What You Can Learn From YouTube
Do you know you can learn absolutely anything on YouTube? From website designing to all sorts of life hacks can be learnt from the platform.
YouTube is currently the hub of e-learning, where anyone can learn anything. There is no limitation of what you can learn, and guess what? It only costs data. Also, YouTube has created an avenue when people can pass on their knowledge and get paid based on the views they amass.
Trust me, if you are not learning anything new from YouTube you are not qualified to buy data. Jokes apart, subscribing for data without learning at least one new skill or gaining new knowledge from YouTube monthly, is cheating yourself.
Make it habitual to learn something new from YouTube. Some of the little things I see people profusely beg others to do for them and they pay for it, they can learn it themselves for free.
How to Learn on YouTube
Just like any school, you need dedication and interest to learn from YouTube. With zeal and interest, you can learn whatever you desire.
One advantage of YouTube is that unlike the conventional school setting that limits the knowledge you can acquire to your course of study; or online courses in which lack of funds can hinder your quest for knowledge, via YouTube you can learn spontaneously without incurring financial burden.
A friend of mine, during the lockdown, learnt web designing via YouTube. Today he works at a tech firm. Before that, he was fresh out of school and jobless.
