What's up everyone, my name's Nathaniell, and I'm the guy who started One More Cup of Coffee. I teach people how to make money from blogging. I've been doing this successfully for more than 10 years now, and honestly, it's a lot easier than you think. I can definitely show you how to do what I do, and how to design a pretty awesome lifestyle for yourself.
For me, being in this business isn't about getting rich. It's about having time to do the stuff I really want to do, like fix up my house, make beer on the weekends, and spend time with my family. In fact, the name One More Cup of Coffee came from the days when I worked a real job and hated having to rush out the door every morning.
All I wanted is a little bit of extra time in the morning for a second cup of coffee.
Well, that dream came true, and I can show you exactly how I did it and how you can repeat the same process for yourself.
I wasn't always an internet marketer; in fact, I've done quite a few different jobs over the years.
Internet marketing was just the career path that ‘clicked' for me, mostly because I could do it from the comfort of my own home and according to my own schedule.
But let's start a bit further back; if you're going to get to know me, you should know a bit about where I'm from and what I've done.
People always ask me…
They say, “Well, you got started in 2010. Did I miss the gravy train? I'm sure there's too much competition now, so I'd never stand a chance!”
But the funny thing is that it's easier than ever to make money online. Why? There's two simple reasons:
- More products are being sold online now. People are shifting more and more of their shopping habits to the online world and that just wasn't the case even 5-10 years ago. Even small businesses and grocery stores are selling their products on the internet!
- There are more tools to make starting your business easier. Before, you had to code everything in HTML and be internet savvy. Now, there's tools to automate everything. Thousands of people have made the journey before, and you can use their wisdom to make your path easier.
It's kind of like traveling. In the past, you had to take a ship and spend weeks on the ocean to reach far-off places. Once there, you had to make your own adventure!
Now, You can reach any destination in the world within 24 hours. There's a guidebook for every country in every language, and there are smartphone apps for instant translation to your native language.
Nowadays, it's easier than ever to get started making money online because there are so many more resources available to you, and you can just “follow the guidebook” to get where you need to go (owning a money-generating website).
So, back to the story of how I got started…
I grew up in California, but left soon after graduating high school to travel in Europe. I was completely bored in the US and wanted to see the world. At the time, I had a friend living in Prague, so used her house as my “home base” between trips. When I needed money, I freelanced as an English teacher.
Eventually I landed a pretty sweet job as a kindergarten teacher, so I was officially getting paid to play duck-duck-goose and hide-and-seek for a few hours a day.
After a few years doing that, I broadened my horizons and set my sights on China. I wanted to learn Mandarin and start the next chapter in my travels.
China was wild. I made tons of friends, traveled all over the country, and became fluent in Mandarin.
But after being in China for a while, I began thinking about my future. It had been ten years since I left the US. I was having a blast traveling, but I had no job security and saving any money very difficult working for low wages.
So I hatched a crazy plan to make US dollars while working in China. I wanted to start an internet based business so that I could work on my computer in China but earn US money. Even just $30 per day was basically a full time income in China.
It took me about six months of fumbling around: browsing around different sites, joining tons of mailing lists, watching hours of promotional videos, and following my share of purported “gurus” before I came across Wealthy Affiliate.
They were the legit online training center I was looking for. After three months of training I had made my first sale through my website. Six months after that I was generating regular sales. After a total of eighteen months working on my website I was earning over $10,000 per month so I quit my job in China and bought plane ticket back to the USA.
Thanks to my affiliate websites, by 2013 I owned my own home, a brand new truck, and a motorcycle! As of 2021, I'm married with a son, and still working from home “full time” (about 3 hours a day).
Personally, I'm kind of done with traveling for now and enjoy being a homebody. I like tinkering with my house and going on walks with my wife. It's a simple life. No Lamborghini's and no private islands, but I have a family and a couple hobbies, and I'm good with that.
One More Cup of Coffee is about helping you craft your own version of the perfect life. Where do you see yourself next year? What about 10 years down the road?
The cool thing about starting an affiliate blog is that you can take your business anywhere in the world and work at any hour of the day, any days of the week. You don't need any qualifications or prerequisites to learn. No degree required! You can learn everything online, and learn at your own pace.
Making money from your blog is pretty simple, but it takes a lot of work. Don't expect this to be a get-rich-quick thing. If you're ready to put in the hours consistently over the next year or two, I'm ready to share my knowledge with you and help you start earning money on the internet, through your own blog.

