Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Hello my friend!
How are you doing?
Recently, I haven't published many blog posts on WA but I've decided to start publishing here at least every now and then to provide you some value and tips.
I'm sure that my content can provide lots of value to you and especially those WA members who are just starting out their online business journey.
I'm also one of the top affiliates of Wealthy Affiliate and I've brought here 685 new members during the last 30 days. You may already know me from my website Your Online Revenue...
Anyway, let's get to today's topic!
Today I wanted to share with you 7 Interesting Facts that You didn't know about me!
Why?
This helps me to connect with you on a more personal level.
You'll get to know me better and see that person with a completely ordinary background like me can create a profitable online business.
As I always like to say, If I can do it, you can do it! :)
If you haven't yet started your online business journey, make sure to start the training today and continue it as long as you become successful as well.
1.My dream as a Kid Was to Become a Taxi Driver...
Many children dream of big things like becoming
• Doctor
• Millionaire
• Business owner
• Lawyer
• Etc.
But I didn't have such people close to me when I was a kid. The reason is that I didn't have very successful people in my surroundings.
My uncle was (and is still) a taxi driver so I thought, "Wow, I want to become a taxi driver as well!"
And do you know what? I became a taxi driver! I worked occasionally as a taxi driver during my studies for a 2,5-year period.
Nowadays I have much bigger goals. I want to build big and successful businesses and help 1,000,000's of people worldwide.
Currently, you still have a great opportunity because you can still contact me personally.
It might not be so easy in the future! ;)
2.I Am One of the Best Chess Players in Finland
Have you ever Googled my name "Roope Kiuttu"?
You'll find pictures of me as a kid and a teenager playing chess.
In the cover pictures, I'm the kid in the grey t-shirt, haha!
If there's 1 thing in this world that I know VERY, VERY Well, that is how to beat you at chess ;)
I've trained and played 1,000's of hours of chess and in my last tournament I beat a guy who was in the TOP-50 of the World's best chess players.
However, nowadays I don't play so much because I want to become the best Internet marketer in the world instead of the best chess player.
More importantly, with my current path I can provide much more value to you by helping you to make a life-changing income online.
It feels great when I know that I can impact people's life positively.
If I would be moving wooden pieces in a chess tournament, that wouldn't probably have such a big positive impact on your life compared to now when I'm helping you to make money online.

3.I Was Playing Chess At 5yo and Cards at 4yo
When kids need to sleep a nap, they often don't want to do that, right?
In the kindergarten, I didn't want to sleep a nap because I was often excited to play cards with a few other kids.
Not some "baby card game" but a real card game that also adults play! ;)
We started playing chess (with real rules) when I was 5 years old.
I still remember some of the chess openings and around 10-20 moves that we played 20 years ago in my kindergarten, lol!
I could show them to you anytime on a chess board.
4.I Have Been In Around 30 Countries
You may already know that I enjoy traveling.
Currently I'm in Thailand during the next 6 months I'll go at least to Malaysia, Vietnam, U.S., U.K., Finland and maybe some other countries as well.
I am originally from Finland so most of the countries that I have visited are in Europe.
Then I've also explored the most countries in the Southeast Asia:
• Thailand
• Singapore
• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Etc.
When I was a kid, we never traveled abroad with a family because we didn't have money to do that.
Now I feel privileged and thankful because I learned the skills to earn money online and be able to travel anywhere I want.
5.I Became a Born-Again Christian When I Was 16yo
The most important thing in my life is the faith in God and in Jesus Christ.
I could let go of anything else but that's #1 thing that I'll never let go.
When I was 16yo, I started listening to Christian's teaching online and I read 2 books (Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz and another one that I don't remember).
One day I started praying God alone at home and He touched me.
I started going to the church and get to know also other believers.
Since then I've been going to the church regularly for +9 years.
This obviously affects to my business in a way that I only recommend products that provide value to you and are 100% legitimate.
For example, casino companies have contacted me and wanted to pay me for putting an ad or a link on my website pointing to their site but I've refused because that business doesn't align with my values.
Therefore, you know that anything I recommend to you is 100% legitimate, trustworthy and provides real value.
6.I Never Wanted to Speak English!
You may already know that I have a website called LanguagesAreEasy.com.
But did you know that when I was at High School, I almost decided that I'll never want to speak English anymore?
My English skills weren't that good and I felt that I'm just not good at languages.
I was embarrassed to speak English at all.
I had learned (the lie) that if you are good at maths, you are not good in languages.
Later on, I learned that literally anyone can become master at languages if you are using the right techniques (If you want to learn the best techniques for learning languages, go to my LanguagesAreEasy.com website).
Nowadays I don't have any problem with speaking English and 99% of my online business happens in English.
Let my story be an encouragement for you!
If English is not your native tongue either, don't worry, You can still make lots of money online and do business internationally.
7.I Am a Bachelor Of Social Services
I graduated from the University of Applied Sciences with a degree from Social Services.
However, I don't do anything nowadays with my degree because I make my living online.
I don't have any intentions to use my degree in the future for several reasons:
1. I am able to help 1,000's (or in the future even 1,000,000's) of people through my work online.
2. I'm able to earn much more money online.
3. Earning money online gives a freedom to live wherever I want.
4. I can work whenever I want.
