Thanks to the internet and digital technologies, thousands of entrepreneurial companies and individuals are now finding new opportunities to profit from areas like providing e-training courses and e-learning systems.
eLearning is is the modern equivalent of distance learning, where learners do not interact face-to-face with the trainer or teacher.
The eTraining Industry Is Growing
eLearning sites like Udemy.com show that the e-Training industry is growing.
Udemy provides 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics, from marketing and developing influence, to courses on building healthy relationships and making better lifestyle choices, etc …

This is not only great for people looking to gain practical knowledge and skills, but also for individuals that have unique information that can help transform the lives of others.
eCourses – Benefits And Challenges
The internet provides tools and technologies for developing ecourses, but there are also significant drawbacks.:
- Figuring out the best method to deliver content,
- Using easy-to-use tools that course students can instinctively use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistent methods are used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning outcomes,
- Grading student scores,
- Generating reports, completion certificates
Additional factors include lack of human contact, lack of student motivation, distractions, etc.
eCourses – Unlimited Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell information-based products, creating e-courses that teach useful subjects 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 customer base, establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
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 takes a lot of time. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you already have the building blocks of great content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a training product.
