Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic training (eTraining) is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners have no face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
e-Learning sites like Udemy.com show that the eTraining industry is growing.
Udemy currently offers 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics, from web design and personal skills, to religion & spirituality and music, etc …
(Udemy.com provides over 30,000 e-courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have something valuable to share with others.
eLearning – Benefits & Challenges
The internet provides tools and technologies for developing and selling e-courses, but there are also a number of drawbacks and challenges.:
- Figuring out methods of delivery,
- Using familiar tools that learners can use intuitively to get trained,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of human contact, student boredom, distracting environments, etc.
eLearning – A World Of Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell information-based products, creating an etraining course that helps people learn useful subjects is a great way to attract new subscribers or monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Anything can be taught online.
(Got an interest or business built around commercial photography, landscaping or technical writing? Turn it into an e-learning course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. Chances are, however, that if you have been online for a while, you probably already have training content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new online training product.
If you are searching for an inexpensive way to develop training courses and your site is built using WordPress, then there is a great solution that can help you.
