Starting an eLearning business can be confusing.

You know you have the skill to teach, and some people want to learn it, but connecting the two and building a business around it? Man, where do you even start?

Well, it turns out, right here. 

At Uscreen we have lots of experience helping budding business owners, like you, start and grow their eLearning business. (Even if they have no entrepreneurial experience!)

And I’d like to share some of the major insights we’ve picked up along the way. Meaning you can get to work, safe in the knowledge you’re following the right steps.

So, if you want to start an eLearning business that is both profitable and enjoyable read on to find out more. We’re going to cover:

• What is an eLearning business?
• Why there’s never been a better time to start yours
• A case study of a 5-figure eLearning business
• 3 types of successful eLearning business models
• How to start an eLearning business in 6 steps

Let’s go…

What Is An eLearning Business?

An eLearning business is an online platform that educates people, either by imparting niche-specific knowledge or teaching new skills. 

eLearning businesses generate income in a number of ways, but the most common are:

• One-off sales of products like eBooks and courses
• Subscription access to independent online schools

Self-paced online learning has become popular over the last few years – it’s worth around $103.8 billion – and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the industry’s growth. (More on that next!)

So, what makes eLearning businesses so popular? Well, for students, it’s because they offer a lot of flexibility . They can choose their own…

• instructors 
• learning schedules
• payment options

…to create a customized experience that fits their needs. These are all important elements that aren’t typically offered by traditional offline learning environments.

Instructors can also take advantage of higher levels of flexibility and creative freedom. You’re not bound by traditional syllabuses or teaching structures.

Instead, you can cover the topics that interest you, in the niche you care about, to provide the most value to your audience. Better still, you can work on your own schedule.

At Uscreen, we’ve seen people build profitable eLearning businesses around:

• Arts & Crafts .
• Basketball.
• Self-Help .
• Musical instruments.
• Language learning.
• Many, many more.

And, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has never been a better time to start an eLearning business. Here’s why…

COVID-19 has shaken up how we approach work, learning, and recreation. And, people from all over the world are turning to eLearning platforms in the “new normal”.

Specifically, we’ve seen a rise in 3 types of learners:

• Those looking to grow and adapt to different ways of working.
• Those looking to escape the pandemic through learning new skills and knowledge.
• Those looking to learn in COVID-19 safe environments .

In fact, Google’s data shows a clear rise in people looking for terms like “online course” since the first lockdown measures were introduced:

There’s now a clear opportunity for anyone who wants to start an eLearning business. The supply of online learning resources is nowhere near the current demand for it!

The Associated Press reports that demand will grow 10% each year until 2024 when it will reach a worth of $21.64 billion . (Tapping into just 1% of that industry would be $216.4 million!)

Better still, when you build your eLearning business using online video , it can be affordable to start and manage, with potentially high returns. Let’s look at an example to show you what I mean!

How Frances Long Built A 5-Figure eLearning Business

Frances Long runs Your Book Of Memories , where she teaches people how to make their own mini albums.

Frances began by creating videos for her YouTube channel using a simple, inexpensive setup. Though the content of each video is complex, the creation of it is not.

Here’s one of her early videos so you can see what I mean:

Click here to watch the video -> youtube.com/watch?v=8idTnr4wdSk

Once she built a community on her channel, she pivoted to running her own eLearning business using Uscreen . 

Students can access her content in 2 ways:

• They can pay a monthly fee for access to her school, and access all of the tutorials in her library
• They can pay a one-off fee to access an individual tutorial

This gives Frances’s audience flexible access to her premium educational content. And, it gives Frances multiple income streams for her eLearning business.

The combination of these simple elements helped Frances bootstrap her way to $13,000 in her first 4 months after launching, and her income continues to grow.

In the next section, we’re going to look at how you can start your own eLearning business, starting with choosing the right business plan.

The 3 Types Of eLearning Business Plan s

There are 3 different types of eLearning business plan you can use:

• The “night school” model
• The “academy” model 
• The “combined” model

Let’s take a look at them and see which one is right for you…

Option 1: The “Night School” Business Model

The “night school” model is a classic if you just want to sell one-off access to a course. It’ll be familiar to you if you’ve ever taken an adult learning course.

