Celebrities like X Factor's Chris Maloney, spiritual medium Derek Acorah and former Brookside actor Louis Emerick are making hundreds from personalised messages.
The stars are selling videos of themselves for as little as £15, and customers can get a special message from their favourite celeb.
It is all done via www.celebvm.com, who has a variety of actors, singers and TV personalities on their books.
Celebvm said: "Great way for fans and celebrities to connect in a unique and fun way. Great as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, personal connections and much more.
"You can watch, download, share, & keep your video forever."
All you need to do is fill out an online form and make it as personal as you want - then Chris Maloney could be wishing you a 'happy birthday' for £15.
A video from Derek Acorah will cost you a little more at £25, while Louis Emerick, who played Mick Johnson in the Channel 4 soap Brookside, is pricer still at £30 a message.
The company would not reveal how many each celeb has sold, but did confirm "they have all done hundreds each".
They also said the messages are usually for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
And these local celebs aren't the only ones flogging footage, you can get a special wedding blessing from Danniella Westbrook for £15, or how about a Christmas wish from beloved 90s kid's TV presenter Pat Sharp for £30?
Or if you fancy an American star, 90s Superman Dean Cain will wish you happy birthday for £39 or Hercules' Kevin Sorbo can send you a 'get well soon' video for £39.
