Has anyone had expereince being a basic member who upgraded to a premier member and could tell me how much their calls increased when they changed to premier?

I got no calls when I was just a basic member, and got lots of calls after upgrading to premier.
As the saying goes, "It pays to advertise". IME advertising $$ spent on these major sites pays for itself many times over.

I agree....your membership for an entire year will be paid with one signing.....If your placed high in your area (check it out by putting your zip code in the "find a notary" you will very happy you paid to upgrade to Premier.

You can't go wrong in upgrading. Your membership fee will come back many times over.

I made back what it cost to upgrade within the first week; your mileage may vary, but premier members tend to get more calls.
Before deciding, do a search in your area and see how many other premier members come up - you don't want to get lost in the sauce...

Instant payback. Better watch out rates might go up.

When I upgraded to premier membership @ Notary Rotary , my calls increased x 3. I was the first listed in my zip codes. It pays for itself.

As one reply advised, check how many notaries are in your zip code. If not too many, I don't know that being a premium member will help much.
I'm in a rural area and there's only 2 of us within a 10 mile radius - neither of us is a premium member. I do know that the other notary used to be, but not anymore.

Totally Worth it!
The key before doing it is to check your zip codes and see what kind of competition you've got, and how'd you'd place compared to them.
I place as #1 in zip code 93535 right now... and, boy, do I know it by the number of calls that I get. People really like to call the first name or two on a list and don't often bother with the others if they get what they need.
It's a fantastic marketing expense that will likely pay for itself, if not immediately...then within just a few months for sure.

I'll Try It
I've received some calls and made a couple of new clients from the basic membership alone, but I'll try advertising too. Although it's been busy, I'd love to have more business.
Thanks!