Students…

• pay an up-front fee for the course
• follow a set structure from start to finish (with little deviation from the main topic)
• finish the course with a test or quiz to show proficiency

…making them best suited for students who are focused on learning one topic or skill. 

InkWorkshops use this eLearning business model well. They sell individual access to laser-focused tattoo workshops:

The benefit of this business model is that you receive a lot of up-front money. You can generate hype and sell access for a short time, which can translate into high earnings.

The downside is you only earn once from each customer. Once they have access, there’s no need for them to reinvest in this course.

You’re also limited to one topic per course, so you’ll need to create multiple standalone courses if you want to cover a variety of topics, which can be pretty time-consuming.

Option 2: The “Academy” Business Model

The “academy” model is a much longer-term option.  It’s where you create an online school that allows…

• your students receive recurring value
• you receive a recurring income

…in exchange for a recurring monthly subscription fee.

The academy style model allows you to focus on a breadth of skills your students will need. You can build an extensive library of tutorials to cover multiple necessary skills.

Let’s say you want to start an eLearning platform for guitarists. Instead of teaching one skill – like how to play a specific song – you could open it up to teach:

• How to practice chord progressions.
• How to restring your guitar.
• The basics of finger-picking.
• How to read sheet music.

These topics are far too complex and important to make part of one single course, so they all need to be taught as skills in their own right. 

Magic Stream does this extremely well. They’ve built an extensive catalog of videos that budding magicians can access for a minimal monthly fee:

From the business side of this, there are lots of benefits.

You can earn a recurring income every month from both past and new students. And, you can continue to earn from content you uploaded months or even years before!

Option 3: The “Combined” Model

Okay, this is my favorite eLearning business model…

The “combined” model is where you take the night school and academy models and put them together to create a supercharged income opportunity.

Here you use:

• the academy model as your core offering.
• the night school model to provide flexible options or add-ons.

It could be that your customers want access to just one tutorial from your database, or you’re offering a special live stream session that’s worth paying a few extra dollars for.

Students are ready and willing to pay for these if they feel it will help them improve at what it is they’ve come to learn from you.

This is the same model that Your Book Of Memories used earlier in the post, so you know it’s tried and tested!

How To Start An eLearning Business In 6 Steps

In this section, we’re going to explore how to start an eLearning business and share the specific steps you need to take.  You’re going to:

• Define your audience
• Identify your core content
• Pick and create 1-3 actionable lessons
• Select your eLearning platform
• Set your prices
• Market your new eLearning business

Before we start, it’s going to be useful if you already have authority within an online community, or audience you’ve created, before you begin to build an eLearning business. 

This will give you better access to content ideas, potential customers, and initial feedback. While not essential, I do recommend you have this before you follow any of the steps below!

Let’s get into it…

1. Define Your Audience

The first step is to define your target audience. 

It’s useful to think of this as a subsection of your current audience. The 20% of people who will be interested in signing up for your premium service.

Ideally, you’ll build an “avatar” that is an amalgamation of the 6-8 key characteristics, wants, and needs that your customers share.

You should ask questions like:

• How old are they?
• What gender (if relevant) are they?
• Where are they located?
• What are they struggling with?
• What do they want to achieve with the skills you’ll teach them?

The answers to these questions will differ depending on your niche and what you teach. The best way to answer them is to reach out to members of your current audience and ask them!

Here is a great video from entrepreneur, Eben Pagan , on how to create a customer avatar, with specific examples from an eLearning business:

2. Identify Your Core Content

The next step is to identify the specific lessons your audience needs the most.

These are the core skills that will have the biggest impact on your audience’s success. If they come away armed with these 1-3 things, they’ll have got their money’s worth.

This will help you ensure your existing customers are satisfied and help you to attract new customers with your core materials.

