The process itself of organizing online learning is very different from classes at a regular educational institution. And you don’t need a license to set up an online school.
And then there are the online courses.
This is a free choice of the team.
The most important thing you need to create an online school is experienced teachers, whose lectures and materials will be interesting for the clients. The teachers don’t have to be in the same city with clients, they can even be from another country.
In this way you can form a full-fledged staff of people who really know the subject and can give the CA something new, fresh and useful. You can assemble a team:
on job search services;
in thematic communities and channels;
Among opinion leaders.
This is an opportunity to start without investment
Opening an educational institution in real life, you lay out a large sum of money at the very beginning: renting premises, buying furniture, finding employees, buying advertising, licenses … This option does not suit everyone – too much time and effort that is better “invested” in the learning process itself.
But online schools require virtually no investment: initially paying only a platform to post materials and videos (on one of the special platforms or an ordinary site), as well as advertising. In some cases it is possible to successfully “skip” this stage and start paying for the service after the first income is received.
This is weak competition
Above I mentioned that infoproducts now create everyone who does not lazy: bloggers, broadcasters, journalists, ordinary teachers, and even those who have nothing to say – the very “sellers of air.
In this variety, a quality product will quickly attract attention and gain credibility: students will start telling their friends about it or sharing it on social media. “Word of mouth” will attract an even larger stream of customers to you who previously didn’t trust online training.
It’s customer-friendly
Many regions lack quality education, especially in the narrow field, so their residents resort to courses taking place online. Others work from home or simply do not like the usual format of face-to-face education, so they prefer distance learning.
Services for creating an online school assume round-the-clock access to all the course materials: the student can read the individual didactic materials when he or she has questions. Assignments usually have a specific deadline, but how nice to do them:
While on a long trip;
while on public transportation, waiting in line at the hospital, or anywhere else;
in the comfort of the home.
Even the busiest students can find time to watch the lectures, and they’ll enjoy their time with you.
This is a high net profit.
An online school has a fairly fast payback, even if you initially did not invest in it. The amount of income depends on both the cost of taking the course itself and the effort invested in advertising. A separate plus will be your knowledge on the subject: perhaps in it you are well versed and write your own improvised “tutorials” (make a video, make up tests …).
Putting training “on stream”, you can quickly reach a virtually passive income. In the pursuit of it, do not forget: students need feedback, and they will be grateful for it.
