Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are discovering new opportunities to profit from areas like providing online courses and e-learning.
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 e-Learning Industry Is Growing
e-Learning marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the eTraining industry is growing at an astounding rate every year.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 ecourses on every subject imaginable, from business and personal development, to creativity and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy.com offers 30,000+ courses online covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to gain practical skills, but also for individuals that have something valuable that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Learning – Opportunities And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning e-courses include:
- Working out delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that course students can intuitively use to get trained,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student scores,
- Providing reports, certificates of completion
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors such as the lack of human contact, lack of student motivation, distractions, etc.
Online Learning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your business online, creating products that teach people useful things is a great way to attract new subscribers and develop a new stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your niche or industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every topic imaginable can be turned into an e-learning product.
(Got skills, knowledge or a passion for photography, horticulture or technical writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. If you have been 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 a cost-effective way to create e-courses and your site is built with WordPress, then here is a powerful plugin you should check out.
