In recent years, one of the primary crossover industries that adult industry models, performers, influencers and companies have all been exploring has been cannabis products. While advertising and promoting cannabis flower (“bud”) is still a tricky proposition for American entities, due to the ongoing criminalization of cannabis at the federal level, CBD-based products are a different story, as their distribution is not prohibited under those same federal laws.

Among the CBD companies that have been making inroads into the adult industry, 20Four7CBD has been one of the most direct in its appeal, attending events like Exxxotica Expo to establish and build relationships with members of the adult industry, recruit brand ambassadors and spread the word about what the company has to offer.

YNOT recently sat down with  20Four7CBD owner Anthony Gioia to talk about his vision for the company and the role he envisions his company playing in helping adult models, performers, influencers and companies to monetize their platforms and brands.

YNOT: What’s the single most important thing people should know about 24/7 CBD and the company’s vision? Put another way, what is 24/7 CBD about as a company?

Anthony: Before I begin, I would like to take a second to thank Jay (Kopita, YNOT co-owner) for making this happen and putting me in this position to have this article published!

The single most important thing to know about 20four7CBD is that we are the best CBD company around to come make business happen. We strive to have the best product and to offer the best opportunity to work with and we expect to take the market by storm.

The main reason I started in this field was researching healthy alternatives for natural body recovery and body immunity. With our products and marketing strategy, the company is here to help the community and give back more than just praise to those who support us and take advantage of our programs.

For the consumer, we are a one-stop shop platform where you can research and find the exact line of CBD that fits your budget. 20four7 has been designed to give back to its brand ambassadors and social media influencer affiliates. We are a revolutionary company when it comes to pioneering an entire CBD and Cannabis movement into the porn industry.

Over the last 4-5 weeks, we have spent the time focused on creating partnerships and making sure we are crushing the competition. It is very exciting to see where this is going to go and who else is going to get involved. If you are interested or need help monetizing your platform, please reach out to me at 20four7CBD@gmail.com.

YNOT: Tell us a bit about products you offer; are they all CBD-based/CBD-infused?

Anthony: We have the biggest and best selection of CBD products on the internet. We have all different strands and strengths. We carry things such as full spectrum, zero THC content, delta 8. Name a type of product, we should have it. Gummies, flower, bath bombs, teas, lotions, dog treats, iced coffee, gum, vapes, you name it. If not, we can help you find what you need.

We have teams dedicated to working with all different types of CBD companies to tie their products into our site. Some of these companies are Foria, Cativa, JUST CBD, Vermont CBD and more. That’s exactly why we are looking for new companies, startups, models and actresses.  We have a great foundation to build on. Now, we have to capitalize and bring people on board to spread the word and bring our sales to a new level.

YNOT: How can people in the adult industry work with 24/7 CBD? Do you offer an affiliate program? Do you purchase advertising and/or traffic from adult sites?

Anthony: There are two ways to contact us. Feel free to reach out to us by phone at 516.941.5910 or by email 20four7CBD@gmail.com.

If there is any value you believe you can add to our company, please reach out. We are looking for digital marketing partners, photographers, models, actresses, videographers, brand ambassadors, salesman – but the main goal is to find the right people to work in our affiliate program. Unlock a steady stream of income by participating as an official affiliate with us. Our affiliates make 10% to 20% commission on each successful sale they refer to us. Each and every sale you refer is tracked and attributed to you, even if the visitor leaves and completes the sale at a later date. We make sure to meet and exceed industry averages on sales commissions. If you’d like to contact us for promotional reasons, or to work events as a model, that is always an option as well.

YNOT: I see that you’ve displayed at Exxxotica events; do you attend other adult trade events as well, or plan to attend others in the future?

Anthony: This is a no-brainer. I felt super innovative as one of the first CBD companies to venture in this direction. The best part about this entire experience was the number of connections and opportunities that came from this event. It changed my perspective completely and now I am here for the long haul. My gameplan was to start with the Exxxotica Expo and from there it has been amazing. From the top models at the event, we have brought on 4 or 5 girls as brand ambassadors. We have partnered with Club Lucky Starr, Fox the Goddess, BBybaker and Bravo Star Liz Frankini. So, shout out to the team and the girls getting involved early. As far as future events, if everything works out goes as planned, you will be hearing our name at the YNOT Awards, as well.

YNOT: Why are CBD products a good ‘crossover’ item for adult performers, models and influencers to market? In other words, if I’m an adult performer or model looking for something outside of adult entertainment to promote as a means of generating additional revenue, why should I choose CBD products?

Anthony: Not every CBD product can be promoted in every industry. As far as other companies go, I believe our approach is the perfect match in the adult industry. We have focused on creating, promoting and selling CBD-infused lube. Many of the stars, consumers and production companies use it on a daily basis. We wanted as many influential people promoting this to be able to capitalize in as many ways possible.  if any film star is reading this and is contemplating working promoting CBD products, please email 20four7cbd@gmail.com. You are reading about us for a reason; feel free to reach out. We want to help people monetize their sites and presence.

I should note that there are major difference between CBD and marijuana, because much of the time these two are confused. The major difference is that CBD does not contain any elements to cause you to feel the psychoactive effect, aka that “high” feeling that you get from marijuana.

For healthcare professionals and holistic healers, if you need a sense of purpose or a specific reason to get behind a product, the science behind CBD and the holistic benefits are huge reasons why the entire industry took off and now CBD is everywhere.  In the CBD industry, there is an abundance of different products and companies to choose from. Almost too much where it’s over-flooded with everyone trying to catch a wave.

With this going on I took it upon myself to partner with everyone and bring them to a central location to distribute. We have four or five different product lists to purchase from.

YNOT: For those in the adult industry interested in working with you, how and where do they get started?

Anthony: As mentioned above, we are open for business. We want to hear everyone’s ideas and bring as many dedicated people on board as possible. If you believe in yourself, we will be there to support you. No idea is too crazy, so please feel free to reach out for partnerships and collaborations. Anyone who is interested in working in the CBD field should check out our website 20four7CBD.com and see what the industry and product is all about.

Please feel free to send us a friend request on Instagram @20four7cbd and then you can DM us. Please send resumes to 20four7CBD@gmail.com. We are here to give people opportunity and expand our reach. If you’ve always wanted to be part of an emerging industry or to build something of your own from the ground up, this is a perfect opportunity.

YNOT: Anything else you’d like to add?

Anthony: We have just entered the cannabis market with a collaborative partnership of top class. We are in the testing stages of releasing the first strand of “Frank Dapolito.” Frank Dapolito was my grandfather and a member of the Gambino Crime Family.  It is our goal to spread the story about who he was and how he played his part in the history of New York and the reign of the mob.
