I escaped corporate america and now make millions online

Last night I asked a group of 300 people what do they think of their day to day life and what color does it look like. Everybody said that they feel trapped. It feels repetitive. They use colors like gray and poop green, I kid you not. And they were saying how their current lives just feel like a repetitive loop that's happening over and over again. And they all desired to just be able to have financial freedom. That's much so, not so much like making more money, but just being able to not be so tired all the time of not having to go to a job that they hate. Having to sit in traffic, having to be away from their kids and their family and just being able to breathe and do what they want and not have to stress about retirement or bills or their future. My name is Evan Knopp and now at this point I've made over $7 million online. I make millions of dollars a year, I travel the world. I'm actually out currently living in Europe and I've just been living my best life. I was supposed to go the corporate route. In fact, I was getting pretty deep into it. I was going to school for computer science and I thought that that was like the way is I get a good degree, I work my way up the ladder, I start maybe some sort of entry mid level job, work my way up to a senior position, maybe eventually get to management. Hopefully I can eventually get some equity or get stock options at my job, get great benefits and a high paying career. But I shortly realized that that is a sentence to basically a beautiful prison cell where you're going to the office, you're getting all these things, but you're always submitting to your boss, you're always having to turn things in on time. You get a couple weeks of paid time off in America. It's not like, you know, these Europeans out here, they'll, they'll have like two months of vacation or holiday they call it every single year and they just go f off and just exist and in life and, and not stress about everything for a while now while they do get paid significantly less in Europe, it's just a completely different work life culture. But in America you're expected to just lock in for the next 40 years of your life, the best years of your life, to then hopefully save up for retirement to have a good future when you're older. You know, maybe you have a little bit more, more benefits when you're in your 40s and 50s in your career. But I realized that, that, that's not for me. So I dropped out of college and I decided to start building a some businesses online. Originally I started with some real estate. I started flipping some houses. So with no money I found an investor. I'd help them find deals and they'd partner up with me on some houses. And I made like 50, 60 thousand dollars with it, but the income was pretty inconsistent. I tried doing some sort of like e commerce online stores, I tried selling like T shirts online, I tried doing Instagram pages, but just nothing was working. So I kept going, I kept trying to do the real estate thing because it made me some money. And then I started a YouTube channel around it. So I started to just make videos, talking about what I was doing in my process and how my life was changed off of real estate and just kind of helping pass the torch over to other people. And then eventually I started like selling like a course and getting brand deals and affiliate deals off my channel and I started making a few thousand dollars a month and I was like, okay, cool. Dropped out of college, had enough to like pay my bills essentially. And then that was until one day my car broke down and I just didn't really have enough money to fix it. Even though I was making a couple thousand dollars a month, it was basically what my expenses were. I couldn't get my car fixed. And so I just, yeah, I was like out in the middle of nowhere too. I was living on Idaho. My parents didn't live, their family didn't live there. I really didn't have any friends there. It was just where I went to school at. And when I dropped out, I kind of disconnected and self isolated from everybody. I remember just in this period of isolation being like, dude, am I really just going to keep grinding this out, trying all these different side hustles and trying to make money? Or am I actually going to make something for myself and make this all happen and make this all like a reality? So like it make like go like live my life, actually enjoy it like I said I was going to. So I locked myself into my room for a few weeks and I came across these YouTube channels that were like faceless. They were like these Reddit videos at the time. So I started making the videos and within two weeks I started hitting a million views in a day. I got monetized on YouTube and I made, it was like $5,000 in just a few days off of my, off these YouTube channels, these Reddit videos. No one knew who I was, no one knew that I was making them. And then my YouTube channels ended up getting Unmonetized, I wasn't making any money anymore. So what did I do? I gave up. I called it all quits, moved back in with my parents, moved into my parents basement. No, I'm just kidding. Of course not. I'm not that