Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like providing online training and elearning systems.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online learning marketplaces like Udemy show that the e-Learning industry is growing at a massive rate each year.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics, from internet marketing and personal brand building, to religion & spirituality and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy.com currently offers 30,000+ online courses covering all topics!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to gain the skills they need, but also for businesses that have something valuable to share.
eLearning – Benefits & Challenges
The digital medium provides benefits and opportunities for creating e-learning courses, but there are also many drawbacks.:
- Working out the best methods to deliver content,
- Employing easy-to-use tools and technologies that don’t require an additional learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student scores,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors like lack of face-to-face contact, learner boredom, loss of focus, etc.
e-Courses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating e-courses that teach useful subjects is a great way to grow a subscriber list or monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Anything can be turned into an ecourse.
(Got a passion or interest in photography, landscaping or copywriting? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you probably already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a training product.
If your site is built using WordPress and you would like to develop an online training course, there’s a cost-effective and professional courseware plugin that can help you.
