Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like online training and education.
eTraining is is the digital equivalent of distance learning, where students don’t have face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
eLearning sites like Udemy.com are indicative of the explosive growth of the eTraining industry.
Udemy offers over 30,000 online courses covering all topics, from web development and personal development, to better parenting and music, etc …
(Udemy offers 30,000+ online courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have unique and valuable information to share with others.
e-Learning – Benefits And Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of developing training courses online include:
- Working out the best way to deliver training content,
- Employing easy-to-use tools and technologies that students can intuitively use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistency across the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Grading student performance,
- Providing reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account factors such as the lack of human contact, learner boredom, distracting environments, etc.
eTraining – A World Of Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell information products, creating e-learning courses that help people acquire practical knowledge is a great way to attract new subscribers and monetize your website. Creating products 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 industry or niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Every subject imaginable can be taught online.
(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in photography, horticulture or technical writing? Turn it into an training product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. Chances are, however, you probably already have plenty of great content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If you’re searching for an inexpensive way to develop ecourses and your site is driven by WordPress, then let me introduce you to a great plugin you should look into.
