Index Top Experts/Competition in our marketplace

[shervine]

@grumo In order to define our niche and #1336 we'd need to research the industry and find:

• Top Experts Educating people in various platforms (Blogs, YouTube, Udemy, etc...)
• Top Competing educational platforms that offer learning material on these niche topics (Websites, Apps, etc...)

I suggest the three topics we research to be:

1. Javascript - Worked on Issue #1378
2. Python
3. Blockchain #1397 (Ethereum, Solidity, Smarts Contracts, BlockGeeks #1396)
4. Videography: Phil Ebiner Video/Photography Marketplace.

Then from these 4 options, we can decide how to #1336

TODO

• [ ] Find to 20-30 world experts in each topic
• [ ] Create their CRM profiles and share the summary of your research on their profiles
• [ ] Create new funnels for each of the topics above in CRM to organize target instructors
• [ ] Add the competition you find to our Competition Analysis
