Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are discovering new opportunities to profit from areas like online training and education.
Electronic learning, or “e-learning,” is is the modern equivalent of distance learning, where students don’t have face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
e-Training marketplaces like Udemy show that the eTraining industry is growing.
Udemy offers over 30,000 courses online on every subject imaginable, from IT & software and growing your influence, to courses on better parenting and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy.com currently offers 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have something unique that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Learning – Benefits & Drawbacks
The digital medium provides tools and technologies for developing e-courses, but there are also significant drawbacks.:
- Figuring out training delivery methods,
- Using popular tools that do not require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Generating useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face contact, learner boredom, lack of focus, etc.
e-Courses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating e-learning courses that help people gain the skills they need to advance further is a great way to attract new subscribers and develop a new stream of revenue. Product creation is one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be turned into an e-course.

(Got a passion for commercial photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If your site is driven by WordPress and you are searching for a cost-effective way to create teaching products then there’s a great plugin you should look into.