Let’s say you’re building an eLearning business for creative freelancers. You might create your core lessons around:

• Acquisition: how to find and pitch to new clients
• Productivity: how to manage your time and workload
• Negotiation: how to effectively raise your rates

This is something we do in our own eLearning products. For example, in Fitness Accelerator , we focus on 3 core categories for our video tutorials:

• Setting up: how to set up your online fitness platform
• Pro tips: how to create engaging, professional content
• Marketing: how to grow your online fitness business

Here’s how that looks on the website:

These core elements should hit the key needs and take your customers towards their desired end result.

3. Pick & Create 1-3 Actionable Lessons

In this step, you’re going to drill down and create some actionable lessons.

I recommend you create a completable “module” for each of your core content categories before you launch your eLearning business.

Sticking with the creative freelancer example from above, this might look like:

• Acquisition: how to write a high-converting outreach email
• Productivity: how to structure your working day
• Negotiation: 10 key things your proposal needs to have

The point here is to choose high-value lessons that set the tone for your future content, and can generate early results or progress for your customers!

If you’re starting off on a low budget, here is a great video from Think Media on how to create your first videos using only your smartphone:

4. Pick Your eLearning Platform

It’s time to look at where you’re going to build your eLearning business.

You may already have considered some “education” platforms that allow you to host single courses, but I’m going to recommend you consider a more comprehensive solution. 

Specifically, I’m going to recommend you use a video monetization platform. Here’s why…

Video is the most effective way of teaching people remotely. It allows you to convey complex information easily. Just ask the 86% of people who use YouTube videos to learn new skills !

You also need a platform that allows you to:

• Create your own controlled learning environment
• Connect directly with your audience within a standalone platform
• Offer a wide range of payment options
• Create combinations of monetization options
• Use analytics for both your videos and marketing
• Take control of your income

You can do all of this – and much, much more – by using Uscreen . You can find out more about us, and what we offer, by clicking here or watching the video below:

5. Set Your Prices

Next up, let’s look at how to set prices for your eLearning business.

In the video below one of our resident video experts, Nick Nimmon, will talk you through a tried and tested strategy for setting prices for online courses and eLearning businesses.

Check it out:

6. Market Your eLearning Business

The final step is to begin marketing your eLearning business. This is where having an existing audience really helps!

I recommend you start by identifying your existing marketing channels, like…

• your newsletter
• social media feeds
• YouTube channel audiences
• community forums 

…and promote your new platform there. 

You should also consider using YouTube to create a marketing “funnel”. This is where you share:

• Top-level videos to engage potential and new audience members
• Middle-level videos to begin educating them
• Bottom-level videos, like trailers, to point them towards your platform

You can learn more about how to create a YouTube marketing funnel here .

Better still….

You can use Uscreen’s marketing tools to build more comprehensive and effective marketing campaigns. With them, you can:

• send abandoned cart emails
• create “reduce churn” sequences
• offer high-converting free trials
• share promotional coupons
• connect with 1000+ tools via Zapier

…so you can build tailored campaigns to market your eLearning business, your way.

You may be surprised by how much success in elearning development comes down to smart planning and solid project management. Planning, where you think through the details of a project, match expectations and realities to a calendar, and generally visualize the flow of activities, a key part of the project. It’s both necessary and, happily, not too painful. We suggest that you get started by thinking through the five topics we offer here, then take a read through the next section of this guide about eLearning eLearning project management . With those two tasks done, you’ll be well on your way to “Wow!!”

Get our free eLearning project plan template today! Plan out your project with development time estimates by phase. 

Basics of eLearning Planning

The first stage of any significant project brings with it a lot of unknowns. In fact, even for very experienced elearning people, the beginning of a project is more about not knowing than it is about knowing. It’s perfectly normal to be a little vague on the project scope, nervous about working with stakeholders, and wondering if we’ll ever “get” the topic that’s being presented. In short, if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, that’s OK.

In the following sections we’ll address the big unknowns that you may find daunting — we know we sure did when we were just starting out! We’ll spell out the details and remove some mystery. Don’t you feel better already?

How to Plan an eLearning Course Project

Well, good news: Everyone starts right where you are, and even the people who build all day every day run into moments when they ask the same question. For planning purposes, if you’re new to any aspect of the project — the authoring tool, the subject matter, the people involved, any of it — you will want to build extra time into your project plan for moving up the learning curve.

