“Making money from an elearning course is easy”

If you have an idea that’s profitable, intelligent, sound, and marketable, you might want to consider teaching an eLearning course. There are hundreds of thousands of eLearning courses available on a variety of websites all over the world. However, the influx of new and returning students every day means that there’s always a market for good courses from an interesting or trusted teacher. If you know where to look and you have an eye for these things, you can almost certainly make a decent amount of money by creating eLearning courses online.

Find Your Topic

It’s best to sell an idea about which you’re passionate. While you may think it’s best to find out which ideas are the most profitable and sell them as a way to attract more students to be your customers, remember that there are thousands of teachers of those subjects already making those courses. Find whatever thing it is that you do absolutely best, or that you just know better than anyone else in the world. Your expertise is what makes a fantastic course. Remember, before a student signs up to take your class, they’ll be able to see a little biography of you. They’ll know if you’re someone who really knows the subject in and out. Also, you want to give a good lesson, one that makes your students hungry to take more classes from you when you put them together later. As long as you can find something you’re passionate about, you’ll find a market for it, no matter how niche.

Find a Platform

“You can create, host and publish your course via good platform”

There are many places to sell eLearning courses online. Some things to take into account include how much traffic each site gets, how much the site takes as a percentage of your profits, and how much the site helps you with course creation. Most sites that host for-pay courses and help people create them take between 15% and 30% of the profits a teacher makes from the course. However, if you’re charging $99 for a course and making even 70% of that, and 1,000 people take your course per year, that’s a yearly income of $69,000 for teaching a single three-hour course. If you can find a site that gets you a lot of good exposure, even if the percentage they take is higher, your best bet is to take the option that nets you the most traffic.
You’ll also need to consider ease of course creation. Some platforms walk you through every step of the way, like Siminars.com. Even if you’ve never created an online course before, these websites can help you make certain that every bit of your content is well-packaged for consumption by your students.

Upgrade Your Technology

It’s possible that all of your equipment is state-of-the-art. However, you may want to look into investing in some good technology. A great microphone and camera can be the difference between your course being a smash hit through recommendations and word of mouth and being the last sort-of-good idea in a string of many. Also, many websites such as Udemy.com will not let you put up videos of less than stellar quality, so keep that in mind.
