Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jamie Freya Knott. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jamie Freya, appreciate you joining us today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea
Back in 2016, my life reached a dead end and I truly believed God and I were at the pinnacle of my life. I was a homeless, drug addicted prostitute with little care for much in the world. My mother was slowly drifting away and the world I had known forever was no more.
There reached a point of sinking so low that I had nothing to lose if I tried a few get rich schemes. I had no other choice but to figure it out or die like this. The reality is many people are faced with this harsh truth at some point.
Sink or swim.
The decision soon turned into a mission to empower autonomy in folks like me , folks like you. Any person who has ever felt trapped, desperate, and lifeless. I share what the Universe brings me and the hope is that people pay it forward.
With your own website and knowledge on how to drive traffic to the website , you can never be without an opportunity. A self hosted site is the answer.
So there was the idea… learn to make websites and make an agency.
The execution came when I learned to document all the things I learned. If I learned a skill, I would make a YouTube video or blog post teaching what I just learned. There is deeper comprehension when you have to teach what you learn to others.
Through learning, implementing, and teaching I learned each step of running a business.
Outside of books and videos, I prayed and meditated a lot in the beginning to remove the negative self talk from my mind.
There is no singular road to entrepreneurial success.
God, Universe, Shiva, and I trust you know the way. Deep down you know the way, just be patient and let it flow. I promise the answers are inside you.
Jamie Freya, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m a person who got tired of believing the worst in myself so I chose to believe the best in myself.
Business allows me to spread that energy.
I am particularly passionate about folks engaged in survival sex work and the elderly community. Both these groups are often broken down by institutions like hospitals, jails, etc.
With knowledge on how to drive web traffic, skill sharing, and profit growth these groups can remove the forced attachment to government assistance and entities.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
YouTube is an evergreen search platform that brings me clients and leads all the time. Make a channel on anything you want and you will build an audience that can be monetized if you desire.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

There is always more to learn and read but this is a snapshot of some of the things that have left an imprint on me spiritually and intellectually. Listen, read, and formulate your own thoughts.
We love you.
