Read the entire thread. Follow the instructions in that list.

Make a handle and call yourself something and people will be more likely to respond.

Once you have a grasp on the business you'll know what questions to ask.

If you were a carpenter, how would you get experience?
A MaryKay Consultant?
A hairdresser?
A plumber?

You'd create a good marketing speech and a marketing piece which shows you know something about your own trade and then you'd start marketing your services.

You have to figure out how to market yourself as a professional-- a willing, confident, ready, and able albeit inexperienced professional. Tell them why your mouse trap is better than the every day mousetrap.

To get help here, you need to show you have put forth effort to learn something. People are going to tell you to sign up with 300 companies and that's correct. However, if nothing else, create a paragraph about yourself that shows you have the knowledge and you are able to do the job. Put that in your NR profile.

Other than that, I don't what to tell you.

New folks should have created a business plan and figured this much out before they got started. You are not the only one who asks this question, but it sure would help if you had thought about this before you invested into your new business. It's not too late. Get crackin'.

If you read posts of late regarding "qitclaim" you'll find there is a place to download docs for practice.

Start reading the board and you'll get a whole lot of info.

Re: New Notary - Start by reading msg #33325. BTW

"qitclaim" was misspelled on purpose. That's where I remember seeing the info from yesterday or day before.

Hi Crystl,

I have some docs that you could look at if you would like and if I can find it, there is a great link that explains the documents thoroughly. I also have some info on marketing and other things let me know if you would like to see them.

Re: New Notary - Keisha and Crystl - doc descriptions

Keisha's comments made me think of a link in the 33325 message.

http://www.nbsigning.com/downloads/pod.doc

Dogmonger contributed this some time back.

It will tell you what to say for many of the common docs in loan packages.
