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.

Hii Nathaniell, how are you doing? Just wanted to ask you a few questions.
i have just go through the WA ‘Get Started Here’ of all the lessons a couple of days ago.
After having my niche and website as required, so how can I possibly earning money from my website?
I mean who will be paying me? Currently I’m still staying as a basic member, so this is kinda weird i ask questions here as my starter member has expired. I’m not a computer expert or anything and I have no idea how all these online marketing works. I know there are tons of ways online earning money just like people googling it. So basically my sole purpose is to find out this things. btw im from Malaysia.
Nathaniell
This is explained in detail within Wealthy Affiliate. Companies with affiliate programs will pay you in a variety of ways, usually via direct bank deposit or Paypal. It just depends on who you decide to promote and how their program runs.
Your starter membership allows you premium access to live chat support and contact with me on the website for 7 days. Even if that expires, you can still work on your free websites and access many free training modules, as you are doing now! For continued 1-on-1 support, premium is the way to go, but the choice is yours.

Whodathunkit! I find your site because of a link that Leo posted. Start reading from the link and “hey, that name looks familiar.” click the link and ….oh boy! I fell through a warp portal and have ended up here.
I agree with your sentiments about not sharing your sites with just anybody because that can lead to people getting into your niche territory and thereby raising your competition. Reading your Review on a binary job and your About Me has been invigorating, to say the least. I’ll be back.

Nathaniell
Yeah, 10000 people can read my website but it takes just one DB to copy my site and muscle in on my income. I do share A LOT of my niche sites for premium members of WA now, especially yearly people, but I still do keep my big income earners secret. I try my best to be transparent, but I don’t see a need to expose myself to too much risk in this arena!
Russell
What are some of the websites you’ve put together and are promoting? I’d like to see them.
Nathaniell
Sorry Russell, I don’t reveal my niche websites for privacy reasons. For premium members of WA I DO reveal some old websites which no longer make much money, but my main sites I keep for myself. I earn my income from these, so I’m sure you can imagine I don’t want thousands of people every day investigating my sites and trying to reverse engineer them!
Greg
Hey sounds just like my son except he did high school,four years collage, prauge,English teacher and yea if you mean central california yea that too what kind of money are you talking about making here
Nathaniell
I don’t reveal my income numbers for privacy reasons, but a full time income is possible from online marketing. I got ALL of your other comments, so will answer your questions here.
1. I make a full time income from my websites, about 3-4 make decent income and couple of others not that much.
2. Most of my websites are NON WA affiliated. I understand your concern, but I do not appreciate being accused of running a pyramid scheme. I make it very clear that members can make websites promoting ANY products they want, including products from Amazon.
3. Please give me at least 24 hours to moderate comments.
I hope to see you finish the free lessons you can can see how the website gets built and how to choose a topic for your website Greg!

Hi Nathaniel,
Re sailing……..see if you can connect with Ellen Macarthur (UK, around-the-world-sailor). Founder of the EllenMacarthur Foundation about circular economies.
Both of you have the same SUPER inventive spirit, creativity and honesty.
All my best and keep up the good work.
