Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are finding new opportunities to profit from in areas like providing online training and e-learning systems.
Electronic training, or “e-training,” is is the technological equivalent of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online education marketplaces like Udemy are strong indicators of the massive growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy.com offers 30,000+ courses online covering all topics, from web design and personal transformation, to courses about religion & spirituality and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy offers over 30,000 e-courses on every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing and that any subject can be taught online is not only great for people looking to gain practical skills, but also for individuals that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Training – Benefits & Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning ecourses include:
- Figuring out delivery methods,
- Employing familiar tools that students can intuitively use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency of standards in the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Creating useful reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account factors like lack of face-to-face contact, boredom and lack of motivation, distractions, etc.
eCourses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your business online, creating an e-course that helps people gain useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche or industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be taught online.

(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in commercial photography, horticulture or writing sales copy? Turn it into an e-training course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a training product.
If your site is driven by WordPress and you’re searching for an inexpensive way to create ecourses there’s a powerful plugin that you may want to look into.
