e-Courses – Opportunities And Challenges
The internet provides many great opportunities and technologies for creating and selling e-training courses, but there are also a number of challenges and drawbacks.:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Employing familiar tools and technologies that don’t require spending extra time learning,
- Ensuring consistent standards are applied throughout content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Grading student performance,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account factors like lack of human contact, boredom, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell information-based products, creating an ecourse that teaches people new skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. 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 or industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about every imaginable topic can be taught online.

The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, that if you have been marketing yourself online for a while, you probably already have the building blocks of great training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new product.
