Ecourse Development Can Be The Perfect Home Business For You

Ecourses are self-paced training courses that people can download on to their computers

, or view online. Most of them are divided into a number of lessons and can include video lectures, audio narration and worksheets. Ecourses are very popular because they allow people to learn the information they need from the comfort of their own home without having to be in a classroom on a specific day, at a specific time. This type of self-paced learning has become very popular because people just don't have the time or money to attend traditional classes. If you are looking for a way to make extra money at home, or even to start a full time business, creating ecourses can be the niche for you.

Think About What You Know to Do

Do your friends often come to you asking you to how to something? Even small stuff like "how to bake a ham" or "how to remove stains from laundry" or "how to keep a plant from dying?" If you answer these questions a lot that means you have knowledge that others don't have! To you these may be trivial things because you are an expert at them, but to others this is valuable information that they need. Think of one thing that someone always runs to you to get your help with doing. Now, go to Google and search! I bet you will find that other people need help with the same thing, right?

Now, Transform it Into an Ecourse!

To develop your ecourse you will need to create a number of lessons. Depending on the complexity of your topic, about five lessons is a good number to aim for. You want to make the lessons small and digestible, not too overwhelming. Each lesson should consist of a set of slides, just like in a regular class. This will be your "lecture." Record your slides using a screen recording software such as Camtasia (techsmith.com), or Camstudio (camstudio.org) which is free. Pretend like you are standing in front of a class and giving a presentation.

You will also want to create a number of handouts to go along with the presentation, just like in a regular classroom. Your handouts can include checklists, diagrams, notes or even a full guide. It all depends on what you feel is best for your students.

When you are finished with the development part of your ecourse, you can sell it from a site such as ClickBank. They will handle all of the payment processing for you. All you have to do is make sure your "students" are happy and learn what you are teaching!
