What works on which platform and why? The coach will guide you through the advantages and challenges of several platforms.

You find your place and audience

Step by step, you develop your own online identity and audience, guided by our coaches.

You build a network

You become part of a group of people with similar goals, on which you may count in the future.

But you are not alone: you will stay in touch with your peers and you will receive feedback from the coach in an online follow-up session.
