Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning, or “e-learning,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
eTraining marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the eTraining industry is growing at an astounding rate.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 e-courses on every subject imaginable, from web design and personal skills, to courses about better parenting and music, etc …
(Udemy.com provides 30,000+ courses online covering all topics!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing and that so many subjects can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have something unique that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Training – Benefits And Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing effective e-courses include:
- Figuring out methods of delivery,
- Using popular tools that course students can use immediately to ,
- Ensuring consistent standards are applied throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, boredom, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eLearning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating a training course that helps people acquire useful skills is a great way to grow a list and develop another stream of revenue. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to build a customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be taught online.
(Got an interest or business built around commercial photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you already have the building blocks of great training content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If your site is built with WordPress and you’re searching for a cost-effective way to develop and sell e-learning courses here’s a powerful WP solution that can help you.
