You just choose the courses you want to market and sell and get your front end website and branding etc setup. Its that easy !
Turning Dissatisfaction to Satisfaction
People change career or jobs because they are not satisfied. They want more money, more status, more recognition, a more interesting or rewarding job.
Not being satisfied is not a negative thing. It means that the person wants to do more, to achieve more.
If a person trains to be something and then finds that it is not what they expected, they may want to move on, get a promotion, start their own business.
Dissatisfaction can help to push us on to achieve, to develop, to improve.
Starting your own business can be a way to change that dissatisfaction to job satisfaction.
Starting your own business means –
- You can work in an industry that suits you and your interests.
- You can work as many or as little hours as you need to.
- If you do not enjoy something, you can try working in a different way, trying to evolve and develop your business
- You can work from home or an office or wherever you want to really.
- You can grow the business as much as you want to.
The added advantages of starting your own business is that the business is yours to develop and grow as YOU want to. You might want a small business or a nationwide business or a multinational one.
With ACS Distance Education, there are no limits to the opportunities available for where you can sell courses.
Why set up an online education business?
As we said at the start, the world has changed. Social media, the internet and online technology has meant that more courses are now available online.
Today, technology and entrepreneurship tend to be mutually exclusive. There are not many businesses out there today that do not have at least a website or social media presence. Millennials have grown up with this technology.
- 50% of millennials think that growing up with technology has helped them to become entrepreneurs.
- 66% think they are capable of the use of marketing and social media to grow and develop their business.
It is not just about technology though. The way that people want to study has also changed -
- More people want flexible learning. They want to study when and where suits them.
- As people change jobs and careers more often, they will need to retrain. Education has literally now become lifelong learning.
COVID-19 meant that people who had never studied online before realised its potential. Not everyone had a good experience of online education during that time. Part of the problem here was that many traditional education providers were suddenly forced to put their education provision online for the first time. Many were not ready or lacked the skills to do it. This is when distance learning providers, like us, came into their own. We have 43 years experience of distance education.
The internet and COVID-19 have led to a massive growth in online education in the last few years and this growth is predicted to continue.
Running an education business therefore offers you a great opportunity in a growth market.
