Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning, or “e-learning,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
Online training marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the e-Training industry is growing at an astronomical rate year on year.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 ecourses covery every topic imaginable, from web development and personal development, to courses about parenting & relationships and language learning, etc …
(Udemy provides 30,000+ e-courses on every topic imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have unique and valuable content that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Courses – Benefits And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing courses online include:
- Figuring out training delivery methods,
- Employing familiar tools that students can instinctively use to ,
- Ensuring consistent methods are applied throughout content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Assessing student performance,
- Providing useful reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of human contact, lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), distracting environments, etc.
e-Courses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to expand your business online, creating e-courses that teach people useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be turned into an online training course.
(Got an interest or passion for photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an elearning course!)
The problem is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. If you have been marketing yourself online for a while, however, you already have loads of useful training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new product.
If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to create and sell an online training product and your website is driven by WordPress, then let me introduce you to a powerful courseware plugin that can help you.
