Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning, or “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
Online teaching marketplaces like Udemy are indicative of the growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy.com provides over 30,000 e-courses covering all topics, from web development and growing your influence, to courses about parenting & relationships and music, etc …
(Udemy.com offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics!)
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 new skills, but also for individuals that have unique educational content to teach others.
e-Training – Benefits & Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning and developing effective online training courses include:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Using popular tools that students can use to access the training content,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Grading student scores,
- Providing useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face interaction, potential lack of student motivation, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to expand your business online, creating an e-course that helps people learn useful skills is a great way to attract new subscribers and develop a new stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, 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 subject can be taught online.
(Got skills, knowledge or a passion for commercial photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have plenty of great content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If your website is driven by WordPress and you are searching for an inexpensive way to create ecourses then here is a great solution you should check out.
