Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are now finding new niches to profit from in areas like providing online training and e-learning management systems.
e-Learning is is the technological equivalent of distance learning, where students don’t have direct face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Training Industry Is Growing
eTraining sites like Udemy are indicative of the growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy offers 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics, from web development and personal skills, to courses on health and fitness and photography, etc …
(Udemy.com offers over 30,000 e-courses covering every topic imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for businesses that have valuable educational content that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits And Challenges
The digital medium provides many useful technologies and a great environment for creating training courses online, but there are also a number of drawbacks and challenges.:
- Figuring out methods of delivering training,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that course students can use intuitively to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency of methods used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Assessing scores,
- Providing reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, lack of motivation (e.g. boredom), loss of focus, etc.
eTraining – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to develop and sell information-based products, creating an e-course that helps people learn commercial subjects in strong interest 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, 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 a passion or interest in commercial photography, horticulture or writing sales copy? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. If you have been online for a while, however, you already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If your website is built with WordPress and you plan to create and sell an online training course, there’s an inexpensive and powerful courseware plugin that you need to know about.
