Thanks to the digital revolution, thousands of entrepreneurial organizations and individuals are discovering new niches to profit from in areas like online education.
e-Learning is based on the concept of distance learning, where learners don’t have face-to-face interaction with the teacher or trainer.
The eLearning Industry Is Growing
Online teaching sites like Udemy.com are indicative of the tremendous growth of the eLearning industry.
Udemy provides 30,000+ e-courses covering all topics, from IT & software and personal development, to building healthy relationships and improving your lifestyle, etc …

This is not only great for people looking to learn new things, but also for businesses that have valuable information that can help transform the lives of others.
e-Learning – Opportunities & Drawbacks
Some of the drawbacks of planning, developing and implementing ecourses include:
- Working out training delivery methods,
- Employing popular tools that do not require investing additional effort, money or time in a new learning curve,
- Ensuring consistent standards are used throughout the content, course branding, etc.
- Measuring learning performance,
- Assessing student performance,
- Generating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, boredom, distracting environments, etc.
eLearning – Unlimited Possibilities
If you are an internet marketer, creating an e-course that helps people learn useful subjects is a great way to attract new subscribers and monetize your website. Product creation is, after all, one of the best ways to attract customers, as well as establish authority and credibility and position yourself as a leader in your industry or niche.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Almost anything can be turned into an ecourse.

The problem is that creating PDF reports and training courses from scratch is very time-consuming. Chances are, however, you probably already have training content on your website or blog that can be leveraged into a new product.
