NotaryRotary Membership

Long story short, for a little project some other Texas notaries and I have an interest in, I have been trying to figure out what counties are covered by Signing Agents in Texas.

What I realize is that there are lots of notaries who are not premium members. At $39.95 and all the membership comes with, it's too bad so many people have listed themselves but have not bought the membership.

Look, I don't know Harry & Tracy so I am not getting a big cut or anything by saying this, but if you don't have a premium membership, please think about budgeting for it.

The Signing Services tab on a Premium Membership will give you a directory complete with links, emails, phone numbers, etc. for looking for business. The ease of using this list alone is worth the money. You'll make it back soon enough with your membership. I get the most of my calls from here and 123Notary.

If you are new and use this board as a reference tool like I have/did, you really should consider putting your $39.95 into supporting the site. The paid membership will get you moved into the top list when someone searches for your zip code.

Also, if you want to find a great place for more intensive forum learning in a private atmosphere, put your dollars into http://www.signingregistry.info

I even pay my membership to http://www.gomobilenotary.com even though I seldom post there or use it to get information.

Wherever you see me post, you can be sure that I do my part to support the forum I take part in.

It's more than good business...it's just the right thing to do.

Brenda's right, as usual.

Put your money where your eyes are. I'd bet that you'll make the membership money back quickly, depending only on 1) How much work YOU put in; B) How saturated your geographic area is with notary signing agents; iii) What the population is in your area.

Re: Brenda's right, as usual.

You are so right, Brenda. What is 39.95 over a year's time , when you need information, you are waiting for documents to download and cannot leave your computer for a walk at the beach, or you need a friend. Can you believe it is .009 cents a day. Talk about donating 10% of your income to any good cause. You get to give and reap at the same time. I know it has worked for me. I also pay for 6 different memberships. Is it costing me to much ??? Not at all, I am enjoying my business and the my bills get paid every month. Thank you for reminding us. All ( Yuu. All). As they say in Texas.

Brown Noser

This is obviously a blantant attempt by Brenda to get on Harry's good side, so as to preclude editing and shortening or her voluminois posts.
Seriously, I agree 100%
Occaisionaly a Texan can be correct. (not a political comment, {or maybe it is })

Gee, and to think I spoke well of Bob-Chicago ...

... in a private email a few minutes ago.

Actually, if I knew your email address I would have forwarded it to you. Your loss not to hear praise for your posts here.

If "brown noser" is the worst you can say of Brenda, you're still OK with me!

Actually,

I could have praised her even more. but she has enough of a swelled head as it is.
Would like to go out and enjoy the beautiful spring sunshine, but I have a ton of paper work to catch up on, and Monday starts the month end rush.