chopped boys. But what happened was, is I locked in, I doubled down and I started making more videos. I ran two, three channels of these Reddit videos. I didn't make any money for 45 days. I was getting millions of views a day. And then eventually I figured out how to actually get monetized. And I ended up making $18,000 that month. I got monetized. It was like at the end of the month. And the next month I remember I hit $42,000 in a single month off of these Reddit YouTube channels. And then I outsource it, got other people to run it for me. I traveled to Bali, Indonesia, went out there for like a month and a half, came back to Idaho, survived another winter there, building out more channels and growing and, and all this. And then I realized I hated Idaho. So I moved out to Scottsdale, Arizona. It was like polar opposite, super nice weather. And then, yeah, basically just started living my best life. Started making tons of money, hit $70,000 a month that next year, bought my dream cars, was living in this giant house, was living my dream life. But then everything kind of fell apart. Relationship at the time just, we were on completely different wavelengths and different pathways. I wanted to keep being more successful. I wanted to go do all sorts of crazy things in life and just like enjoy life and go travel all the time and have fun, experience and build incredible companies. And she kind of wanted more of an easy life to just go work a job. And we were just in misalignment with her with like what we wanted in life. And so we, we ended up breaking up. I partied like crazy, was like 21 years old, making way too much money for my age and started, yeah, partying. It got a little too much though. There's just like a lot of weird stuff happening at these parties and stuff. And I just realized it wasn't for me. So after that New Year's came, I, I came up with the epiphany. I'm going to become sober. I'm just going to focus on locking in, doing cool stuff and just really focusing on living like the good life, a pure life, something that, you know, felt like it was God's given purpose to, to, to enjoy and share and to, and to cherish and to, and to bless others with like the, the gifts that I had received in life. So I locked in. I got pretty jacked and then started grinding my face off and tried to figure out how to, how to make six figure months and then to try to figure out how to make million dollar months. And it was a struggle, it was a grind, it was a lot of work, it was a lot of hours. But it was the best decision that I ever made. And so this journey that I've been on has been one of the best journeys that I've ever pursued or endured or ever could have predicted. I realized that like my purpose really is to like set goals that are high, that feel like high in the sky. Like, wow, can I really achieve this? And to pursue it and make it happen. All the while enjoying my life along the, along the ride. So, so far on this Europe trip, I went to London, then I went to Amsterdam and I went to Cologne, then I went to Luxembourg. I'm in another city. I'm gonna go probably just cruise around Europe for a little bit. Like around like kind of the central place, Germany, maybe Prague and stuff. And then, and then eventually go to like Spain, Italy, places like that before I go back home for, for Christmas and enjoying it out with my parents. But yeah, I'm living the good life and the next year we'll see where it goes. Maybe go to Miami, New York City. Still haven't been to New York City. I don't know why, but yeah, just living my best life because I've, I, I bet on myself because I decided enough is enough. I made that decision that I'm like, I'm going to figure this out myself. I'm going to make this happen. I'm going to make this work. I'm going to become rich. I'm going to live a very full life and not have somebody tell me what to do. And now there was definitely years. Whereas like other people that went to school with and they got their degrees, they made way more money than me, like for a long time. Like they're making way more money than me way faster. I had nothing in my savings for a long time. But it's, it's, it's a lot of nothing. And then it's a whole lot of something. It was years of just grinding, making some money, losing the money, making some money, losing the money and then getting to the point where I started to stop losing so much money. I started. Now I've done like six figure months for two years straight now, which is pretty crazy. I think I have one month. We hit like 98, 000 or something like that. But yeah, my life has been changed forever. And I love seeing it change other people's lives as well. So anyways, this channel, by the way, that you guys are watching, I'm just here to like, share the lessons, to share my stories and to just hang out. I have another channel where I make like, way more, like, more formal content where it's way more instructive and educational and like, how to and made to go a lot more viral. And this videos are just kind of more for fun and just to like, just share like the essence of me becoming successful. So you can as well. So anyways, that's my story. So if I can do it, you can too.