It’s not that developing an elearning program is especially difficult. It’s just that there are a lot of aspects to the project, and you’re likely to find some that challenge you. As adults, we don’t necessarily think in terms of needing to learn things to be competent — we’re adults after all! That’s a good idea to let go of right now, before you get much further in your project, because an open mind (and sense of humor) will help you complete the project with pride.

Estimate eLearning Development Time

OK, letting you in on a little secret here: Building learning does take time. That is why any form of procrastination is a baaad idea.

Here’s a key: To ballpark the time needed, what’s helpful to know is how long, in minutes, the end-product of your work effort will be. This is referred to as “run time,” or roughly how long it will take a viewer to complete the program (note that this does not include the time it takes to complete interactions such as a quiz; that’s difficult to estimate, so usually not included in discussions of run time).

For example, maybe you’re developing a 20-minute presentation, or a 10-minute eLearning program. Often, your stakeholders will state how long they expect the program to be, but if you don’t have an idea about the time, take a good guess and confirm it by asking others involved with the project to do the same. An “educated guess” is fine.

Next, multiply the minutes you’ve come up with by a factor between 22 and 240.

Your project will fall somewhere on a spectrum from simple to complex, so adjust the factor you use in the calculation with that in mind. The higher the factor, the more development time. For example:

• Use a factor number at the low end of the range for something like a simple click-and-read PowerPoint with limited graphics.
• Use a factor at the high end for a full, interactive eLearning program that you’re starting from scratch.

Now multiply the factor times the runtime and the result is an estimate of minutes of development time. Then, for the total number of hours, divide your result by 60.

Now you have a guesstimate, in hours, of the time you’ll need to develop your project.

If all that math makes your head hurt, use our handy calculator !

Get Started with Your eLearning Project Timeline

Now that you have a total number of hours estimated to use as a guide, begin by loosely figuring out how you can schedule the hours needed to get your project launched, push it forward, and get it done.

Do this by taking a look at your calendar and workload between now and the proposed deadline. Match the total project hours to your or your team’s availability, accounting for pre-existing commitments such as regular work tasks, other projects currently in motion (or expected to be), vacations, and other availability-impacting factors.

Now, based on your quick calculations, does the deadline seem doable? Can you deliver what’s hoped for by the wished-for date, or will something need to be adjusted? That “something” might be any (or all) of the following:

• Extend the deadline to a more realistic date.
• Reduce the scope of the project to allow fewer hours to be spent on it. (For example, the program could be shorter, or it could be simpler. Fiddle with the development calculator to test scenarios.)
• Take the project in phases, delivering a simpler solution sooner that will serve as the foundation for a more time-consuming solution later.
• Add people to the project. (But note that this solution should be applied with caution! The bigger the team, the more time you must take to manage it. Time is what you’re short on, right?)

If you’ve traveled this far in your project, congratulations!! You’ve started your project. No more worries there.

10 eLearning Project Phases and Milestones

Let’s start toward a project plan by understanding that elearning projects have a logical flow that carries the builder from a messy pile of content to beautiful and engaging elearning. This runs roughly as follows:

Project Startup — Often chaotic and confusing, during this phase the content to be included (or not) begins to be defined (that would be the “scope” of the project) and the order of presentation begins to take shape (and that’s the “sequence”). These aren’t locked down by any means, but you’ll start to get a sense of the project, and, as an added bonus, the people involved.

Project Definition — Here a tighter lock is put on scope and sequence, source material is sorted and captured, people’s roles are defined, and the project, generally, begins to take shape.

Project Design — Not always included, but often useful, is a quick round in which the proposed look and feel of the project is put in front of decision makers. This is often referred to as “prototyping,” and should be polished enough to get the ideas across, but need not be perfect.

Project Scripting — Like movies, videos, and TV commercials, elearning is a script-driven product, so this phase is one of the most important! Here you work out how the content is presented both in terms of audio (voice over) and on-screen text, and think through things like the program framework and flow.

Project Storyboarding — Another activity that’s not always executed, but can be useful. A storyboard pre-builds the slides , matching the script to graphics and providing details on the building process.

