It is natural for professionals and potential students alike to maximise their potential by learning new skills which are most relevant “right now.” Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency exchanges, and the required technology — know-how & how-to courses are selling like hotcakes.
Forex trading, Investments, stock trading, and various other aspects of finance, including banking processes, are also trending topics due to their high demand. Although the recent ruling against cryptocurrency in a few countries has dampened the shine, it is still a significant draw among learners.

Courses based on technology like AI, Cloud, Data Science, Robotics, Automation, Mobile App design, and coding languages like R & Python are extremely in high demand. The key aspect is that students are looking forward to data science, automation & cloud courses more, and languages like HTML, CSS, and Java, etc., are highly revered.
#4: Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is in demand is an understatement. Hence, it is obvious that courses that teach entrepreneurship, business skills, investments, startup ecosystems, and business management are doing really well. However, with so many courses being available, the quality of content is highly critical. As such, learners are always looking for the latest information from established entrepreneurs who have established themselves as credible entrepreneurs.
#5 – Vocational Skills
Making passive income or side hustles is what is driving people to learn a new skill. Be it culinary, creative arts, repairing stuff, teaching creativity, or just learning new age skills that help learners start their career path in their preferred domain, make career changes, or simply make money. You’ve got a skill to teach; there will be a learner for it!
#6 – Marketing

Hence, it’s not uncommon to see that the learners who pick up entrepreneurship courses pick up the other and vice versa.

Those interested in entrepreneurship naturally seek out these courses to become successful entrepreneurs themselves.
#7 – Creative writing
Mobile, website, blogs, social media posts, ebooks, actual books, articles, newspaper journals, ghost-writing. There are many career opportunities in writing creatively and as a profession, and learners want to cash in on them. Every online business now relies on access to the internet and Google services in one form or the other; quality courses that teach great content writing skills are scarce and in high demand. However, access to prominent writers is scarce. Online course business bridges that gap. Content that interactively meets the needs of anyone aspiring to be a writer does really well.

The fashion, beauty, & lifestyle industry across the world is the biggest industry in the world. The industry can be further subdivided into skincare, haircare, makeup, fragrances, toiletries, accessories, clotheslines, footwear, and more. The demand will always be there simply because of the huge space for it.
Mobile internet is highly accessible now, and as the preferred mode of learning for most online course learners, there are learners in every space. There are no limitations to what you can create a course for. The only restriction to the whole aspect would be your imagination.
