Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like online education.
Electronic training, or “etraining,” is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners don’t have face-to-face interaction with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
eLearning course marketplaces like Udemy.com are indicative of the tremendous growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy provides 30,000+ e-courses on every subject imaginable, from web development and improving self esteem, to religion & spirituality and motivation, etc …
(Udemy currently offers over 30,000 courses online on every subject imaginable!)
The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing and that anything can be taught online is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for individuals that have something that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Learning – Benefits & Drawbacks
The internet provides benefits and opportunities for developing online training courses, but there are also many challenges.:
- Working out the best way to deliver content,
- Employing popular tools and technologies that do not require an additional learning curve,
- Ensuring consistency of methods delivered across the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading student performance,
- Providing useful reports, certificates of completion
You also need to take into account important factors such as lack of human contact, lack of student motivation, loss of focus, etc.
e-Courses – A World Of Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating a course that helps people gain useful skills is a great way to attract new subscribers or develop an online stream of revenue. 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. Almost every imaginable subject can be turned into an online training product.
(Got a passion or interest in commercial photography, horticulture or writing sales copy? Turn it into an online training product!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch can be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, that if you have been online for a while, you probably already have the building blocks of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a training product.
If your website is built with WordPress and you want to develop learning products, there’s a cost-effective and powerful plugin that you may want to consider adding to your site.