Project Build — This is it! Planning, script, graphics, everything comes together in the build phase. Typically for elearning, building will happen in an authoring tool, such as Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, or similar, but this phase is important in instructor-led presentations, too.

Project Review and Revisions — Often blended into the building phase, project reviews allow stakeholders and subject matter experts to look at the project pre-completion in order to suggest any needed revisions. (Note that in many projects, this phase must be managed carefully to avoid seemingly endless rounds of changes. Manage expectations carefully from the get-go about the importance of thorough but limited review cycles.)

Project Finalizing — Almost done now! During this phase, the final steps are completed toward project completion. These can include a final review cycle, an internal quality assurance review (with any required revisions), SCORM publishing and testing, and other get-it-done-right steps. (Caution! This phase often lives up to the aphorism, “He who has a hundred miles to walk should reckon ninety as half the journey.” The final steps can take much longer than anyone, most especially you, think they should, and this applies doubly to projects with more than a single elearning module.)

Project Delivery — A great day indeed! Here, you’ll finish up the final packaging, gather elements that need to be passed back to the client, and get the whole project delivered. Celebrate!!

Project Wrap Up — Complete any tasks needed to leave the project in tidy shape for next time. Likely as not, your project will leave behind a trail of graphics, audio files, scripts, drafts, notes, and who knows what else. Before too much time goes by, get organized (and, if possible, get it off your hard drive — you’ll need the space for your next project).

And that’s it!

Create an eLearning Project Plan

A project plan is a beautiful thing, but before you spend too much time creating one, it’s important to note that plans are born to be broken! So, please take it from the voice of experience: Limit the time you spend on drafting a plan and keep it high level. We’ll show you a quick trick that will help you get something together quickly now.

To build a plan with estimated hours by phases, do the following:

• Figure out which of the phases given above will be part of the project you’re planning right now, and,
• Guesstimate the percentage of total project time that will be taken up in each phase. (These percentages should add up to 100%, but if this is a big project or you’re very new to this kind of project, immediately set aside 10% of the total hours for project management and learning. Then, the remainder of the phases should be calculated to add up to 90% of the total hours.)
• Apply your percentages to the calculation of total hours, and you’ll know how long you have for each phase.

If you want, you can add dates to match the hours for a big, beautiful project plan (subject to change, of course!).

In Conclusion

Even though it happens early in the game, the work you do in regard to project planning can help you get the project done. Soon enough, you’ll be stepping back and appreciating your completed program.

Now jump over to the next chapter of the guide and get started with some great eLearning project management templates and tips

Frequently Asked Questions on Planning

In general, an elearning project focuses on development of a learning-related program that will be delivered through a learning management system (LMS) or other online method. The specifics of elearning projects vary widely, from simple “repackaging” of existing videos to “screencasts” of steps and processes that happen on a computer to full builds of highly-sophisticated full-branching programs … and everything in between!

A general sequence of activities that lead to completing the program creation process is given by the acronym ADDIE. Begin by Analyzing the learning that must take place and matching content to those objectives. Next, Design the program both graphically and in terms of sequencing, scriptwriting, and, optionally, storyboarding. Complete the Development phase next, using an elearning authoring tool, screencasting program, PowerPoint, or other method. Implement the program, making it available to learners. And finally, Evaluate the program in terms of its effectiveness in delivering the expected learning outcomes. ADDIE should be considered an iterative process, so setting an early expectation for reviews and revisions will help ensure that you create the best online training program possible.

We hate to be cliche, but the correct answer here is, “it depends.”. Because the specifics of elearning projects vary so widely, it’s best to really understand the scope of a given project before committing to time allocations. Take a look at our time calculator here to get a sense of what goes into projecting the hours required to complete a project.

Yes, you can create simple elearning even on a tight budget. For example, if you just wish to deliver your content online, you can create an attractive slide deck in PowerPoint, then publish it directly from PowerPoint as a shareable video. Sometimes having a tight budget means thinking outside the box and we’ve heard of projects that successfully deliver learning via email, PDF, and virtual meetings.

