Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are discovering new opportunities to profit from areas like online training and education.
Electronic training (e-Training) is based on the concept of distance learning, where students have no face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
eLearning marketplaces like Udemy are strong indicators of the tremendous growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy offers over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics, from web development and personal transformation, to parenting & relationships and motivation, etc …
(Udemy offers 30,000+ online courses covering every topic imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for businesses that have something unique that can help transform the lives of others.
eTraining – Opportunities And Challenges
The digital medium provides benefits and opportunities for creating online training courses, but there are also significant challenges and drawbacks.:
- Figuring out methods of delivery,
- Using familiar tools that don’t require taking on an additional learning curve,
- Ensuring consistent standards are used throughout the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Assessing scores,
- Providing reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account important factors like lack of face-to-face interaction, potential lack of student motivation (e.g. boredom), loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are a digital product creator, creating e-courses that teach practical things is a great way to attract new subscribers or develop another stream of revenue. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as 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 online training course.
(Got a passion for photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an online training product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, that if you have been marketing yourself online for a while, you probably already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If your website is built using WordPress and you plan to develop and sell an online training course, there’s a cost-effective and professional courseware plugin that can help you.
