Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are finding new niches and opportunities to profit from in areas like online training and education.
Electronic training, or “etraining,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where students don’t have direct face-to-face contact with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
eTraining course marketplaces like Udemy.com show that the e-Training industry is growing at a significant rate every year.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 e-courses on every topic imaginable, from office productivity and personal skills, to parenting & relationships and improving your lifestyle, etc …
(Udemy.com provides 30,000+ online courses covering all topics!)
This is not only great for people looking to acquire useful skills, but also for businesses that have something that can help transform the lives of others.
eLearning – Opportunities And Challenges
Some of the challenges of planning and developing effective courses online include:
- Figuring out content delivery methods,
- Employing familiar tools that students can use immediately to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency of standards used throughout content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Assessing student performance,
- Providing reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account factors like the lack of human contact, student boredom, loss of focus, etc.
eTraining – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell digital products, creating an e-course that teaches commercial subjects in high interest is a great way to grow a list 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 online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about anything can be taught online.
(Got a business built around photography, landscaping or writing sales copy? Turn it into an online training course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch takes a lot of time. 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 product.
If your site is built with WordPress and you plan to develop and sell ecourses, there’s an inexpensive and powerful WordPress plugin that can help you.
