About Me

I was the operator. Now I'm out front.

I'm Diane Corriette, and for most of my career I was the operator — the person behind the scenes who ran everything. I built other people's websites, systems and online presence while they stood at the front. I was good at it, and it paid well.

I don't talk about money much, but I'll be plain about it, because people keep mistaking me for a beginner: I've made good money, over and over. I'm not waiting to make my first £5k. I've done that several times. The catch was always the same, though - every penny came from selling my time. The day I stopped, the money stopped.

So this is what I'm building now: monthly recurring income from a single site selling digital products. No stage, no teaching, no group coaching - nothing that trades my hours for income, unless I choose to. A handful of sites that sell on their own, and a small group of people who genuinely love what I do. My 1,000 true fans.

To build it, I had to come out from behind the screen. At 57 I learned to code and built Djangify, the system my sites run on, with AI as my assistant. Now I'm the one out front — building in public and documenting the climb, wins and mistakes both left in. Not a five-year plan. Just the next thing, in service of owning something that's finally mine.
