<<<How do you get started doing general notary work? We do some at assisted living homes but anyone who is ambulatory can go to UPS or any number of places that offer notary services CHEAP.>>>
GNW in CA is very lucrative. Not everyone has the *time* to go to the UPS Store. I'm often called by an individual to their job site to notarize for them personally. Many couples work long hours and the UPS Store is closed by the time they get off work. I was called to the home of a couple who had four year old triplet boys!! They were bouncing off the walls when I arrived - imagine trying to drag them to the UPS Store for notary services.
The Notary is not always there at the UPS Store, they may be out to lunch or have a limited work schedule. Plus, the UPS Store will charge the full $10 notarization fee for each signer and for each document. I can cut deals for the customer by charging them less or reducing my travel fee.
Lots of marketing and networking over a long period of time - at least a year - builds a good GNW clientele list. |
