Okay, So you just passed you Notary exam or you already hold a notary commission, what is next. Have you considered putting your newly acquired skills to use as a Mobile Loan Document Signing Agent? Please don't put that title on your business card, as it is too long.
First you have to get all the supplies you'll need for your notary bag, you will need to find a mentor to coach and train you for a short period of time. I don't believe in the various training classes, especially those offered through the NNA (National notary Association). You'll need a soul where you can call when you're in the field and something doesn't make sense. Consider finding and experienced notary and offering to give them the same money you would give the NNA for a course. You'll make a friend and be better served for your efforts.
You can find many qualified mentors on needAnotary.net who would gladly train you in the nuances of notarial practices.
You'll need some business cards. Keep them exciting but simple and put your contact info in a 13-point font. Remember many people have a hard time reading letters too small and close together. Make it easy of people to see your email address and URL. notaryinillinois@resceg.com. Notice how is the font is too small it is hard to distinguish the "i", "l", "s" and "c" when they are very close together.
One of the sweet parts of being a mobile notary is that you get to set your own hours. Remember you are a self-employed businessperson and you have to treat your business like a business and not a hobby. You'll need a marketing plan, regular working hours, a quality control system and a business website.
Everything little thing you do can add up. I have had a few members of my previous team do this and they did get some extra business.
