Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like online training and education.
eTraining is is the technological equivalent of distance learning, where students have no direct face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
e-Learning course sites like Udemy.com are strong indicators of the growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy.com offers 30,000+ courses online covering all topics, from marketing and personal finance, to courses on creativity and photography, etc …
(Udemy currently offers over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to gain practical knowledge and skills, but also for businesses that have something valuable that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits & Drawbacks
The internet provides benefits and opportunities for creating and selling ecourses, but there are also significant challenges.:
- Figuring out training content delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools that students can use intuitively to start learning,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student scores,
- Generating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors like the lack of face-to-face contact, potential lack of student motivation, loss of focus, etc.
e-Training – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your web presence, creating an e-learning product that helps people gain practical skills is a great way to grow a list or monetize your website. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Every subject where there is interest and demand to learn can be taught online.
(Got a business built around commercial photography, horticulture or creative writing? Turn it into an e-training course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. If you have been marketing yourself online for a while, however, you probably already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If you’re searching for an inexpensive way to create and sell etraining products and your website is built with WordPress, then let me introduce you to a powerful courseware solution that can help you.
