Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like providing online courses and e-learning management systems.
e-Training is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners don’t have direct face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
Online teaching marketplaces like Udemy show that the eTraining industry is growing at an astounding rate every year.
Udemy provides 30,000+ e-courses covery every subject imaginable, from IT & software and personal brand building, to courses about building healthy relationships and motivation, etc …
(Udemy.com offers over 30,000 e-courses covering every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Training industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for businesses that have something to teach others.
e-Learning – Benefits And Challenges
The digital medium provides many useful tools and a great environment for creating and selling online courses, but there are also many challenges and drawbacks.:
- Working out training delivery methods,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that do not require spending additional time learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, boredom and potential lack of motivation, distracting environments, etc.
e-Learning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating an ecourse that helps people acquire practical knowledge and skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list or develop a new stream of revenue. Product creation is one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Anything can be taught online.
(Got skills, knowledge or business interest in fashion photography, gardening or writing sales copy? 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. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new digital training product.
If your site is built using WordPress and you want to develop an online training course, there’s a cost-effective and professional solution that can help you.
