Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are finding new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
Electronic learning (e-Learning) is is the modern equivalent of distance learning, where students do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
Online training marketplaces like Udemy show that the e-Training industry is growing at an astounding rate every year.
Udemy provides 30,000+ ecourses covering all topics, from office productivity and leadership, to courses about religion & spirituality and language learning, etc …
(Udemy provides over 30,000 e-courses covering every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the eTraining industry is growing is not only great for people looking to acquire commercial skills and competency in areas of interest, but also for businesses that have valuable information to teach.
e-Courses – Benefits And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing effective online training courses include:
- Figuring out the best delivery method,
- Employing popular tools and technologies that learners can use immediately to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
Additionally, you need to take into account important factors such as the lack of face-to-face interaction, lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your business online, creating training courses that help people learn new skills is a great way to grow a list and develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost every imaginable topic can be taught online.

The problem is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch can take a lot of time. If you have been online for a while, however, you already have loads of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
