Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like online training and education.
e-Training is is the technological equivalent of distance learning, where learners do not have face-to-face contact with the teacher or trainer.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
e-Training course sites like Udemy show that the e-Learning industry is growing.
Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 e-courses on every topic imaginable, from web design and career development, to courses on creativity and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy.com provides 30,000+ online courses covering all topics!)
The fact that the eTraining industry is growing and that anything can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for businesses that have valuable knowledge that can help transform the lives of others.
eLearning – Benefits And Drawbacks
The digital medium provides benefits and opportunities for developing and selling e-courses, but there are also many drawbacks and challenges.:
- Figuring out the best way to deliver training content,
- Employing easy-to-use tools that learners can instinctively use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student scores,
- Creating reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account important factors like the lack of face-to-face interaction, potential lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), loss of focus, etc.
eTraining – A World Of Possibilities
If you are a digital product creator, creating an ecourse that helps people gain practical knowledge is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Creating products is one of the best ways to build a customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every imaginable subject can be taught online.
(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in photography, gardening or creative writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
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 the building blocks of great training content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new online training product.
If your site is driven by WordPress and you plan to develop and sell ecourses, there’s a cost-effective and powerful solution you may want to consider.
