Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning, or “elearning,” is is the modern equivalent of distance learning, where students do not have face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
e-Learning course marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the e-Learning industry is growing at a massive rate every year.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 courses online covering all topics, from office productivity and career development, to parenting & relationships and motivation, etc …
(Udemy offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have unique content that can help transform the lives of others.
eTraining – Opportunities & Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of developing online courses include:
- Figuring out the best training delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that don’t require a time-consuming learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency of standards used in the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Assessing student scores,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account factors such as lack of face-to-face interaction, boredom, distracting environments, etc.
Online Learning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating a course that helps people learn useful skills is a great way to attract new subscribers and monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract customers, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Anything can be taught online.

The problem is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch can be very time-consuming. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have plenty of great training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If your website is driven by WordPress and you’re searching for an inexpensive way to create and sell e-courses then there’s a great courseware solution that you should check out.
