premier membership
I see a lot of you say it is worth the money to upgrade.... I get business just being on the free listing. My question is- when you upgrade do more companies see your listing? Is that why you get more business? or do the companies see all listings and may call you first because you are listed as a premier notary??? Thanks in advance

Depeding on your area... if there are many notaries in your area, you are better off as a premier notary because if anyone puts up your zip or city, your listing comes up on the list. But you are in a less condenced area then you can list for free because there is no competetion.

I don't think I would get any work if I had listed as a premier member. The Baltimore and Annapolis areas are a bit competitive.

Dear Anonymous:
Since I upgraded to a Premier Membership, I have received approximately 5 - 7 more times the amount of calls I had previously received.
I'm not sure if more companies see the Premier Membership profiles; however, I'm thinking that perhaps a company looking for a Signing Agent may possibly conclude that a Signing Agent that pays extra on a website has put her/him self out there above the rest.
***One pays a little more.....and may get more in return. It has worked that way for me.

It's simple. go to the "find a notary" link on this site, put in your zipcode, and look at the results. If you're a free member you'll be able to see how many premier members are within your vicinity and listed above you. Based on what you see, what do you think the odds are of them reaching your name on the list?
Unless most of the premier members are showing more than 20 miles away from that zip code, I'd say your odds will greatly increase if you upgrade. It'll pay for itself in 1 or 2 signings.
