Nowadays, you don\u2019t need a fancy education to get ahead in life. Thanks to the internet, quality learning can be achieved through self-education online<\/a> \u2013 and even help you score a great job in web development where skills and experience trump a college degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of money to be made in online courses. In 2011, about $35.6 billion was spent on self-paced e-learning worldwide. In 2014, that figure jumped to $56.2 billion and then $107 billion in 2015. That\u2019s a lot of earning potential if you have expertise to share with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platforms such as Udemy, Lynda.com, and Treehouse can quickly get you set up teaching online. Udemy, for example, offers 55,000 courses on everything from web development and business to algebra and conversational Japanese. Millions of students and instructors use the platform, which has become the world\u2019s largest online learning marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catch? When you sign up as a course instructor you have to play by their rules \u2013 and that means giving them a cut of your earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why many course creators choose to go down the self-hosted route<\/a> and launch courses using their own WordPress site<\/a>. With a good quality learning management system (LMS) plugin, any website can be transformed into an online classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
