Udemy offers 30,000+ ecourses on every topic imaginable, from web design and personal development, to creativity and making better lifestyle choices, etc …

This is not only great for people looking to learn, but also for businesses that have valuable knowledge that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Training – Benefits And Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning online courses include:
- Working out the best training delivery method,
- Using familiar tools and technologies that course students can instinctively use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout the content, branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Assessing student performance,
- Creating useful reports, completion certificates
Additionally, you need to take into account factors like lack of human contact, boredom and potential lack of student motivation, lack of focus, etc.
e-Training – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are a digital product creator, creating e-courses that help people gain useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is, after all, one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as an industry or niche leader.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything 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 marketing yourself online for a while, however, you probably already have plenty of great training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If you are searching for an inexpensive way to create an online training product and your website is built with WordPress, then there is a great courseware solution that you may want to consider adding to your site.
