From the developer
Broadstreet's own description of Selfie, lightly tidied.

Your loyal readers are an untapped source of revenue. You will never know how
many potential advertisers are reading your site; until you try Selfie.
Selfie places one or more self-serve message widgets in your posts and pages
which let end readers post their own message to promote themselves — for a price
that you set, of course.
This is useful for:
- Classified-like ads
- Shout outs
- Promotion of a business or event
Just insert a Selfie anywhere in a WordPress post or page by enabling automatic
placement (default) or enter the [selfie] shortcode in a post.
Pricing: A 20% fee on Selfie purchases. There is a minimal adserving charge
for large publishers only (those with close to 100k+ monthly page views).
Most users will never have to pay.
