Just for your suggestion!!! When building a virtual education platform, think like a learner, “what could a learner choose to learn?” which course a learner prefers the most?”. Hence you will understand the strategy of content choosing secret.

You can divide your online course platform into a different category and upload your own other commission-based instructors’ course into them. Moreover, make a lockup or prerequisite system for the advanced course. A learner can only shift to the advanced course level when he/she is done with the basic course and have to pay for the advanced course.

Step 3# Plan Your Course Material

In the third step of creating an online school, you need to set up your mind that what type of course platform you want to build. “Is it an academic platform?” Or “Is it a professional training platform?” Or “Is it a freelancing training platform?”

As I have mentioned in the previous steps, marketing plays a significant factor in pulling your audience. Only through exposing and presenting your product in an attractive manner would pull your targeted and untargeted users.

You can always use social media as your central platform for advertising your product. Social media, especially Facebook, is the platform; it’s is a broad platform where people spent most of the time. Marketing your platform through various media would help you to drive traffic, explore your network, identify quality full leads, etc. Hence here are some marketing tactics; have a look:

• Course: add a course, financial statement of faculty revenue, commission, admin profit, no of course sale of each faculty, etc.

• Instructors: faculty addition or minimization and the list of faculty etc. 
• Live class session: add zoom, google classroom, google meet, Facebook live, etc. 
• Latest events & news: option to add events or news, views, and comment list  

Step 6# Lead collection

Lead collection in a learning management system suggests; a collection of instructors and students. Letting them know about the existence of your platform in the market. After you create a learning platform, you obviously need to gather or invite many potential instructors to your platform, so both instructor and you can have the opportunity to earn money. 

Pulling students to your online school platform; is another challenging task. It can only be done through various marketing tactics. You can also use the marketing tool mentioned above. Very realistic and practical.  

Step 7# Responsive Notification System

Everyone in this generation likes to be updated. And a notification system is the best way to let the users know about every detail instantly. A notification system usually works as an informing mechanism, by which anyone can generally get all the updated details about the latest updates. 

A real-time notification system helps to engage a bridge between the sender and receiver. A simple notification makes the users understand that “the user is important to platform owners.” 

Step 8# Easy Payment Gateway 

The payment gateway is an essential part of any website. These online school platforms give the facilities of adding different potential instructors and pay them on a commission basis whenever their course sells to any students.

But you need to make sure that; the payment getaway needs to be easy, especially secure, easy to add any currency, and user-friendly. Make your website so that the users get the best experience and share a strong WOM(word of mouth). 

Is Online Learning The Future Of Education?? 

The answer to this question is that online learning is the future of education all because of technological advancement. Over the past few years, various online platforms have shown a tremendous example of providing complete solutions to everything. Not only that, some of the popular news portals suggest that more than 1.2 billion students over 186 countries are now suffering because of the closure of educational institutions; for the deadly disease. 

The trend of online schooling was started back in 1989, but this system of distance learning didn’t fully reach everyone; because of a technological barrier. Then as the technology evolves, this system of e-learning platforms reaches every hand. 

Even before the pandemic, the practice of online schooling was growing steadily. Back then, online course platforms were only limited to learn for any extracurricular activities, such as gitter lessons or to learn any foreign language or classical dance, etc. But people of all ages are now preferring online learning more than traveling a long mile and attending a class in a fixed box room build with bricks and concretes. 

Final Thought

Nowadays, everyone is exploring the world of the internet in so many different ways. Some are selling clothes, selling foods over this new virtual platform. And now, just after a deadly pandemic hit the world, people start to shift their full education over the internet. 

This latest young generation is now more into online education rather than the traditional style of education. Because people have understood that, with a new style of distance learning, they get an extremely profitable advantage: no stress of traveling, no direct or indirect expenses, and environmentally friendly ambient.
