Online Course Expert's Research Provides Insight into Most Popular Online Courses in the U.S.
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In her case study "50 Most Popular Online Courses Searched for in the U.S.," Lisa Parmley, CEO of Business Bolts, shares some of the recent trends in the online course market. Parmley's hope is that such research will shed light on what topics may be in the most demand, which will help businesses and entrepreneurs find their niche in the ever-expanding online course industry.
With over 18 years of experience in the industry, Parmley is no stranger to the world of online course creation. She created Business Bolts, a website designed to help course creators and experts in their niche build successful businesses through online course curation from her experiences.
To conduct her study, Parmley sifted through thousands of online courses to gauge how popular online courses are and which courses are most sought-after. To narrow her search to the most popular content, she sifted through thousands of online courses with 200 monthly search volume or more in the U.S., and after significant research and analysis, Parmley determined that there are approximately 300 unique online course topics that are the most popular in the U.S.
From her research, Parmley was able to isolate the top 50 course key phrase searches and the top course topics consumers search for. Online defensive driving courses topped the course key phrase searches, followed by online accounting, programming, statistics and driving courses. In terms of the most popular broad topics for online courses, language, programming, test prep, design, and medical professional courses were most popular.
Parmley hopes that her research will help others looking to grow their own online course businesses put the market and potential into perspective. "This case study will provide valuable information to businesses and entrepreneurs looking to design their own online courses," said Parmley. "By knowing which topics are in most demand, those looking to build online courses can meet those demands and find success by providing content that helps consumers reach their personal and professional goals."
