LeShawn Lewis, notably known as Poppy Blasted, began his YouTube journey in 2013 and since has created a platform of 287k subscribers. Through all the content he has produced, he has been able to rack in 38 million (and counting) views.
Lewis mentioned that in 2015 is when he began taking his journey on the platform a lot more seriously because he had realized he could monetize himself by doing what he “loves”. Creating tutorials and content for 360 Wave and Hair Culture that has been able to imprint many around the world!
YouTube is a platform that places individuals in front of millions of viewers and eyes daily and Poppy Blasted said that this was a direct reason why he is adjusting to opening up more to his supporters. From his supporters on YouTube, Poppy Blasted has been able to translate it to his business, PB The Goat Merch.
From product development without any “professional schooling” to becoming a flourishing businessman may be troubling for some, but for Poppy Blasted it was “quite easy”. The businessman and Youtuber mentioned that his journey to making his business flow “just right” for him was, “a matter of trial and error”.
Although it took time to learn aspects to create a quality hair product, Poppy Blasted did that. Lewis was able to brand himself in a new lane by investing in himself, something he highlights as a key component to success.
While many become content with a substantial level of success he has had, Poppy Blasted is not. He mentioned that in the near future he plans to create another YouTube channel (The Goat Drip Family) that will show his daily lifestyle and be more insightful to his family.
On the business side, the plans still remain the same; to create the best hair products and push for dominance. Poppy Blasted is on the rise to topping the hair community by providing top-tier products from hair brushes (which he notes as one of his “biggest investments) to oils, butters, and more!
