Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are discovering new opportunities to profit from areas like online education.
eTraining is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
e-Training sites like Udemy are indicative of the explosive growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy offers over 30,000 ecourses on every subject imaginable, from design and personal development, to happiness and music, etc …
(Udemy.com provides over 30,000 online courses on every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing and that any subject can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for businesses that have unique and valuable information to share with others.
eCourses – Opportunities & Drawbacks
The digital medium provides loads of technologies and opportunities for creating online training courses, but there are also significant challenges and drawbacks.:
- Figuring out training delivery methods,
- Employing popular tools that don’t require an additional learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Assessing student performance,
- Generating reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of human contact, boredom, distractions, etc.
eLearning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your business online, creating a learning product that teaches people subjects in strong demand is a great way to grow a list and develop another stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be taught online.
(Got an interest or business built around photography, landscaping or technical writing? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. Chances are, however, that if you have been online for a while, you probably already have content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to develop and sell online training products and your website is built using WordPress, then here’s a powerful plugin you may want to consider using on your site.
