Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning, or “e-learning,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students do not have direct face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
eTraining marketplaces like Udemy.com are strong indicators of the tremendous growth of the e-Learning industry.
Udemy provides 30,000+ ecourses on every subject imaginable, from web design and growing your influence, to better parenting and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy.com provides 30,000+ courses online on every subject imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have unique and valuable content to share with others.
eTraining – Benefits And Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning e-learning courses include:
- Working out delivery methods,
- Using familiar tools that don’t require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistency of methods used in the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Assessing student performance,
- Creating reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face contact, learner boredom, lack of focus, etc.
eLearning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating an ecourse that helps people acquire useful skills is a great way to attract new subscribers or monetize your website. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about every subject imaginable can be turned into an online training course.
(Got skills, knowledge or business interest in photography, gardening or technical writing? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. Chances are, however, that if you have been marketing your business online for a while, you already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If your site is built using WordPress and you plan to develop and sell ecourses, there’s a cost-effective and powerful courseware solution you may want to consider adding to your site.
