Young professionals as well as students find these courses interesting because of the designers’ relevant teaching approaches and personal experiences. We investigate the reasons for these influencers’ entry into education in this post as well as why students are using their preferred YouTubers and Instagram influencers to improve their skill set.
What Motivated Influencers to Start Their Courses?
These bloggers frequently start their path into the field of education from their own experiences and the need to provide insightful information to a larger audience. For example, eminent entrepreneur and content producer Ankur Warikoo started his path of content production more than 15 years ago.

Warikoo broadened his offers during the epidemic, when individuals had more time to engage in online learning, by holding seminars on subjects such as co-founder search, money raising, and team development. The strong reaction he received from his students motivated him to organize his lessons into set courses. Likewise, other influencers saw the chance to close the knowledge difference between job seekers and young professionals. They created courses that combine real-world experience with useful information, therefore transforming the learning process from interesting to useful. Here is a closer review of some of the best courses these modern digital teachers provide:
