When working directly for title companies, the whole point, IMO, is that you earn the entire fee. When working for a signing service, they keep their portion, but your fees to the title co should be on the level of what the title co pays a signing service, not what a ss pays you! Not everyone here agrees on that point, but I suspect most do. Don't sell yourself short...
As for long term planning, I recommend you keep an eye on what's happening with digital signing efforts and the push towards Remote Online Notarization (RON). None of us has a crystal ball, but there's at least the possibility of very significant changes happening in this field. We're already seeing signs of those changes underway and various parties with lots of resources are pushing very hard in that direction. It probably won't happen everywhere soon - but I'm a believer in being prepared.
