Today we’d like to introduce you to The Voice Of #TTB.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started blogging about mainstream pop culture news in 2012 at the age of 22. However, it was just a hobby at that time & then in 2013 I started a website where I would promote local artists within the city & the site started gaining traction so I launched my parent company in 2014. Under that company, I had online subsidiaries catering to various aspects – so one site was used for pop culture news, another site was used for promoting local artists & then I attempted to venture into the world of pro wrestling news but but at that time my love for wrestling wasn’t there so that quickly shut down. In 2015, I landed upon a website called Tumblr & noticed hundreds of blog pages dedicated to attractive men & I thought to myself, “I could do that” so I created #TTB (Thirst Trap Boys) & at first, it was just a Tumblr page & a landing page on my pop culture website. Luckily for me the world loves sex & attractive men so the Tumblr took off gaining over 20k followers & the #TTB landing page became the most viewed page on my pop culture website. In 2016 after a 5 year break up with my ex-partner I was mentally & emotionally drained so I shut down the pop culture website & I stopped promoting local artists & decided to keep #TTB under my parent company as its own entity & now, here we are years later & #TTB is an award-winning Integrated Media Company that has reached over 30 million online users since 2016.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest challenge I have faced running #TTB was when a former employee decided to delete our original TTBNETWORK YouTube Channel & Our original Facebook account. We had a 100k following on Facebook at the time & millions of views on YouTube, luckily our Twitter account & Instagram account wasn’t touched so at least we had some of our audience left over even if it was a small fraction of what it once was.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
#TTB Entertainment aka ThirstTrapBoys – is an integrated media, entertainment & adult company that is primarily known for its “Entertainment for adults” content. Via YouTube, Twitter & Other Major Social Media Outlets. Our website ThirstTrapBoys.Com serves as our blogsite where we post the latest LGBTQIA gossip, rumors & news.
The site also features our best-selling #TTB merchandise – we have had several sell-out collections & a collaboration with LGBTQIA Web Reality star “Drecember” & together we launched his “The Audacity Of Drecember” Merchandise & in less than 24 hours majority of the merch was sold. Recently our 2022 #TTBHoliday Merch collection sold over 150 Items
Our current & revamped YouTube channel “TTBNetwork” has reached over 1 million views in less than two years of being available to the general public & has become the number one platform for the LGBTQIA Web Reality Tv spectrum.
In addition to Web Reality Tv content, we have our own original shows (The #TTBPodcast, How Smart Are You ?, The Queen’s Corner, The King’s Council & The Panel)
On April 30th, 2022 our #TTBNetwork YouTube Channel won “media company of the year” at the 1st annual Boss Babe Awards in Atlanta & this year, we have received two nominations for “podcast of the year” & “media company of the year” at the second annual Boss Babe Awards.
Our #TTB adult content has been hosted by AVNMedia via their internet content subscription service site AVNSTARS – AVNMedia is a publishing, digital media & event management company for the adult entertainment industry. During the last three years, our #TTB adult content has been in the top 10 on AVNSTARS. However, we are looking for a new hosting site to host our huge adult video library because AVNMedia closed it’s online doors in April 2022 to focus on other aspects of their company’s large portfolio.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Consistency & the ability to adapt – the online landscape is constantly changing literally day by day so finding new ways to market content is key. In 2016 when we started #TTB officially as its own entity we didn’t have Tiktok, YouTube shorts or Instagram reels. Long-form videos & written blog posts were the standard in 2016 but that has changed completely. So adaptation & being consistent are extremely important to our success.
