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 (e-Learning) is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners do not have direct face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online training sites like Udemy are strong indicators of the explosive growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy provides over 30,000 online courses covering all topics, from design and building self-esteem, to happiness and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy offers over 30,000 online courses on every subject imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have valuable knowledge that can help transform the lives of others.

- Using popular tools that do not require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistency of methods used in content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing scores,
- Generating reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of face-to-face interaction, boredom, loss of focus, etc.
e-Learning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating an etraining product that helps people gain practical knowledge and skills is a great way to grow a list and monetize your website. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to build a customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your niche or industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be taught online.
(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in fashion photography, landscaping or writing sales copy? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. Chances are, however, that if you have been online for a while, you already have loads of great 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 create and sell etraining products, there’s an inexpensive and professional plugin that can help you.
