Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic training, or “e-training,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
e-Learning marketplaces like Udemy are strong indicators of the explosive growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 e-courses covering all topics, from design and personal productivity, to courses on building healthy relationships and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy currently offers 30,000+ courses online covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for businesses that have something valuable that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits And Drawbacks
The digital medium provides tools and technologies for creating e-courses. Training performance-boosting tools include Learning Management Systems (LMS), online videos, video-conferencing apps, audio courses, PDF reports, online forums, etc. There are, however, some challenges when it comes to planning, developing and implementing effective training courses online.
Some of these include:
- Figuring out the best training delivery methods,
- Using familiar tools that do not require investing additional effort, money or time in a new learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Assessing student scores,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, student boredom, distractions, etc.
e-Courses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating products that teach people useful subjects is a great way to attract new subscribers and develop an online stream of revenue. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Every subject imaginable can be turned into an online training course.

The problem is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. If you have been marketing yourself online for a while, however, you already have loads of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to create an online training course and your site is driven by WordPress, there’s a powerful plugin that can help you.
