For many, they have become a vital necessity. In this post, we will identify just a few of the many amazing things smartphones can do.

Smartphones can be a Lifeline

You can use your smartphone to call for help. In the rare instance you cannot dial a number, you can use your voice. Depending on the type of smartphone, you can shout out to your phone to call for help. For example, with an Apple iPhone, if you say “Hey Siri, call 911” then your smartphone will dial the call for you.

Smartphones can be an Office

Smartphones have become so advanced that for some, it is the only computer they own. Depending on your computing needs, some can do all of their work on a smartphone and leave a laptop or desktop behind. You can set up email on your smartphone so you can communicate beyond voice and texting. You can even sign documents while on the go with your smartphone. With electronic signature software like eSignToday, you can receive a document to sign by email, sign the document with your finger on your phone screen, and submit it online all within seconds.

Smartphones can Simplify

The amazing things smartphones can do extend to simplifying your life – a good thing! Smartphones help us get rid of stuff. You don’t have to own or wear a watch if you have a smartphone. You don’t have to carry a separate camera as most smartphone cameras are high quality these days. And you don’t even need a flashlight because your smartphone has one. Smartphones are pretty smart!! Invest in one today!!

Add Signatures to an emailed PDF

Add Signatures to Emailed PDF — Adding signatures to Emailed PDFs can be super easy!

The PDF file format has been an incredibly useful invention. In 1993, Adobe created the PDF as a way to display text and images independent of software, hardware, and operating system. As time has gone on, however, the PDF has become so widespread that newer uses for it have developed. Among the top new uses is signing contracts. However, does there exist an easy way to add signatures to a PDF that has been emailed to different people?

The Common But Hard Way

For years, we’ve asked people to add signatures to emailed PDFs the hard way. First, one recipient prints the PDF. Next, they sign the printed PDF. Then, they need to scan the PDF and email it the next person who needs to sign it. Finally, the next recipient needs to follow all the above steps again. Frankly, it is tiring just reciting these steps!

The Easy Way to Add Multiple Signatures to a PDF

Fortunately, there are new services that make adding multiple signatures to a PDF much easier. Among the cheapest ($0.50/esignature) and easiest is eSignToday. With eSignToday, the sender of the PDF just uploads it to their eSignToday account and enters the emails of all the signers. Immediately, each signer will get an email with simple instructions to review and esign the document. People can sign in any order, on any convenient device like their iPhone. Without a doubt, using eSignToday ( get started at https://eSignToday.com) is a big time saver.

Esignatures Save Time — Esignatures are a valuable invention. They save you time.

Electronic signatures are also known as esignatures. They are a valuable invention because they make the document signing process faster, cheaper, and easier. The elimination of paper alone drives a lot of the benefits that come with electronic signatures. You will save time with esignatures.

No More Meetings or Delays

Electronic signatures eliminate the need to meet in person to sign papers. In person meetings consume a lot of time. First, you have to take time to schedule the meeting. Second, you have to travel to and from the meeting. Third, you have to meet to sign documents.

If you don’t have an in person meeting, then you have to deliver papers for signature. Similar to in person meetings, there is also a lot of time wasted with mailing documents. First, you have to prepare the documents for mailing. Second, you have to travel to the post office to mail them. Third, you have to wait to receive the mail. And then of course, you have to figure out how to mail documents back. Each step takes time.

Electronic signature software saves you time. For example, with eSignToday, you simply upload your document and then email the document to each person who needs to sign it. Each person can sign your document on their phone wherever they are. A fully signed document where all signatures appear on the last page will be returned to you.

When you have documents to sign, an esignature service makes a lot of sense. Anyone can sign at any time and any where . . . on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Esignatures eliminate printers, paper, and delays. The key is to find an affordable electronic signature software that fits your budget.

There are many esignature services, however, most are not affordable. The majority charge a monthly subscription whether you use the service or not. For example, DocuSign’s least expensive plan charges $10/month. So if you only need one or two signatures a month, paying $10/month is overkill. Or, if one month you’re doing a lot of esignatures and the next month none, why keep paying for an expensive esignature service?

eSignToday is your Affordable Electronic Signature Software

There is no monthly subscription with eSignToday. Instead, you pay $0.50 for each signature you need. That’s it. eSignToday is available to anyone who needs a document signed, and it’s easy and cheap:

Tips on Writing a Rental Lease Agreement

Lease Agreement Tips — Keeping in mind a few tips on writing a rental lease agreement will help landlords and tenants.

The lease plays an important role between landlord and tenant. It communicates expectations of both parties and specifies important rules and requirements. The lease addresses basic components such as names of landlord and tenant, rent amount, and lease term. We will cover a few tips on writing a rental lease agreement that will help landlords and tenants.

Know the Law

Each state has their own rental housing laws including the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. Therefore, the lease, at a minimum, must comply with each state’s requirements. A good starting point for landlords is to contact their local housing authority for guidance. Templates are also available online, and they can be a good basis for lease creation. For example, Zillow Rental Manager provides customizable online leases based on rental property location.

