WWW - Went Well Wednesday - July 8th 2026
I have had a great week. The results are slow but regular right now. I described having to build your online profile like pushing a snowball uphill. It builds slowly. But when you get to the top and push it down suddenly there is real momentum and it builds quickly and huge!
Still fiddling with building stuff - but I do feel like I am at the end of it. The biggest thing was getting Claude working INSIDE of Djangify.
Now, when I set up a new store I can give Claude a run down of what the site is about and it will fill in the majority of what needs to be done, including writing a few blog posts. Stuff it won't touch relates to secret keys and information it shouldn't have.
I have also decided that Pinterest and YouTube are my main two sources with Substack being a third that I am still not 100% sure about.
DJANGIFY AND OTHER WORK
While I am not promoting it I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with Inspirational Guidance of not having an audience ready - or at least having an audience but not telling them what I am doing.
So the Coach Who Codes YouTube will go live and its mainly to help with promoting how I use Djangify and AI. I am sending everyone to my main portfolio todiane.com
UPDATING SEARCH CONSOLE
My site in search console identified issues with the way search engines are reading my schema-ld and what I do. Its all very dull but important - if the search engines don't know who I am they won't recommend me - anyway, I fixed it so everything is clear.
OUTREARCH ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The idea behind being an Independent Digital Business is that we need to bring people to us. That is why I encourage owning your "land" - the place that people land on should belong to you. Platforms, market places and social media - that's where we go to find our people and bring them back to our own site. Outreach is a great way to do that, but it hasn't been fun, more like another step to help me move forward. Reading replies from people looking for what I offer and sending a DM. Sometimes you get a response and most times you don't!!! I only spend 2 hours maximum on this right now.
TRAINING / MENTORING
I have been attending every open session offered by Arlan Hamilton. Monday is Sales. Tuesday is Arlan herself. Wednesday is YouTube etc. Every day you get to be online with an expert and get help / ask questions. It is really late for me though. Sometimes 1am - 2.30am which is messing with my sleep and not sustainable. Replays are not always guaranteed and you can't ask questions if you are not there!
Results so far in week 5
My EEAT profile is now working and at least now when you search my name it isn't a bunch of random comments I made from 2015 (although a couple still remain). Now my work comes up and that means I no longer need to focus on this.
This group is now indexed by the search engines so people can now find me using this Skool group. This means it is time to write search led articles around my main keywords and topics
My email list has an additional 12 people this week - all for Inspirational Guidance
I set up todiane.com to be my main page from YouTube because it always works well when you just have one place you want people to do.
I have not been very active on Substack but still managed to get 3 new subscribers. Substack will also turn into a place for me to talk about my personal brand.
I feel like everything is in place now. My video set up is ready. I have my topics. I know who I am talking to and I know what content I am putting out, where and when.
Now all I have to do is rinse and repeat. Videos, audio, YouTube with Substack and Pinterest for Inspirational Guidance only.
This week is all about video content and nothing else.

Running an experiment: can building an audience be what makes digital products sell? Using eCommerce software I built myself & documenting as I go.
