Fees

I am a new notary and trying to figure out fees and stuff that I should charge. Can anyone please help me?

Like should I charge for e-doc fees and mileage and so forth? I would also like to find out about upgrading my membership to a premium instead of basic.

This has been discussed over and over and over again. Please do some searching and reading by clicking on the orange search button. There's got to be at least 30 threads titled "Fees".

AND YOU GOT THE ANSWER ON EXACTLY HOW TO FIND THE INFORMATION YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. WHY DON'T YOU TRY BEING A LITTLE LESS UNGRATEFUL AND LOSE THE ATTITUDE SWEETIE?

wow, you 2 are very rude. No wonder why new notaries would rather go anonymous. i have been on here a couple of months and just recently found some of the ways to search for info. Excuse us for asking the "oldtimers" for help! How about not replying if it bothers you...if you can't/won't help, don't respond!

You don't think SarahBeth's response was helpful? It's not enough to tell her how to find the information that's already here?

Maybe if somebody had been that "rude" to you when you first came on the board, it wouldn't have taken you several months to learn how to use the search feature and you could have gotten tons more information that you've actually gotten.

No I don't think her response was helpful, it was very condescending! I didn't say "several months" and I haven't had to ask for any help from anyone. I have read the threads and I think some of these people need to lose their "tude" and leave people alone, if you're not going to give constructive feedback then move on, that's all! By the way Tanya if you still need some help post it and I will get back to you through your email address, I'm a helpful person!

"By the way Tanya if you still need some help post it and I will get back to you through your email address, I'm a helpful person!"

Well considering that SarahBeth's response is the only one in this thread that addresses the original question, you must think it had some helpful value or you wouldn't say "if you still need some help". Or do you just think Tanya isn't bright enough to figure it out now that she's been told how to find the search button and what word to use?

Yeah it did have some helpful value. The way she started it off was unnecessary. Yeah it may have been covered over and over and over again, but how did this person know that? Obviously she hadn't found that search option. I didn't say she wasn't bright enough to figure it out, I'm simply stating that if she needs help (with anything) that I'd be glad to try and help.

Well I think your criticism of me and SarahBeth is as unnecessary as you say SaraBeth's criticism of the original poster was.

If you think it's wrong to do that in here then you shouldn't do it either, period. And if you think it's justified at times, then you need to accept that the times you think it's justified and the times we think it's justified may not always be the same. Otherwise it's just pure hypocricy on your part.

I don't think it was unnecessary to speak up and address the rudeness. I wasn't rudely responding to someone's request for help, there is a difference. That's the last comment I will make on this matter.

More Info

When one starts a new thread there's a box above the area to enter your post with a "light bulb" on it. This is how is reads

Important Notice
If you are going to ask a question, please consider consulting the Search feature before doing so. Many questions have been asked and answered repeatedly on this forum by expert notaries: Should I buy a laser printer? • What are e-docs? • What is a signing agent? • How much should I charge? • How do I get started? Answers to questions like these are just a few clicks away!

If one took a few moments reading the information before entering the post they would find an answer on how to look it up is right there. At least Tanya now knows the search feature exists and she can find a wealth of information. Not only did I help her find the answer to her question but I gave her a way to find answers to many other questions.

Anon if you want candy coated answers then suck on a lollypop when reading the boards. The two best are Charms Blow Pops or Tootsie Pops it just all depends on if your in the gum or chocolate mood. I prefer red Tootsie Pops. Now if you would have bought them during Valentines season you could have gotten a whole bag of just red ones and you wouldn't have to pass the nasty orange ones off on the kids.

Break out the Red Tootsie Pops. You might need them. lol

My first post to Tanya was not rude it was frustrated. My post to anon was straight forward, stern, and had a hint of light heartedness. More importantly both posts had very valuable information in them. Information that opens the door on how to get even more great information. I'm sorry I didn't provide the suckers. I will now put a disclaimer at the top of all of my posts that says "Break out the Red Tootsie Pops for this one".

Re: Anon1 --- Daily Hate Thread-What continues to stupify me



Seems like every day the other message board has a message about how awful the NotaryRotary folks are.

What continues to stupify me is how many people (like you, anon1) read this board, post a note at the other place about how they hate it...then they return to this awful hell hole to read some more.

If you do not think this is a nice place to read or post, please do not be held hostage by your masochistic desires to flog yourself with these posts! If you are choosing to visit this forum knowing there are unprofessional, mean, arrogant, abusive people here, why would you do that to yourself. Get counseling and rid yourself of the need to constantly return here and gobble up every horrible word.

If you are trying to bring some sunshine to the new ones who have fallen by accident into this black hole of nightmares, why not take positive action rather than offering more toxic words?

Rather than be critical, stop talking and start DOing.

From what I see, you are all talk...you say you'd help a new person, but you don't...you just criticize and start the childish jr. high type arguments directed toward those you have a problem with. Skip it. It's old news...people hate other people for any number of reasons. Move on...why not SHOW you are a helpful person? Don't just talk the talk, Anon1...take action on it.

Write a comprehensive post as an answer to "how to" do what they have asked. If you do not want to post it here, publish it elsewhere. Make it an article and put it on your website, or start a blog to develop a few fact sheets of your own. That way when you feel someone needs help you can send them a link.

There is a multitude of help on this forum on the how to's. There is enough information on the thread at #33325 to organize a small publication which will address almost anything you need to find if you use the resources mentioned. New folks could easily start there and get a handle on "what next?" If *you* see a topic to add, by all means write it up.

Ok look I did not want to start any arguements or anything else. I just thought that since you all were notaries and probably have been for sometime that you might beable to help me. Yes SaraBeth was a little rude. But I did figure out what she said. When I look up fees it is not what I really needed but I got the general picture from it.

Thank you all for your help

CaliNotary, I am not trying to spit in anyones face. I just am new and have lots of questions. But it appears that you all don't really like answering postings. I did not know that this Notary Rotary until a escrow company called me to have me do a signing in his office. He told me to sign up on this website. I was just trying to ask questions and now I will look through the search and if I can't find it then I will ask.

Re: Now that should be interesting ...

Why is this being made a big deal. I asked a simple question I am new and I did not know that it was already discussed. I wont ask anymore questions. I would think that people would not mind helping someone new. I don't have any beef with anyone. I did not want anyone to get into arguements over it.

I am not sure who you said like you are someone important to. But I am just as important as you and everyone else. I am not and I was not trying to be rude.
