By Hopper G. Floresca


The search for knowledge is a constant quest, whether the goal be to learn something traditional or get instruction on a specialized task. Possessing the know-how on a particular subject can be a potential money making opportunity. An instructor can reach more students outside their local area by taking time to create a course online and opening it to everyone for purchase.

Many people prefer to bypass the traditional classroom setting and do internet learning instead, for a number of varied reasons. In this manner they do not have as many distractions, can be comfortable and follow the instructions at their own pace for better understanding. Another thing that most find appealing is that this type of program is generally more affordable.

There is no need to feel intimidated by the fact that there may be several other options available on the topic. Each presentation will be done in a slightly different manner which is something potential students will be looking at when making a selection. Many varying factors are going to influence the final decisions of those considering internet learning.

Whether using a written manual to understand the steps of creating a presentation, or employing the assistance of another virtual tutorial, there are some tools one is going to need. These items include a device that connects to the internet, a good quality webcam and a microphone clear of static and interference. A publishing software such as Keynote or PowerPoint and a screen recording program like Screenflow are also necessary.

The first part of the process involved making an outline of how one plans for the presentation to flow. This includes factors such as how many lessons will be needed and if it will be necessary to generate an agenda for the curriculum. It might also be a wise decision to include a phone number or email that clients can contact if they encounter any issues with the material.

Defining the primary audience to be targeted is an important step. This is something that one should know before the project is in production because it is influential to many aspects such as tone, appearance, videos, graphics, cost and marketing. The price will need to enough to make the work and promotion profitable, but also remain within the affordability range of those for whom the program is designed.

After completion, the next step is designing a marketing strategy. This plan includes factors like using YouTube, Vimeo and other video sharing options to promote the program, going Facebook Ads or Google AdWords to get quick links to the sales page, and utilizing the various social media options to gain exposure. The target audience has a huge impact on advertising choices.

Sales pitch details, purchasing links, acceptable payment options and the level of devotion to promotion are all factors that will also need to be attended. It would be best if the program is designed with the capabilities to operate on smartphones and tablets as well as PCs and Macs as it will broaden the prospective client base. This can be a simple way to earn income from sharing one's knowledge.