Time and cost are very much related when it comes to creating elearning, so the strategies you can use for low-budget projects are also applicable to time-strapped projects. Your goal in producing elearning of any sort is to deliver the learning content in an attractive and orderly format, so your audience can lock in on what’s important. Even in a quickly executed project, it’s time well-spent to use some of your project time to think through how you’ll achieve these goals.

As a field, elearning evolves along with technology. Terms like these reflect the new approaches that arise. “mLearning,” for example, refers to the delivery of learning content on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. In a similar way, the term “eLearning” is thought to be a shortening of the phrase “electronic learning,” and largely replaced the “computer-based training” or “CBT” that came before it. These are all ways of referring to learning that’s delivered in a computer-mediated environment, of course. “Blended learning” extends this to include both digital delivery methods and analog methods. For example, the basic content of a blended learning course may be offered as elearning but extended into the learner’s environment with a printed guide, work aid, or assignment.

Instructional design focuses on how to present content so that it will be actionable, memorable, and useful to the audience viewing an elearning program. An elearning program informed by strong instructional design will begin with well-defined learning objectives that are derived from real-life assessments of actual tasks and how they are successfully performed. From there, program delivery is designed to conform to researched, evidenced-based understandings about adult learning to help ensure that the expected transfer of knowledge from program to viewer can and does occur.

Because instructional design focuses on making sure learning can happen, it’s a critical factor in delivering on the real purpose of an elearning program: learning. Although it may appear to be a luxury, good instructional design sees to it that program-related costs — the time, money, and attention resources required to develop, deliver, and participate in the program — are balanced by actually achieving the desired learning objectives.

How to Create an eLearning Project Plan

When you first start an eLearning project, there’s a lot of information you must collect and expectations to establish. Much of this upfront work occurs during your eLearning project kickoff meeting , while you’re scoping the project and conducting a needs analysis . This is your opportunity to meet with your project stakeholders and subject matter experts to ask questions, collect information, and set expectations. But, how can you ensure there’s accountability for everything that has been agreed upon?

Well, the truth is, it’s all too easy to walk away from your initial eLearning project kickoff meeting, assuming everyone is on the same page and has the same expectations for the project. However, this is rarely the case. To successfully create an effective eLearning course, all of the project contributors (including yourself) must have a clear understanding of the project details. In my experience, in addition to creating an eLearning development timeline , the best way to accomplish this is to create an eLearning project plan to document the details of the project.

So, in this post, I’ll share how to create an eLearning project plan.

What is an eLearning Project Plan?

As I explain in my book, The eLearning Designer’s Handbook , an eLearning project plan is a document designed to outline all the details necessary to implement the project. I like to think of a project plan as a contract between you and your stakeholders and subject matter experts.

An eLearning project plan is a document designed to outline all the details necessary to implement the project.

Documenting the details and deliverables of a project helps solidify everything agreed upon during the kickoff meeting. A project plan also helps to maintain accountability throughout the development process and ensure everyone involved understands their responsibilities. It can also help you avoid scope creep .

An eLearning project plan can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes (and many different eLearning project management tools you can use), there’s no single method for creating or formatting a project plan or what information to include in it. What’s important is that you include the right information you need in order to gain agreement and accountability with your stakeholders and subject matter experts.

Ultimately, your plan should include enough information to give anyone a strong sense of what the project aims to achieve and the deliverables that will result from the project.

Detail the Basic Project Information

Start creating your eLearning project plan by detailing the basic project information. This includes the project title, description, and a high-level overview of its history, goals, and deliverables.

While this information in your project plan may not be critical to the successful execution of the project, it can help to provide context for anyone else involved in the future.

Document the Roles & Responsibilities

After you’ve documented the basic information about the project, the next item to include in your eLearning project plan is a list of the roles and responsibilities for the project. This includes anyone involved in the project and their specific role.

Because your project involves multiple people coming together and working towards a common goal, it’s important everyone understands their role. This can help you establish lines of accountability throughout the project.

Define the Deliverables of the Project

Once you’ve established the roles and responsibilities for the project, the next item to document in your eLearning project plan are the deliverables for the project. This includes listing the target audience for the project, the learning objectives that will be achieved, and a detailed description of the course to be created.

