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.

Nathaniell
I never recommend buying anything from someone that calls you on the phone out of the blue, especially “how to make money” programs.
As far as how to make money online, please use the resources available on my site to see if this is something you’d like to get involved with. It WILL cost money to build your website, so please keep that in mind!
Chris
Are these comments real?
Nathaniell
Dunno. Are you real?

Hi Nathaniell,
Now I am able to write two to three sentences like comments as I am not good at any thing(niche) and I have never written any content how I can write 1200 to 2000 words unlimited content which will be continued months after months and years after years. where can I get these ideas? Does WA teaches it?
How can you help me finding a niche and writing content?
Nathaniell
Yes, Wealthy Affiliate can teach you how to research and write content that ranks. However, the “quality” of content will have to be practiced by you. They will not teach you how to write, but they will show you how to structure your articles and optimize them for search engines.

So before I can add any links or become an affiliate of anything, I need to first pick a niche and a product. Then create a website. Then become an affiliate with links, etc. etc.
Question I have. When creating a website, should we be creating a general site that have a lot of different topics so we can be affiliates of many products or build a website focusing on that specific niche, like fitness then become an affiliate of just fitness products? Basically, whatever website you are building determines what products you will be promoting on there right?
Nathaniell
You should build a website based on specific topics, with a limited range of products. You need to appeal to a specific audience. Even if you just do something super focused, like “get rock hard abs for babies”, there’s still a lot of stuff you can promote like home fitness gear, protein shakes, preworkout, baby-sized dumbells, etc.

Hi Nathaniel,
I am a nurse who quit my job in Kuwait to personally take care of my three kids and decided to start small scale businesses, one of which I took interest is the digital marketing business. I was very excited to start I can’t remember how I was easily convinced to purchase affiliate marketing program, auto responder and website builder draining my money more even before I started an income online. To date I am still confused and now almost lost to that dream of earning passive to major income online that I used to imagine I thought i could easily learn and earn. Despite of the team support they gave me I still am lost and because I am already paying my subscription I am left with no choice but to keep trying to learn until I will completely understand how to run an online business.
Until I came across your website and got inspired again, feeling the sincerity of your content. I decided to reach you hoping you can enlighten me and start all over again with your guidance if it is not too much to ask. I will forever be grateful and help you back if ever you will need my help in every possible chance I get just to return the favor.
Nathaniell
All of us who have made money online got caught up in “easy money” promises at one time or another. There’s nothing to feel ashamed about! Also, ANY entrepreneur, anywhere in the world has had some failed projects.
The successful ones are the ones who pick themselves up, start over, and try out another idea.
Wealthy Affiliate is a great way to start your business because it’s very cheap to get started. They focus on doing the work yourself, writing content for Google, and you don’t need an autoresponder or other fancy website building tools. We start with the basics, and go from there!

Hello Nathaniel,
How many websites would you recommend someone to keep? I ask this because there will be a limit of time and effort a single person can put in so many websites. For instance, how many websites do you keep?
Kind Regards,
Jorge

1-2 are fine. One can make you wealthy if you do it right! The idea that you need a ton of small mini-niche websites is a myth, and kind of a marketing gimmick for people that want to sell various types of software. Some people DO do it that way, and it can work, for sure. But it takes a lot of time, and you’re usually better off building one very strong site instead of a bunch of weak ones.
