Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like providing teaching and training courses online and e-learning.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners have no direct face-to-face contact with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
Online learning sites like Udemy.com are indicative of the tremendous growth of the e-Learning industry.
Udemy offers 30,000+ ecourses on every topic imaginable, from IT & software and personal brand building, to religion & spirituality and improving memory & study skills, etc …
(Udemy.com provides 30,000+ e-courses on every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the eLearning industry is growing and that anything can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for individuals that have unique and valuable content to share with others.
eCourses – Benefits & Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning e-courses include:
- Working out methods of delivery,
- Using popular tools that don’t require spending extra time learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student performance,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
You also need to take into account important factors like lack of face-to-face interaction, potential lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), distractions, etc.
e-Learning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating an e-learning product that teaches people useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop another stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be turned into a “how-to” course.
(Got an interest or business built around photography, landscaping or technical writing? Turn it into an online training course!)
The problem is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. If you have been online for a while, however, you probably already have loads of great content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If your site is powered by WordPress and you want to develop e-training courses, there’s an inexpensive and powerful plugin that can help you.
