Udemy currently offers over 30,000 courses online on every subject imaginable, from internet marketing and building self-esteem, to health and fitness and making better lifestyle choices, etc …

The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for businesses that have unique and valuable information to share with others.
e-Learning – Opportunities And Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning online training courses include:
- Figuring out training content delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools that learners can intuitively use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Assessing scores,
- Generating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors such as the lack of face-to-face contact, boredom, distracting environments, etc.
e-Learning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating a course that teaches practical things is a great way to grow a list or develop a new stream of revenue. Product creation is one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every subject where there is interest and demand to learn can be taught online.
(Got an interest or business built around fashion photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an e-course!)
