Thanks to the internet, thousands of entrepreneurial businesses and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like providing online training and e-learning management systems.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where students don’t have face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The e-Learning Industry Is Growing
eTraining marketplaces like Udemy show that the eTraining industry is growing.
Udemy.com offers over 30,000 e-courses on every topic imaginable, from web design and personal finance, to courses on building healthy relationships and making better lifestyle choices, etc …
(Udemy offers 30,000+ e-courses on every subject imaginable!)
This is not only great for people looking to learn new skills, but also for individuals that have valuable information that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits & Challenges
Some of the drawbacks of planning, developing and implementing elearning courses include:
- Figuring out training delivery methods,
- Using popular tools that learners can use to access the content,
- Ensuring consistency of methods delivered across content design, branding, etc.
- Measuring outcomes,
- Grading scores,
- Providing useful reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include the lack of face-to-face interaction, learner boredom, distractions that cause loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are a product creator, creating e-courses that help people acquire useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop an online stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to attract new customers, establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry or niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Every imaginable topic can be turned into a “how-to” course.
(Got skills, knowledge or a passion for fashion photography, horticulture or technical writing? Turn it into an ecourse!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch can be very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you probably already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a digital product.
If your site is built with WordPress and you’re searching for an inexpensive way to develop ecourses then there is a great plugin that can help you.
