I’d been living in Hanoi, Vietnam for eighteen months and lockdown had just ended so I couldn’t wait to go out for a drink to celebrate, but that night I decided to go home early to watch a webinar I’d signed up for, hosted by Nathan & Hannah Buchan, who are the owners and founders of The Creative Platform, formally known as Wired Creatives, (before a recent re-branding and renaming).
What is the Creatives Platform?
You may have already heard of ‘WorldNate’ and ‘Intrepid Introvert’, Nate and Hannah’s websites; for over five years they have been travelling the world, visiting 35 countries and earning all the money they need to do this by working online.
The Creatives Platform is an Educational Hub for Aspiring Digital Nomads
One day an ad popped up on my newsfeed that said “How to Start a Blog for the Price of a Coffee, which really sparked my interest, because for years I’d had this niggling feeling that I wanted to do something more with my life other than teach. I was in Vietnam teaching fashion, but my real passion was sustainability, not just in the context of the fashion industry, but in the context of the world as a whole. I wanted to save the planet!
This thought got me really fired up and after watching the webinar, I got really excited, and felt confident about the possibility of starting my own website. I have an MA in Ethical Fashion, and since moving to Vietnam I had started to live more sustainably and change my habits; I’d changed the way I shopped, what I ate, how I travelled and I tried to avoid unnecessary contact with chemicals in my daily life, so I knew I had something to share and knowledge that others could benefit from and I really enjoy writing, so it seemed like a win-win idea.
For about a week afterwards I couldn’t stop thinking about what my niche would be if I was to take the idea seriously, because this is one of the things Hannah and Nate talked about in the webinar. After mulling it over in my head and with my friends I decided to sign up for the Get Branded Mastery Course. Hannah and Nate were really easy to relate to and were also really knowledgeable so I totally trusted them and the webinar had already made me feel that the course would be high-quality and worth the investment.
What’s Included in The Course?
The course is really detailed with step-by-step instructions, but what I loved about it most is that it was perfect for a total beginner like me; it takes you through identifying your niche, branding, audience, social media, building a website, selling products and services and into marketing and how to monetize your business.
Each lesson is shown in video, mp3 and you can download the transcript as well as workbook sheets to note down your ideas and help you implement what you’ve learnt. At the end of each session, you can comment with your ideas and respond to others in the community. I had some really encouraging feedback at the beginning which really spurred me on.
It took me about eight months to complete the course, which is a long time but you can go at your own pace; after each video I’d stop to digest the information before finalising my responses and halfway through I took time out to devote to designing and setting up my website.
The course is very thorough and nine months down the line, I still keep going back to watch or re-read some of the session transcripts because the resources really cover everything you need to know to grow your business at different stages along the road.
There’s plenty of content in the course for those that have already started but want to grow their business, but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have succeeded if it wasn’t for the Get Branded Mastery Course, it really helped me de-scramble my ideas and start thinking in a business-minded way.

How Easy is it to Get Help?
When I started the course I was a complete beginner, a blank canvas, an empty page, technically illiterate, social-media unsavvy….you get my drift, so a real plus when signing up was that I became part of a private Facebook community and each month there were live Q & A sessions you could tune into to get extra support. These sessions are recorded so you can go back and watch them again later, along with some info on PDF slides. For anything else I needed to know, the admin team were there to help with any problems I had.

How has the Creatives Platform helped me?
If like me, you have an idea and want to turn it into an online business, be your own boss and set your own agenda, then I can’t recommend this course more; it’s really practical and suitable for any business idea, you just need to relate each tutorial to your personal ideas and goals. One year ago, I would never have believed that I would have a website where I’d be writing full-time about the things I’m passionate about, connecting with sustainable brands and Facebook groups of like-minded people and selling my first ever sustainable fashion collection online. As well as that I have become an Ambassador for the Creatives Platform!
