Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic training (eTraining) is based on the concept of distance learning, where students don’t have face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
e-Learning course sites like Udemy are indicative of the growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy currently offers over 30,000 online courses on every topic imaginable, from marketing and building self-esteem, to courses about religion & spirituality and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy offers over 30,000 e-courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for businesses that have unique and valuable information to share with others.
eLearning – Benefits & Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of developing e-courses include:
- Figuring out the best training content delivery methods,
- Using popular tools that course students can use immediately to access the training content,
- Ensuring consistency of methods delivered across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Grading student performance,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face interaction, boredom, loss of focus, etc.
eLearning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a digital product creator, creating products that teach people practical things is a great way to attract new subscribers or monetize your website. 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 taught online.
(Got a business or passion for photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an online training course!)
The problem is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. Chances are, 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 and sell e-training courses and your site is built with WordPress, then here’s a great solution that can help you.
