Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are now finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like online training and education.
eTraining is is the digital equivalent of distance learning, where students have no direct face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
Online training sites like Udemy are strong indicators of the tremendous growth of the e-Learning industry.
Udemy currently offers over 30,000 courses online covering all topics, from design and personal finance, to courses on better parenting and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy.com offers 30,000+ ecourses on every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
Online Courses – Opportunities & Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning and developing effective e-training courses include:
- Figuring out the best training delivery method,
- Using popular tools and technologies that learners can use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of human contact, learner boredom, potential lack of focus, etc.
eTraining – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell information-based products, creating e-courses that teach people commercial subjects in areas of high interest is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Product creation 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. Anything can be turned into an etraining course.

(Got a passion or interest in photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. If you have been online for a while, however, you probably already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital training product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to develop e-courses and your website is driven by WordPress, then there’s a great solution that you may want to consider using on your site.