Be Specific

With any agreement, it is always best to be clear, concise, and complete. Addressing every component of the lease in specific terms reduces confusion. The goal is to avoid potential misinterpretations such that the lease will hold up in court. The tips on writing a rental lease agreement to be specific and clear may mean shorter sentences and a longer lease. That’s okay if the writing is clear and understood by both parties without question.

In addition to online templates as a starting point, there are other tools available online to help with lease signing. Electronic signature services such as eSignToday make the lease signing process fast and easy for landlords and tenants. They are especially useful when you need multiple signatures, as each person can sign on their own time and eliminate the need for a physical appointment.

Embracing sustainability and preserving the environment have become important missions for organizations and individuals. To reduce the effects of global warming, we are trying to discover eco-friendly solutions. Going green with electronic signatures is one step we can take and also results in cost and time savings.

Electronic Signatures Save Paper

Going green with electronic signatures eliminates printers and papers. When we reduce paper, we also remove filing cabinets and the physical space paper requires. Eliminating paper is good for the environment as it saves trees. Additionally, the electronic nature of electronic documents makes storage and document filing easier. Accessing electronic documents online is a lot easier when you are not confined to a physical filing cabinet potentially located thousands of miles away.

and They Eliminate Travel

Electronic signature software enables you to sign documents where ever you are. For example, with eSignToday, you just need a device connected to the internet to esign a document. With esignatures, you eliminate the need to travel which saves the environment on a lot of different fronts: transportation emissions, travel time, and travel costs are just a few to mention.

Technology can be a good thing and a bad thing. For the most part, technology makes our lives easier as it can save us time and eliminate headaches. The flip side of technology is that it can be hard to use or understand . . . sometimes. As a relatively “new” technology, electronic signature software solves problems . . . a good thing.

Problem: No Printer

Most individuals today do not own a printer. The advancements with the smartphone and related apps have trended towards a paperless world. In fact, many have given up laptops or desktops and solely use their smartphone or tablet as their computing device. If you have a document that needs signed and you don’t have a printer, then electronic signature software becomes a solution to meet your need. With most esignature software, you either create your document or upload your document within the software. From there, you can electronically send your document for signatures. This process eliminates the need for a printer.

Problem: No Time to Meet

If you need at least one signature from someone other than yourself, then you need to figure out a way to get that signature. Meeting in person takes time and effort. Mailing and waiting to receive a signed copy takes time and effort. Electronic signature software solves this problem of the time required to gather signatures. For example, with eSignToday, you simply list the email addresses of those who need to sign your document. Once sent, people can sign on their phones when it is convenient for them and without taking your time to meet. And once signed, all parties receive a signed document for their records.

The next time you have a document that needs signed, consider using electronic signature software. There is a lot of choice available with this technology. You will save time and eliminate headaches . . . making your life easier!

At eSignToday, we constantly look for ways to make the esignature process better, while keeping our system super simple to use. We recently added a great esign feature: automatic reminders.

People Procrastinate

It is true. We all forget to do things. We understand human nature. However, don’t worry, at eSignToday, we have everyone’s back!

With eSignToday, if someone does not sign your document, then we send them an email reminder after three days and then again after six days. These reminders are automatic – a built-in part of the eSignToday process.

A Great Esign Process with Automatic Reminders

At eSignToday, we looked at reasons why esigning isn’t more common. We found out:

It is too expensive.
It is too complicated – esigning a Word document should take seconds.

Because we saw these issues, we built a better esign service. eSignToday charges an inexpensive flat rate of $0.50/esignature instead of a monthly fee that discourages small users. Best of all, we keep things simple. Our system guides you through a few simple steps where you upload your document and enter the email address of the folks who need to sign.

Electronic Signatures for Bills of Sale

A bill of sale is a document to record the transfer of ownership of an item between parties. Traditionally it is written by the seller, although the buyer can provide one if the seller does not. Most contain details of the sale including item sold, names of buyer and seller, purchase price, sale date, and signatures of both parties. Electronic signatures for bills of sale have made the document completion process fast and easy.

Electronic Signatures to the Rescue

One of the most common uses for a bill of sale is with vehicle purchases between private parties. It is relatively easy for one party to draw up the bill of sale. Probably the most time consuming aspect with a bill of sale is getting signatures. In a paper based world, the seller would need to have access to a printer, print the bill, and then find time to meet with the buyer for his/her signature. This is a time consuming process and requires a printer, which many people today do not have. And if both parties are not in the same area, it takes more effort to coordinate the signing process.

Electronic signatures for bills of sale have greatly improved the signing process making it easier and faster. Once the bill of sale is written, the seller can use esignature software to sign the bill and send it for the buyer’s signature. The buyer can sign on any device and once signed, all parties have a copy for their records. Electronic signatures eliminate the needs for a printer and an in-person meeting saving everyone time.

There is a lot of electronic signature software to choose from, and they vary based on price and complexity. For example, DocuSign is good if you need a lot of signatures while eSignToday is affordable electronic signature software where you only pay $0.50 for each signature. Find the best solution for your bills of sale and start saving time!
