath water, used underwear and old trainers.

Curtis said: ‘I made the decision to quit retail in November 2019 due to my mental health – I’d worked in retail all my life and it got to the point where I’d had enough and couldn’t deal with human interaction anymore.

‘I converted my spare bedroom into a content room and my first goal was to figure out a way to set myself aside from other content creators and find my own niche.

‘When I was growing up my family didn’t have a lot of money, I effectively come from a council house with a low income, and now I can go on holidays and buy designer brands.

‘I never forget my roots or where I come from, so I count my blessings every day really.

‘I was in a lot of debt with maxed-out credit cards, loans to pay off – I was £5k in debt so I was working full-time to have money for bills and travel to work.

‘No matter what job I threw myself into it felt like I didn’t have much disposable income left.’

He added: ‘I’m proof you can have a chubby belly and chest hair in this line of work.

‘I’m not focused on tirelessly working in retail and I get to have my own time, work when I want to, and focus on my mental stability.

‘My family are absolutely supportive, they could see how much I was bringing in and could see a change in my happiness as well.’