Whether you’re creating a single eLearning course or a blended training solution, listing the deliverables helps establish the total scope of the project. For larger, more complex projects, it can also be helpful to document the deliverables as part of an instructional design document .

Because your project plan is like a contract or statement of work between your stakeholders and subject matter experts, there must be no questions about what actual items will be created and delivered once the project is complete.

Outline the Plans for Implementation & Measurement

The final item to include in your eLearning project plan is an outline of how the project will be implemented and measured. This includes listing the project risk and constraints, specific measurements used to evaluate effectiveness, and details about how the training will be delivered to the target audience.

While it may seem premature to identify these items at the start of the project, these decisions will ultimately determine the success of the project once it’s complete.

The Bottom Line

While taking the time to document everything in an eLearning project plan may seem tedious, it will help ensure the project starts with everyone on the same page. It can also help you ensure accountability between you and your stakeholders and subject matter experts.

If you’re new to eLearning, I’d recommend checking out The eLearning Project Plan Notebook , which can help you capture and document all of the necessary information when planning your eLearning projects.

6 steps to set up your eLearning business.

1. Define your audience:

The foremost step is to specify your target audience.

To identify your target audience, you will have to perform thorough research. The best practice is to find the answers to the following questions about your target audience.

Ask questions like:

• What is the age group of your target audience?
• Where is your audience located?
• What languages do they know?
• What type of courses do they want?
• The reason they are looking for an online course?
• Are they willing to pay for the courses? Or are they seeking free options?

The answers to these questions will differ depending on your niche and what you teach.

2. Identify your core content:

The next step is to focus on the core content that your audience would most desire. That is, identify the specific lessons your audience needs the most.

It will help you ensure your customers are satisfied and help you to attract new customers.

Let’s say you’re building an eLearning business for creative freelancers. You might create your core lessons around:

• →   Paid acquisition
• →   Organic website traffic
• →   Content marketing

Using this information and keeping your target audience in mind, you can decide about your core content based on trends and the niche you are targeting. You can finalize more than one core content with a different cluster of the target audience.

3. Pick and create 1-3 actionable lessons:

We suggest you assemble a few lessons and courses for each core content before launching your platform.

To yield a high success rate, make sure your content quality is top-notch and gives worth to the learner. Generally, the first impression is a make or break the success of your eLearning platform.

4. Select your eLearning platform/technology:

Next is to decide, where will you build your eLearning business , on which platform and using which technology?

As per our extensive research and study, we recommend you use a video monetization platform.

The principal reason for using video is that it is the most effective way of teaching people remotely. It allows you to convey intricate details easily.

Also, we advise opting for a platform that is an open-source content management system (CMS) used worldwide. Open-source platforms offer a flexible and customizable design catering to your specific requirements.

The platform you choose must allow you to:

• Create a controlled learning environment.
• Connect directly with your audience.
• Offer a wide range of payment options.
• Use analytics for both your videos and marketing.

5. Pricing:

Next, we need to decide how to set prices for your eLearning business.

The primary objective of every business is to make a profit, and for that, you need to price your courses smartly. It should not be pricey that no one registers, and neither should it be too low that your expenses are not covered.

The price of courses can vary based on underlying factors like:

• →   The course duration
• →   The experience of the instructor
• →   The niche of the course

You may also want to perform competitor analysis to find the fees of similar courses on your competitor's platforms.

Alternatively, in the beginning, you can offer lesser pricing than your competition or give discount coupons to get more user engagement and settle in the market.

6. Market your new eLearning business:

The final step is to market your eLearning business.

No matter how good your platform is, you cannot be successful without good marketing.

There are thousands of eLearning platforms in the market present already, and the competition is fierce. Hence, it is necessary to make yourself heard to the audience with the help of the right marketing strategies.

You can promote your brand aggressively using one or a combination of the following techniques:

• →   An active presence on social media
• →   Running ad campaigns on Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook
• →   Start your newsletter
• →   Engage your audience with valuable insights about the industry
• →   Collaborate with educational institutions and enrol their students in your offered courses.
