In general:
1)Read posts on this site and gomobilenotary.com relating to new signing agents.
2) Set up a website
[ ]Include the zip codes you will service, how much you will charge in addition to the base fee, for mileage and copy/print per page.
[ ]Try putting a picture of yourself (preferaby in a professional setting and high quality) on your site. Whenever I do that with a web-based business, my sales go up. I like to do business online better--or at least I think I find it more compelling-- if I know what the other person looks like.
3) Sign up with as many companies as you can do everyday. If you do this, perhaps you will have your first job, start gaining contacts and assignments, within as little time as a month. When reading the postings as mentioned in number one, make a list of the signing agents that will not pay, then, go to the companies list on this site (if you have access--I am not sure if non-paying members have that, or not) Visit each of them that are not on your "bad" list, and if you are willing to work for them, sign up with them.
4)Look for the link to the free how-to lessons on www.50statenotary.com by Victoria Ring and read the ebook she has there. It is accurate and thorough.
5)Check out the materials on justpointandsign.com if you'd like detailed reference material

None of my tips are any great revelation, I realize. But, hopefully they will help. Brenda |
