Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online training and education.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
eLearning course marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the eTraining industry is growing at a tremendous rate each year.
Udemy.com provides 30,000+ ecourses covery every topic imaginable, from web development and career development, to stress management and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy provides 30,000+ ecourses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have something unique to teach.
e-Courses – Opportunities And Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing e-courses include:
- Working out methods of delivering training,
- Employing easy-to-use tools and technologies that learners can instinctively use to get trained,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account important factors like lack of human contact, boredom and potential lack of motivation, potential lack of focus, etc.
e-Learning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell information-based products, creating e-training products that help people gain useful skills is a great way to grow a list or monetize your website. Creating products is one of the best ways to build a customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every imaginable topic can be taught online.

Chances are, however, that if you have been marketing yourself online for a while, you already have loads of useful content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to develop training products and your site is built with WordPress, then here is a powerful solution you may want to consider adding to your site.