Hi Nathaniell!
I am in real need of your advice, I’m currently taking a semester off college and just trying to make use of the free time I have and figure out what I want to do. I came across your post and was intrigued by what this program has to offer. My dad is starting a fence business, he builds iron and wood fence, sheds, etc. He only has a Facebook page and I got the idea of creating a website to promote his service as well as products or the material needed. How would I go about that if I do not have the material? Is there a way to work through WA and promote a company’s products while promoting my dad’s service? Or what would you recommend?
Nathaniell
Having a website would definitely boost your dad’s business. think of how many people type “fence repair” or “how to build a fence” or “how much does it cost to build a fence” into Google? You can use your website you build with WA to promote anything you like, including a local business like your dad’s. Plus, there’s some specific recorded webinars included in your members that talk about website building for local businesses (it’s a little different from affiliate sites).

Hi Nathaniel,
Nice to read your life’s adventure. I would love to travel the world someday at the same time earning online. By the way, am from Taipei, Taiwan. Born in the Philippines. I have been bouncing around the net finding a good tutorial on earning money online since 2013. Since my spinal operation, I couldn’t walk properly and can’t really feel my lower part of my body. Since then, I have been looking for a way to earn online. What I found instead was working for a SEO company. I don’t really earn that much. I still want to find extra coz’ I have medical bills to pay. I also found WA back then, but unfortunately, I stopped. I couldn’t afford the 49 a month and i was just using the free subsription. I then stumbled on Digital Altitude by Michael Force. Have you heard of him? Maybe yes. I can’t cope up with the price either. So i also stopped. I was thinking of continuing my free subscription with WA. I just want to know your honest answer about earning online. how long did it take for you to earn online using WA? How much was your first month earning?(sorry to ask this). I see alot of so-called gurus out there showing their cheques with thousands earned. I just thought they were fake and were photoshoped. I dunno, but I just have a good feeling with you Sir Nathaniel. just really want to honestly know about earning online.
Regards,
Nathaniell
Honestly, if you’re on the free subscription, you need to be very motivated and willing to do stuff yourself. Part of the power of WA is getting help when you need it, so when you are on the freebie membership, which doesn’t include the ability to ask questions, you need to look on other blogs and forums for answers.
In all, I’d expect six months to a year before you start making sales, but many people are able to go “full time” within two years.

Hi Nathaniell, I have just read your review of Scamexposer, from which I read a review about Six Figure Mentor – I have been in communication with one of their sales people Mark Panico – who seems pleasant enough and the website is pretty slick but so is the membership fee!
I’d like to promote my existing websites which are active in Germany – where, similar to you, I teach English but to business people but it doesn’t give me the freedom I yearn for, my wife is here with me and is from the Philippines and you probably remember from your own foray into English teaching/teaching – one only gets paid when one does it! So holidays are few and far between, unfortunately.
Six Figure Mentor at 98 Dollars a month and 198 Dollars sign up fee is a lot – if it were to bring the results then perhaps it isn’t in the long run but the Scamexposer says it’s not worth it – do you agree and could you point me in a direction which is less costly but teaches the same or similar stuff?
As I said I have my coaching for language here in Germany and it desperately needs optimising and FBing for marketing purposes too, and general website polishing to make it look more professional.
Your ideas and feedback would be great to hear.
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
Robert

I haven’t reviewed this product, but is ScamXposer says it’s not good, then I would think it’s not good!

I have read your entire page and have some great ideas I believe to promote and what I love to do.. just one question I got and it is how much does it cost to start a website. I know the program is free but websites cost money and I don’t think from what I have read that you can create a web site for free and it be your own domain name with out some cost to it.. Is that a correct statement or have I been told wrong. Thanks for any help
Nathaniell
The beginner section of WA is free. The advanced training is $49/month. Plus, it costs $15/year for a domain name. Hosting is included.
To build a website on your own will cost about $10-$50/month for hosting and $15/year for domain name. That does not come with support on how to make it into a business though! That’s the advantage of joining WA.
