Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like online education.
e-Training is based on the concept of distance learning, where students don’t have face-to-face contact with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
eTraining sites like Udemy.com are indicative of the growth of the e-Training industry.
Udemy.com provides over 30,000 e-courses covery every topic imaginable, from web design and personal productivity, to courses on stress management and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy.com offers over 30,000 ecourses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for businesses that have unique information to share.
eLearning – Benefits And Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of planning and developing effective training courses online include:
- Working out methods of delivering training,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that course students can instinctively use to access the training content,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Assessing student scores,
- Creating reports, completion certificates
Additionally, you need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, lack of student motivation (e.g. boredom), distractions, etc.
eLearning – A World Of Possibilities
If you are trying to grow your business online, creating courses that help people acquire the skills they need is a great way to grow a subscriber list and monetize your website. Product creation 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. Every subject where there is interest and demand to learn can be taught online.
(Got knowledge, skills or an interest in commercial 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 is very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you probably already have the building blocks of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a digital training product.
If your site is built with WordPress and you are searching for a cost-effective way to create and sell e-courses then here’s a powerful solution that you need to know about.
