Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like providing e-training courses and e-learning.
Electronic training (eTraining) is based on the concept of distance learning, where students have no direct face-to-face contact with the teacher or trainer.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online teaching sites like Udemy show that the eLearning industry is growing.
Udemy currently offers 30,000+ courses online covering all topics, from design and personal transformation, to health and fitness and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy.com currently offers over 30,000 courses online covering every topic imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to gain practical knowledge in useful things, but also for individuals that have valuable knowledge that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Courses – Opportunities And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of developing training courses online include:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Employing popular tools and technologies that do not require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Grading scores,
- Providing useful reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, boredom and lack of student motivation, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eTraining – A World Of Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell digital products, creating training products that help people gain practical knowledge and skills is a great way to attract new subscribers or develop an online stream of revenue. Product creation is one of the best ways to build a customer base, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about every imaginable subject can be turned into an elearning course.

(Got a business or passion for commercial photography, gardening or copywriting? Turn it into an e-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 the building blocks of great content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If your site is driven by WordPress and you are searching for a cost-effective way to create and sell an online training course then there’s a great solution that can help you.
