How to eSign a document in 90 seconds

Why are we using computers for everything else, but still putting wet signatures on paper? There has to be a better way. The next time someone sends you a contract, don't print it - eSign it! Here's how.

It's time to bring your signature into the future. "But wait," you're saying, "I don't have an e-pen!" My friend, where we're going you won't need one. Welcome to the world of eSignatures, where anything can be a pen.

You don't need to print, sign and scan contracts anymore. You don't need to take a poorly-lit photo of your signed contract and attach it to an email. If you want to get really hip, you barely even need to email anymore. So throw out all your office machinery and step forward into the modern world.

Your signature is a big deal, but it doesn't need to be a big hassle. Here's how to get eSigning in 90 seconds using Lumin.

1. Upload your document to Lumin directly, add it from Google Drive or Dropbox, or choose a form from our Template Discovery.
