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 Nathaniel,
I am a paid member of WA but I’m confused with the platform. I joined this year and was then hospitalized for three months. I’m home now but confused with navigating the site. Should I drop a line to Kyle for help? Also I had to deactivate all my social media and google, and YouTube for security reasons. Can I set up a fake name for these sites to continue with working online?
Nathaniell
You can just PM me inside. I can definitely help!
Also yes, you can use pen names or brand names for your social media. Lots of people do that!
Ian Pulley
Hello, my name is Ian. I have followed your blog for a while now and can say that I have started my own blog because of your enthusiasm and encouragement. Though I just started I feel as if I can do almost anything after reading your blog. I am a member of WA and love it as it has helped me so much and the coaches are incredible.
I want to personally thank you for pushing me as after reading your blog I just went and did what you said and now I’m a month in. I have no sales but at this point, I’m just looking to generate good content overall. I just want to say thanks again and keep up the hard work yourself.
I will keep pushing myself. I would love to keep in touch along the way and update you as well about my blog so stay tuned and again thank you so much.
Nathaniell
Thanks so much for the message Ian. I often forget that there are folks reading my site who are working diligently in the background! Keep up the good work man. One thing that keeps me moving, even when projects aren’t working out yet, is that there’s often a 3-month delay. What you do now will yield results in three months.
Of course, that’s not always exactly what happens, but it’s good motivation to keep the ax to the grindstone 🙂

Hello – are you still in business – do you do phone consultations?
Nathaniell
Yes, I’m still in business! Sorry, but I don’t do phone consultations. Anything you want to ask, you can do so on my blog, right here. I’ve done phone calls in the past, and historically, when people call, they just ask a bunch of private questions about my business, income, and basic stuff that’s on my website already. The whole plan of how I run my business is here, for free. If you have any specific questions about it, you can post a question there or respond to this comment here.

Hello, Nathaniell:
I’m very grateful that I came across your site. I’ve been a member of WA for several months but haven’t really done much with it. It is among many venues that I’m investigating to starting on online business. It is heartening to see your endorsement of it; so much so, that I will be giving it a renewed look.
Nest month, I am 64 years young, a lifetime pianist, organist, composer primarily in the church. I hear the retirement benefits are out of this world ( ;-)) but I’m interested in generating a substantial web-based income. WA, like any other platform, takes work and I’m aware of it.
I’ll take a look at your online WA course. Thanks for being so generous and a real human being in an ocean of schisters.
– Tom

Enjoy Thomas!
