3 minutes

Hi sellers!

 

For September, we’re bringing you the best resources on how to grow your online business, insider tips from conversion experts, and strategies to improve your SEO rankings. Plus, you get to catch up with the latest trends in SaaS, payments, and eCommerce.

 

So, let’s get straight to the resources you shouldn’t miss this month!

 

We’ve said it countless times before: the SaaS industry is rapidly growing and taking over other industries as well – e.g. health, public administration. And now, Gartner predicts that by 2021, SaaS, which remains the largest segment of the cloud market, will cash in $113.3 billion in revenues. That’s something, right?

 

We’re continuing our “Give me 5!” video series with Philipp Reichardt, Vice President of Sales for North America at 2Checkout, who is going to show you how to successfully transition your business to SaaS & Subscriptions. Trends show that the shift to a subscription-based business is inevitable, so you should adjust your strategy sooner rather than later.
