The fact that the e-Learning industry is growing is not only great for people looking to gain the skills they need, but also for individuals that have valuable information to teach others.
eCourses – Benefits & Drawbacks
Some of the challenges of planning, developing and implementing effective e-courses include:
- Working out the best methods to deliver training content,
- Using easy-to-use tools and technologies that course students can instinctively use to start learning,
- Ensuring consistency across content design, course branding, etc.
- Measuring results,
- Grading scores,
- Generating useful reports, certificates of completion
Additional factors include lack of face-to-face contact, potential lack of motivation, loss of focus, etc.
eCourses – A World Of Possibilities
If you plan to create and sell information-based products, creating e-courses that help people gain useful skills is a great way to grow a subscriber list and develop another stream of revenue. Creating products is one of the best ways to build a customer base, as well as establish authority and credibility online and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
There’s a ton of opportunity. Just about every imaginable topic can be taught online.
(Got a business built around fashion photography, landscaping or writing sales copy? Turn it into an e-course!)
The problem with product creation, however, is that creating “how to” ebooks and training courses from scratch tends to be very time-consuming. If you have been marketing your business online for a while, however, you probably already have the building blocks of great training content on your blog or website that can be leveraged into a new digital product.
If your site is built using WordPress and you would like to create and sell e-learning courses, there’s a cost-effective and powerful solution that can help you.
