“When I’m live it’s so much more fun for me to get off and play games and connect with my fans.”
“It seems like I’ve come across people who are in my best interests so that helps out a lot.”
One of those people who have looked out for Violet since Day 1 is Aaron Andrew, the tech- savvy entrepreneur who founded the exclusive Nudiez platform in 2016 and also owns Fans Management, a full-service agency that combines strategy, community and marketing.
Andrew tells AVN he first noticed “Kourtney Kash” when he was searching Reddit, reporting users that were leaking explicit content there illegally.
He saw that she was selling access to her Snapchat but wasn’t monetizing it correctly. Recognizing her potential, Andrew reached out to her through Snapchat and said that his team could help her do this better.
“And she was just like, ‘Heck yeah, what do I do?’” Andrew recalls.
“She was running wild, driving her car across the country just making it happen, so we collaborated with her to build a brand.”
Andrew’s team shared insights with Violet about best practices for posting and how to use the algorithms on different social media platforms to her advantage.
“Violet is smart and works very hard,” Andrew says. “And she’s one of the most good-natured people we’ve ever been blessed to work with.”
He continues, “I did ask her one time, what did I say to you to inspire you to work so hard? And she told me, ‘I came from nothing Aaron. I was so broke and so down. I came from such a hard background. I was just motivated.’
“There was something within her that motivates her to go out there and create amazing content and share this crazy journey she’s on with all her fans and sincerely engage with them on a genuine level. That’s a rare thing these days.”
Only few are chosen to join the Nudiez network, Andrew says.
“The criteria to work with us is pretty stringent,” he continues, adding that Nudiez probably has 15,000 applications from girls who want to be on the team.
He notes that a lot of models treat their social media “like a one-way street.”
“Like it’s their own personal Vogue magazine, very one-dimensional,” Aaron says. “That’s why nobody cares or comments. The proof is in the pudding.”
That’s where Summers stands out, he adds.
Violet at press time had 13.6 million followers on Instagram at @violets.tv and more than 1 million on Twitter at @violetsummerss.
“We’re so proud of her,” Aaron says. “We’re just so happy that she’s really seized this moment in time and opportunity and turned it something and made it part of her own story.
